A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Hailed as the father of yoga in the west, Paramhansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit he relates the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounters with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence. Selected as One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century, Autobiography of a Yogi has been translated into 20 languages, and is regarded worldwide as a classic of religious literature. Several million copies have been sold, and it continues to appear on best-seller lists after more than sixty consecutive years in print. Profoundly inspiring, it is at the same time vastly entertaining, warmly humorous and filled with extraordinary personages. Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.

Revue de presse :

A must read for all age groups. I am not at all a spiritual person , even though I didn't order it myself,but my mom did. I just found this book in my home or now can say the book found me.I opened it to move some pages but happened to read it and can say that although I'm a non spiritual person, I like this book so much that I now read it again and again.It's not a book aimed at converting someone,its a really interesting book to read ,full of very exciting,interesting experiences. A must read for all age groups and cultural back grounds. --Student Dec 25, 2011

A must read,this book is outstanding... one should read it at-least once in their life time. it is a merger of science and spirituality, and explains a lot of spiritual experiences in A scientific way. those who are seekers will be benefited in their own individual growth as it is highly recommended by many spiritual masters. --Neetu Jul 3, 2014

A beautifully authored book and a timeless classic. More of an enthralling adventure rather than some faux-religious book. Doesn't enforce any particular form of worship and very secular in approach. --Dr. Aditya Dec 16, 2012
