Autobiography of a Yogi

A spiritual masterpiece by Paramahansa Yogananda, this autobiography is both a fascinating life story and an accessible guide to the ancient science of Yoga and meditation.

Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. Profoundly inspiring, it is also vastly entertaining, warmly humorous, and filled with extraordinary personages.

This edition—published by the Self-Realization Fellowship—includes extensive material added by the author after the first edition was released, including a final chapter covering the closing years of his life.

Selected as one of the "100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century", it has been translated into more than 50 languages, sold millions of copies, and remains a foundational text in the yoga and spiritual communities worldwide.

Yogananda shares his remarkable childhood, his encounters with saints and sages, and his journey from India to the West. With wit, wisdom, and warmth, he reveals the subtle laws behind both everyday experiences and extraordinary phenomena often called miracles.
