About this listen
Paramhansa Yogananda was the first yoga master of India whose mission it was to permanently live and teach in the West. In the 1920s, as he criss-crossed the United States on what he called his "spiritual campaigns", his enthusiastic audiences filled the largest halls of America. His initial impact was truly impressive. But his lasting influence is greater still.
This audiobook, the version of which was first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Only rarely does a sage of Paramhansa Yogananda's stature write a firsthand account of his life experiences. Followers of many religious traditions have come to recognize Autobiography of a Yogi as a masterpiece of spiritual literature. Yet, for all its depth, it is full of gentle humor, lively stories, and practical common sense. Now, with this audiobook, the 1946 edition is again available, with all its inherent power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.
Public Domain (P)2008 Crystal ClarityI now understand the appeal, but don't personally find the belief system attractive. As someone who has read numerous Christian missionary biographies, I couldn't help but see this book as an example of Hindu/Yogic proselytism.
The narrator was pretty good, but sometimes the recording was a bit too echoey making some sections difficult to understand.
Very interesting book, but not life changing
