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.

I've read this book years ago but was so delighted to be able to sit back, relax and allow the beautiful voice of Ben Kingsley to transport me to destinations in days of yore. I will never tire of this story and learning about the incredible life of Paramahansa Yogananda.

This book came to me against all odds, during the pandemic, after I had started taking online yoga classes including meditation, breathing techniques and Kriya yoga asanas. With the teachings from this book, I am now on the path of Self-Realization. I own a hardcover version of this book which I keep next to my bed and read a few pages every night before going to sleep. This book is an answer to the silent cries of my soul that always believed in the existence of something greater than this physical universe.
I listened to this book during my drives to and from work/grocery stores and while I did dishes after a meal, while folding laundry and while doing any other mundane tasks.
Thank you Audible for facilitating the process for millions who don’t have a lot of time to ‘sit and read’ a book. I was indeed sad when it ended but I know that's not the end of my journey. It is just the beginning. Ben Kingsley made it sound like it was Yogananda himself was talking to us. A must read!

Changed me forever.

I liked the journey in which swami Yogananda explores himself and faith in energy. Stories of great people in history like Mahatama Gandhi and Guru Rabindranath Tagore who followed the spiritual path in same but different way are inspiring.
