Description

The book is an introduction to the methods of attaining God-realization and to the spiritual wisdom of the East. The writing of the book was prophesied long ago by the nineteenth-century master Lahiri Mahasaya (Paramguru of Yogananda) also known as the Yogiraj and Kashi baba. Before becoming a yogi, Lahiri Mahasaya's actual name was Shyama Charan Lahiri.

Author

Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952), born Mukunda Lal Ghosh in Gorakhpur, brought Kriya Yoga to America and wrote Autobiography of a Yogi, the book that made a guru's life a modern classic of spiritual narrative. He spoke in Boston and Los Angeles, founded Self-Realization Fellowship, and died in California. The voice is devoted, exact about teachers, and still the doorway many Western readers take into Indian yoga.
