Autobiography of a Yogi: Hindi (Hindi Edition) Review
An inspiring book introduced to me by my father, I have grown with the wise words of the Yogi. There was a time I could never believe anything related to the so called "holy men", but Paramhansa Yogananda changed my preconceived notion towards Yogis and holy men in general. Some of them are, in fact, beyond the restrains imposed by any religion, above fixed beliefs.
When I shifted to my own abode, this was one of the first tomes that I acquired. And now with Kindle, I was truly touched when I could download the topaz version of this great publication. Like Kahlil Gibran's Prophet, this is my book of choice to gift to friends.
Highly recommended to anyone who approaches spirituality with an open mind.

Wonderful account of the life of a transplanted Yogi - Sara Mayes - Salt Lake City, Utah
Paramahanda Yogananda. An account of his life in India and his travels abroad. He eventually traveled to the USA and started teaching on a wide-scale level.
Yogananda writes in a style that is full of life and exquisite in his use of the English language.
I recommend this book as a great read and for those that are interested a Yogi's young life, how they came to enlightenment, etc.
Not what a spiritual seeker should be reading - Stephen Sundaresan - Columbus, OH USA
This book shows the achievements of those who follow Kriya Yoga. So what? Does it attempt to answer any real questions, like "Who Am I?", or "Why has this consciousness come about?" or "What was my state before I was born?". Nope. It is like an advertisement to Kriya Yoga. 'Attain siddhis (powers) by practicing Kriya Yoga! Nevermind your true self, get more involved in the Maya!'
Read something worthwhile, like the Gita or I Am That.
A great book! - Genevieve Rohan - Tollhouse, Ca United States
I read this book last summer, but a more recent edition. This copy is the original 1946 version. At my first read, I didn't realize that this was the case or that there might be a difference in the versions. I am enjoying my second read, especially keeping in mind that this is the original version. It is said to be a classic in religious literature. Throughout my first read I could not suspend my disbelief at some of the stories Yoganada related. This read, I took the advice of a friend and am reading the book as if it were an adventure novel. I am trying to let my rational, scientific self just enjoy Yogananda's story telling, humor and insight.
