Of the 1946 first edition ! After reading this one! Read this book countless times, went to order on Amazon the one with the blue cover was cheaper - turns out it’s the original edition and it’s amazing! Totally different imo Would recommend both to a friend of course duhh - the only book Steve Jobs had on his desk when he died It’s next level bridge from physics to quantum life changing every time

This book has changed my life - really. How many yogis have written their autobiography? You will love paramahansa yogananda. After 32 years (when I first got it) it’s just getting better and better.

Best Book Ever

This is a masterpiece of spiritual power quiet rare in any written form. With this new edition we finally have the real complete version of an inspired work. It is truly a beautiful digital book. This man was truly extraordinary. The audiobook version of this is also quite remarkable. And I have never been anything but grateful and inspired in reading any of Paramahansa Yogananda‘s writings. In fact I cannot recommend this book enough! A must read.

The very best thing in my life 🕉🙏🏻✝️🌟 The one thing Steve Jobs shared with the world upon his passing. The fulfillment of the promise of Christ to send the Comforter, and his teachings united with those of Krishna and Yoga. God, God, God!

Having little to no knowledge of Yogananda I stumbled along this book after reading several books by contemporaries on staying present. I read it in one weekend and have been talking about it since. I recommend to all. I can’t express enough how it’s changed my perspective. It’s opened my heart again to a spiritual realm I had completely written off as nonsense. Even if you read it as fiction (it is a magic carpet ride) you will benefit from its timeless wisdom. I downloaded both the audio and written versions. Both are great. I recommend SRF versions.

The whole book, from start to finish is amazing. Great to know the Eastern spirituality and their teachings. We are very grateful to Yogananda’s lineages of Guru who wanted to teach the Kriya Yoga to the masses and not just confined to the limited people.

I’ve seen this book over the years but never thought it would interest me. At the urging of a friend I bought it and I am completely blown away by the deep spiritual truths, amazing story telling, humor and incredible writing skills of Yoganada. I’m a midwestern white woman who was raised Catholic. Anyone who’s intersted in the histroy of religion, yoga and spirituality will love this book.

An artifact of a true master with otherworldly experience.

After stumbling upon this book I soon realized it was by no accident. Circumstances in my life had led me to seek God about how to deal with them, as I had done for the last 36 years. This time God's response was different. He was determined to draw me closer to him than ever before, and to change my way of seeing and dealing with him and my life concerns and life in general. He wanted me to know his loving ways towards me and all his creation, his sweet expressions of himself all around. The encounter and reading of this book is a small but critical part of this leg of my spiritual journey. And if you're seeking a closeness with God, wanting to hear his voice and learn from him, this book will give you insight and direction. My spiritual expression through my Judaic-Christian points of view have not been challenged by this book. Instead, I've found a deeper understanding and an appreciation for the foundational aspects of my religion. Read it and be blessed.
