Autobiography of a Yogi

De: Paramahansa Yogananda

Narrado por: Ben Kingsley

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.

On my mother's bookself since 1972

I used to walk by this book on my mother's bookself and I never picked it up to read. I can't believe my parents read this book in the 60's because it was so far ahead of it's time. In the land of Gandhi, this author writes about his life and the intricate ceremonies, and insights of Hindus. I was blown away, and will continue to return to the book for the stories.

Awesome!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!! in every Divine way, highly recommend for reasons already mentioned here .

Reading this book has opened my eyes and inspired me beyond words. Hearing first hand the life of a Guru gives me a perspective on the world that is very moving. I would highly recommend this book.

Life changing

This book is truly about self realization! Anyone who reads this book will come away with a changed perspective

Loved this book

I loved this book. It gave me insight into the life of a man searching for the meaning of life. The book is a wonderfully told story of a man's life. I wish I could have met the yogi.
