"There has been nothing before, written in English or in any other European language, like this presentation of Yoga." --Columbia University Press

Selected by a Harper San Francisco-sponsored panel of renowned scholars and authors as 'One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Century'

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.

Autobiography of a Yogi is not an ordinary book. It is a spiritual treasure. To read its message of hope to all truth seekers, is to begin a great adventure. This is a verbatim reprinting of the original, 1946 edition of Autobiography of a Yogi. Although subsequent printings, reflecting revisions made after the author's death in 1952, have sold over a million copies and have been translated into more than 19 languages, the few thousand of the original have long since disappeared into the hands of collectors. Now, with this reprint, the 1946 edition is again available, with all its inherent power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.

Editions past the third have been prepared since the author's passing in 1952. In 1953, Self-Realization Fellowship, acquired the rights to Autobiography of a Yogi from Philosophical Library; it has been the publisher of all subsequent editions, until this original reprint put out by Crystal Clarity, Publishers. In order to be faithful to the original edition, we have not corrected errors of spelling, grammar, or punctuation.
