Followers of many religious traditions have come to recognize this book as a masterpiece of spiritual literature. Yogananda was the first yoga master of India whose mission it was to live and teach in the West. His first-hand account of his life experiences includes childhood revelations, stories of his visits to saints and masters in India, and long-secret teachings of Self-realization that he made available to the Western reader.

Experience all its inherent power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.
