“Autobiography of a Yogi,” authored by Paramahamsa Yogananda, is a renowned book on yoga and meditation, offering an in-depth exploration of Indian spirituality.

“Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahamsa Yogananda is not just his life story but a detailed account of his spiritual journey and encounters with influential figures. From an early age, Yogananda was curious about existence beyond the physical realm, which led him to various Indian saints, gurus, and notable international personalities. The book highlights his search for his guru, culminating in his meeting with Sri Yukteshwar and mastering Kriya Yoga, which he later introduced to the West. It also explores his relationship with his guru, experiences in the hermitage, and attempts to explain miracles’ underlying science. Yogananda’s journey eventually took him to the United States, where he taught yoga and meditation, and he recounts his meetings with renowned figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, and others in his candid style.
