Autobiography of a Yogi

The Autobiography of a Yogi is a spiritual memoir at the same time as it is an introduction to the ancient Indian practice of yoga, and to meditation. The book describes the life of Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) from his birth in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India until his death in Los Angeles, California. Self-Realization Fellowship editions include extra material about Yogananda's later years. This book has been published with extra material added by Yogananda after the first edition was published and it has been translated into more than 50 different languages. It can be considered a classic of religious literature and has sold several million copies after more than sixty consecutive years in print.
