Autobiography of a Yogui is one of the hidden gems and treasures of the Spiritual haven and libraries around the Globe. It was written and published by Guru Paramahansa Yoganda in 1946 and founder of Self- Realization Fellowship and Yogoda Satsanga of India. He published newer editions of the great book until he left his body consciously in 1952 at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California on March 7 1952. He taught Kriya Yoga, a higher Raja Yoga method taught in the Golden Age, milleniums ago. It was the only book Steve Jobs read once a year in his Ipad and the only E-Book he had.

Even Elvis Presley used to visit the headquarters at Mount Washington and studied his lessons.  If you have not read this Classic, please give yourself a chance to read it. Autobiography of a Yogi
