Autobiography of a Yogi

Paramhansa Yogananda's journey unfolds through his childhood, the search for his guru, and his transformation into a monk devoted to Kriya Yoga meditation. The narrative highlights his 1920 arrival in America, where he captivates audiences while spreading his teachings, particularly in Los Angeles. His 1935 return to India offers a reflective pause before he resumes his mission in the U.S., culminating in the writing of this influential autobiography. The book provides insights into his spiritual encounters and the cultural exchange between East and West.
