We keep hearing about spirituality, yoga, meditation, kundalini awakening and salvation. For those of you who are vaguely knowledged about such terms but seeking a reliable source of sensible and practical information, Autobiography of a Yogi is a great choice. If you expect a yogi's autobiography to be a boring account of how he found God, this shall be a different kind of an autobiography for you.
To clear any prejudice you might be having towards picking up this book:
- You need not be a follower of Paramahansa Yogananda
- You don't have to have an opinion about how good a spiritual master he is.
- You really don't have to know a word on spirituality.
- The book is not about Hinduism. In fact, more Biblical references than Hindu scriptures can be found throughout the book.
The book doesn't teach you to become a yogi. Rather, Paramahansa Yogananda discusses his spiritual affiliation since childhood, scientific and logical explanations about meditation, breathing techniques, past lives, reincarnation, astrology and his experiences of meeting other revered masters of India and elsewhere.
