|  Autobiography
of a Yogi
by Paramhansa Yogananda
Original
1st edition, copyright 1946
Ananda
and Crystal Clarity Publishers are pleased to announce the online publication
of the complete 1st edition of Autobiography of a Yogi.
Through
this online version, we hope to make Yogananda's spiritual classic freely available
to seekers throughout the world. The print version of the 1946 Autobiography is
available direct from Crystal Clarity Publishers through secure online ordering.
We hope you enjoy this free gift of the first online edition.
Ananda
was founded by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda. Kriyananda was
inspired by his guru to start 'World Brotherhood Colonies'. Ananda, and its sister
colonies throughout the world, are the fulfillment of Yogananda's dream. See Chapter
48, in this 1946 edition, to read Yogananda's own words on World Brotherhood Colonies.
Autobiography
of a Yogi is not an ordinary book. It is a spiritual treasure. To read its message
of hope to all truth-seekers is to begin a great adventure.
This
is a verbatim reproduction of the original 1946 edition, complete with the original
photos, many of them not seen since earlier editions. Although subsequent printings,
reflecting revisions made after the author's death in 1952, have sold over a million
copies and have been translated into more than 19 languages, the few thousand
of the original have long since disappeared into the hands of collectors.
Now,
with this online version, the 1946 edition is widely available, with all its inherent
power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.
