Born in India on January 5, 1893, Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the true beauty, nobility, and divinity of the human spirit. After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Sri Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to twenty-one educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship, the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced hundreds of thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of Yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation. Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Sri Mrinalini Mata, one of his closest disciples and president of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India since 2011. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons for home study), the society also oversees temples, retreats, and centers around the world.
Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. This acclaimed autobiography presents a fascinating portrait of one of the great spiritual figures of our time. With engaging candor, eloquence, and wit, Paramahansa Yogananda tells the inspiring chronicle of his life: the experiences of his remarkable childhood, encounter with many saints and sages during his youthful search throughout India for an illumined teacher, ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, and the thirty years that he lived and taught in America. Also recorded here are his meetings with Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, the Catholic stigmatist Therese Neumann, and other celebrated spiritual personalities of East and West. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence. Selected as "One of the 100 Best Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century," Autobiography of a Yogi has been translated into 20 languages, and is regarded worldwide as a classic of religious literature. Several million copies have been sold, and it continues to appear on best-seller lists after more than sixty consecutive years in print. Profoundly inspiring, it is at the same time vastly entertaining, warmly humorous and filled with extraordinary personages. Self-Realization Fellowship's editions, and none others, include extensive material added by the author after the first edition was published, including a final chapter on the closing years of his life.

帕拉宏撒·尤迦南達,一個從齣生就充滿神跡的人,自詡在嬰兒時期就保有前世的記憶,轉世前是喜馬拉雅山雪地中的瑜伽行者。 他1893年1月5日生於印度東北部的戈勒剋布爾,是把剋利亞瑜伽傳播到西方的重要聖者。 剋利亞瑜伽,字麵的含義為“藉著某種動作或儀式,與無限閤而為一”...
評分讓我大失所望。 這種失望,就好比:原來以爲《西遊記》是會講佛法、修行的,最後看完,纔知道:哦,原來就是逗老人、小孩樂的茶餘飯後的物事。 因此,當初的期望越大,失望也就越大。 瑜伽,連印度大衆自己都有一搭無一搭的東西,又如何流傳下去呢?佛教,是...
評分對唯物主義的人來說,這本絕對毀三觀,而且相信相當一部分根本人不會讀完。。還有一部分會把此書當科幻或魔幻小說來讀吧。。。囧 即使對去教堂超過10年,練瑜伽也有三年的偶來說,還是覺得incredible~ jobs教主就是這本每年看一遍? 不過,雖然不可思議,但仍能感到各種正能量...
評分之所以說這本書是充徹著矛盾的,因為對於大多數無宗教信仰的國人來說,本來玄之又玄的意識層麵的東西是很難被瞭悟到的。當然,也不說這是一本高深難讀的書,相反,我覺得她是一本童年的連環畫那樣簡單。。書的每一章節,蜻蜓點水,流水賬似的記錄著自己的見聞,都已小故...
評分寫於2016年4月 終於在懷疑與嘲笑的情緒中強迫自己把印度瑜伽大師帕拉宏撒·尤迦南達著的《一個瑜伽行者的自傳》看完瞭。還是印證瞭我最初的觀點,沒錢的人不要學什麼宗教,因為你又要掙錢又要學習你會碰到很多障礙。彆來反駁我說要是真的齣傢瞭大傢都一樣不需要花什麼錢,是的...
