Publisher's Summary
When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.
This audio edition, featuring Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley's masterful narration, contains the complete text of Paramahansa Yogananda's life story, an absorbing account of a singular search for Truth. Yogananda describes his experiences with modern-day saints and illuminated masters of India, and presents a definitive introduction to the whole science and philosophy of Yoga.

Superb Insight Into Indian Life and Spirituality
This is a magical classic, the only autobiography of a prominent real yogi ,I know of in existence, who was acknowledged by both East and West in the 1930s.
It is often placed on university reading lists for Asian Studies,
it is well worth the read for the fascinating story alone.
Narration is superb. Enjoy!

I have listened to this book 3 x
I have also read the book 4 x so I am a fan. When I recommend the book for people who are not used to reading I advise to listen and read at the same time as son name pronunciation can be difficult to absorb with just the ear. But n saying that I now prefer the audio version. Masterfully narrated and produced. For a life changing experience I highly recommend. Yogananda and the power of this book has acted as a gateway for many enlightened beings. Michael Singer and the Untethered Soul being one of note. Namaste

Love
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book it was fascinating given when it was written and how new these concepts were in the west and possibly 100 years later still are to some people. Also really enjoyed the way it was read I felt the narration gave it authenticity

Quite a Surprise
A number of surprises really.
Surprising beautiful use of the English language & phrases. Surprise of the upbringing he came from & of course quite surprised at the small yet significant lessons I learnt in listening to this tale. Certainly recommended.
