Publisher's Summary
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.

Story
In The Surrender Experiment, Michael A. Singer tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to relinquish his personal fears and desires and simply let life unfold before him. Singer shares how this pivotal decision to embrace the flow of life led him to extraordinary success, sustained him through times of crisis, and allowed him to cultivate profound inner peace—whether as a young man pursuing a life of solitude in the woods, the founder of a thriving spiritual community in Florida, or the CEO of a billion-dollar medical software company.

It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy.

Spiritual Power of Man's Word Man's word is Spirit in man. Words are sounds occasioned by the vibrations of thoughts. Thoughts are vibrations sent forth by the Ego or Soul. Every word that leaves your mouth ought to be potent with your genuine soul vibration. Words in most people are lifeless because they are automatically put forth into the ether, without being impregnated with soul force. Too much talking, exaggeration or falsehood used in connection with words is just like shooting bullets out of a toy gun, without the gun powder.

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.

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.
