About this listen

When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

This audio edition, featuring Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley's masterful narration, contains the complete text of Paramahansa Yogananda's life story, an absorbing account of a singular search for Truth. Yogananda describes his experiences with modern-day saints and illuminated masters of India, and presents a definitive introduction to the whole science and philosophy of Yoga.

Great account of a life of a Yogi which is full of inspiration and compels one to think and understand about life which is much beyond what is visible and obvious. Wonders of Kriya Yoga and life stories of many saints have been captured in this book which thankfully immortalizes the life story of true yogis. We should be great ful that such a book has been written for the readers. Great rendition of this book in audio format makes it a spell bonding experience.

Life changing book for people who are inclined towards spirituality and for the others it is intriguing at the least. the narration of Ben Kinsley made the journey through the book even better. The meditative voice of Ben is outstanding.

If you really listen to the story it will certainly influence you, your thoughts and life. While listening to it, I felt what a waste I’m doing to myself by being into habits. So I don’t smoke anymore. Drinking too reduced to rarely from regularly! Swami ji has changed my life.. Highly recommend

In the world of Netflix, very less people read or listen to book. I am one such person who reads and listen to book. Seems like i started the habit of reading for this book only. This book have some thing for everyone. The journey of Pramhansa Yogananda, is a journey which cannot be explained in words.

He meet many saints during his journey and all of these stories will take you to next level.

This is not a book, but an experience

Autobiography of a Yogi is essentially a new age biography of the Yogic aspects of India. As the narrative proceeds through the life of a great Indian Guru, there is a crisscross of geographies and chronologies which weaves a mesmerising and elevating experience for the readers. Notwithstanding whether one is familiar or not with Yoga and India, the book is a worthwhile guide.

An inspirational peephole into the Yogic India
