Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda, is not an ordinary book. It is a spiritual treasure. To read its message of hope to all truthseekers is to begin a great adventure. First published in 1946, this book helped launch a spiritual revolution throughout the world.

This is a verbatim reproduction of the original 1946 edition, with only the original unedited words of its author. Later editions introduced hundreds of editing changes to the Master’s words.

Yogananda brought clarity to hundreds of thousands of people regarding the ancient teachings of India – previously shrouded in the cultural assumptions and terminology of an era long past. These teachings include the path of Kriya Yoga, which Yogananda called the ‘jet-airplane’ route to God, consisting of ancient yoga techniques to hasten the spiritual evolution of the student.
