Yogananda's classic in its original form. The "Autobiography of a Yogi" is one of the most significant spiritual documents of our time. In vivid imagery, Yogananda recounts his life and work, which were infused with love, wisdom, and a desire to serve others. In 1920, he left India to teach yoga and Eastern spirituality in the West. His life reads like one grand miracle, yet it is nothing more than the practical application of cosmic laws. The "Autobiography" reached a million-strong audience and significantly shaped the spiritual worldview of Western seekers. It is all the more remarkable that to this day, the definitive edition from 1951, just before Yogananda's death, has not been published in German. With this now available authentic version, we come even closer to his teachings.
