Description

The value of Yogananda's Autobiography isgreatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books inEnglish about the wise men of India which has been written, not bya journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race andtraining--in short, a book about yogis by a yogi. As an eyewitnessrecountal of the extraordinary lives and powers of modern Hindusaints, the book has importance both timely and timeless. To itsillustrious author, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing both inIndia and America, may every reader render due appreciation andgratitude. His unusual life-document is certainly one of the mostrevealing of the depths of the Hindu mind and heart, and of thespiritual wealth of India, ever to be published in the West.
