About this listen

When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

This audio edition, featuring Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley's masterful narration, contains the complete text of Paramahansa Yogananda's life story, an absorbing account of a singular search for Truth. Yogananda describes his experiences with modern-day saints and illuminated masters of India, and presents a definitive introduction to the whole science and philosophy of Yoga.

There's transformative power in the Master's words

This book has the power to awaken and transform the receptive reader, and even the world. By far the best book on any subject I've ever read - and my favourite. I highly recommend it. Masterfully narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley, it stirs the depths of one's soul.

A must read that I will revisit for the rest of my life

An incredible account of Paramahansa Yogananda’s life, as told in his own words and expertly read by Ben Kingsley. This is a very important book and a treasure. It opened my mind.

I wish I read this book a decade ago

The performance by the narrator was done incredibly- He seems to have had quite a grasp on the subject matter. The content of this book obviously came to me at the right time in my life, but I definitely wish I was ready to receive it 10-15 years ago. This is a gravely important book for our tumultuous and polarized state of global affairs. This book seeks to bring unity to cultures that generally do not mix well and, in my humble opinion, it does just that.

Timeless Classic!

I was mentioned so many times in other books I have read, that I knew that it would checked off eventually. I am very happy with the everyday miracles that spill forth from these Yogi's and Yogini's. I was a very enlightening ride, to say the least!

A Genuine Masterpiece

The autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda is a treasure trove of Historical Spiritual Knowledge.
I feel eternally indebted to Yogananda for the care he took in preparing his autobiography.
Sir. Ben Kingsley's narration breathes new life into Yogananda's autobiography and cements it into the subconscious mind.

Beautifully Insightful Spiritual Stories

Thank you Audible for making this book available in a listening medium or I may not have been able to digest these truly enjoyable stories by reading.

Thank you Sun for recommending this to me as it helps greatly in my path to understanding.
