Autobiography of a Yogi

Buchzusammenfassung

Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952) was an Indian yogi, monk, and guru who initiated millions of American and Western devotees into Kriya Yoga. To further his mission, he founded the Self-Realization Fellowship which now runs over 500 temples, ashrams, and meditation centers around the world. Some of his books and published commentary include The Yoga of Jesus, The Science of Religion, and Living Fearlessly.

As a child, Mukunda displayed remarkable spiritual insight and extraordinary abilities, foreshadowing his destined role in an ancient yogic lineage. His life was shaped by profound experiences, including visions of Lahiri Mahasaya, a sacred amulet guiding him to his guru, and his unwavering quest for enlightenment. Despite societal and familial challenges, Mukunda’s devotion to self-realization led him to Sri Yukteswar, who became his mentor for over a decade. Under his guidance, Mukunda, later known as Yogananda, mastered Kriya Yoga and embraced the "human drama," balancing spiritual wisdom with practical realities. His journey bridged Eastern and Western philosophies, culminating in the establishment of the Self-Realization Fellowship, a global spiritual movement. Through deep meditation and divine connection, Yogananda transcended physical limitations, embodying the ultimate goal of samadhi—union with the Divine—while inspiring countless others to pursue their spiritual paths.
