Book Reviews of Autobiography of a Yogi : Includes Bonus CD
Book Review: The single most significant book I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read and re-read this book several times. It carries us on the spiritual and physical journeys of a man who loves God above all. His love for God led him to meet Living Saints of all religions, which he carefully details in this book. He talks of meeting Levitating Saints, non-eating Saints, Saints who battle tigers with their bare hands, and many others. It is an astounding and deeply loving book that gives to the reader a sense of being profoundly loved by God, as well as by this man who was so Godlike, but speaks only of the greatness of others, and was humble about his own vast acheivements. I was so profoundly moved by this book that if I could have only one book to read for the rest of my life, this would be it. I rate it a 10, but would rate it a 100 if I could. It is truly, truly a book that can touch, and change your life, if you will allow it to, in spectacular and miraculous ways. It is the *kiss* of God!! It is the song of an embodied angel!! It is superlative, astounding, magnificent!!! I loved it way beyond what words can say
Book Review: MUST READ BOOK OF THE CENTURIES
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent. Paramahansa Yogananda gives the world the opportunity to know the Spiritual World only accomplished from Kriya Yoga. He gives himself and his guru Swami Sri Yukteswar, and his guru Lahiri Mahasaya as examples of a normal human accomplishing the Devine power by Kriya Yoga. He does not separate the religions, but combines them together as many paths to one destination, God. He explains the Hindu and Christian religion in simple words and makes us beleive that they are not so different. Christ and Krisna is one. God has taken many avatar to show human the way back to home. This book is one of the most important books to read for Self Realization and to be with God for everBook Review: Many Christians will feel less empty for reading Yogananda.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read it 20 years ago and have never been touched so deeply by a book before or since. This was the book that answered all the life questions my Christian upbringing couldn't or didn't want to. Yogananda actually helped me to understand and respect Christianity more than any minister had. He confirmed as true the persistent whisper within of something more in life than what we see. His words made me cry with gratitude, and they made me stronger. I felt I had come home and was no longer alone, and that has lasted 20 years. Only read it if you ache for change and truthBook Review: Spiritual revelation for the pragmatist
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have even the slightest hesitancy about accepting any proscribed definition of your role in this life, read this book! Written with candor, humor, clarity and intelligence, Paramahansa Yogananda opens up a vista onto a spiritual potential that brings tears to the eyes. When I finished this book I felt as I have only done a few times in my life, abandoned! An adventure was over and, like a great vacation, I was the sadder for it. It must be the most wonderful of gifts to know such a person in life; we are indeed fortunate that we may know him after.
This book is a treaure. I heartily recommend it.Book Review: Autobiography of a Yogi is a wondrous spiritual adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
It has succeeded in forever altering my spiritual outlook. Paramahansa Yogananda's fresh metaphysical and spiritual concepts, sound both logically and intuitively, have the power to inspire, to develop, and to carress the soul in a way unlike any other book I've read. This book will take you on an unparalleled spiritual jorney. I give it my highest recommendations
