Regarded as one of the most spiritual books of all time “Autobiography of a Yogi” is the story of Paramahansa Yogananda told in his own words. As Walter Y. Evans-Wentz remarks in his preface to the book “The value of Yogananda’s ‘Autobiography’ is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race and training—in short, a book about yogis by a yogi.” This work takes the reader along on Yogananda’s spiritual journey from his upbringing in Gorakhpur, India, to his search for his spiritual guru, Yukteswar Giri, and ultimately to the founding of the Self-Realization Fellowship in the United States. Not only a great chronicle of a deeply spiritual life, “Autobiography of a Yogi” has also been hugely influential in disseminating the spiritual ideas of yoga and meditation in the Western world. Cited as an influence for such luminaries as Steve Jobs and George Harrison, “Autobiography of a Yogi”, will surely inspire readers for years to come. This edition reproduces the original 1946 edition.
“Scientific Healing Affirmations” is the guide to positive, concentrated thought by renowned Indian yogi and guru Paramahansa Yogananda. Born in India in 1893, Yogananda came to the United States in 1920 to spread the teachings of yoga and Indian spirituality to the West. His speaking tours and published works were incredibly successful in bringing yoga and meditation to a new audience and Yogananda is often called the “Father of Yoga in the West”. Most famous for his 1946 memoir, “Autobiography of a Yogi”, Yogananda wrote extensively on spirituality, religion, and history, as well as practical guides on yoga, meditation, and positive thinking. “Scientific Healing Affirmations” was far ahead of its time in showing how effective and useful positive affirmations can be in one’s daily life. Now a mainstream practice and embraced by the medical and scientific community for how affirmations can significantly improve one’s psychological and physical state, Yogananda was one of the first to bring this ancient Eastern spiritual practice to America and the West. Detailed, comprehensive, encouraging, and accessible, “Scientific Healing Affirmations” guides readers in incorporating affirmations into their daily lives and continues to be one of the most important books ever written on this powerful and life-changing practice.
