Spreading the Wisdom of Autobiography of a Yogi Globally
The Book that Sparked a Spiritual Revolution
Sparking a spiritual revolution with millions of copies sold, Autobiography of a Yogi is a spiritual treasure. Reading its message of hope is to begin a great adventure.
A sage of Paramhansa Yogananda’s stature rarely writes a firsthand account of his life experiences.
Will you help us share the liberating message of Self-realization through the original Autobiography of a Yogi?
“As a bright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda’s presence in this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely, when there is a real need among men.”
—The Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram
