Paramahamsa Yogananda (1893 - 1952)

Picture


Paramahamsa Yogananda is the chief disciple of Sri Yukteshwar Giri and is one of the most famous yogis from India.  He has countless devotees who have been influenced by one of the works of the century called "The Autobiography of a Yogi" where he documents his life history and his various meetings with Saints.  Some of the stories he talks about may be unimaginable to the modern day individual who doubts any possibilites of mircales, but for the people who are open to possibilities, this book is a treasure trove and a "Must" for any spiritual seeker in ANY path.  

Any doubts by the common layman of the authenticity of the experiences in this book should be dispelled by the strong recommendations of the experiences of this saint by the 2 foremost saints of the Advaita tradion in the 20th century who practically the whole of India reveres - Swami Sivananda and Kanchi Paramacharya.
