Summary

“Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda is a spiritual memoir full of captivating stories that detail the author's journey from his childhood in India to becoming a renowned yogi and spiritual teacher.

The stories throughout his journey are beyond comprehension as Yogananda shares accounts of meeting numerous Yogis and Gurus with incredible siddhis (yogic powers).

Yogananda describes his encounters with saints and spiritual leaders, including his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar. Throughout his spiritual quest he shares his experiences of higher states of consciousness as well as those of others he meets.

This powerful and insightful story offers the reader a jaw dropping memoir as well as a deeper look into the principles of yoga and meditation. Yogananda emphasizes the unity of all religions and the potential for divine realization similar to Swami Satchidananda.

This memoir is a beautiful introduction to Eastern spirituality and the teachings of Kriya Yoga. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to dive deeper on their spiritual path.
