About
'Autobiography of a Yogi' tells the life story of Paramahansa Yogananda, one of the best spiritual books ever written. This introduces western readers to India's ancient science of Yoga. This book is a must read for anyone interested in spirituality, God-realization, and the laws behind miracles. The book covers Yogananda’s remarkable childhood, and describes his search for his guru, Yukteswar Giri. Yogananda then spent ten years in training to become a yoga master. He taught many others The Science of Kriya Yoga, a technique that was initiated by Yukteswar. The Yogi also established a school by the name of Yogoda Satsanga Brahmacharya Vidyalaya.
