  • Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramhansa Yogananda
    AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI By Paramhansa Yogananda WITH A PREFACE BY W. Y. Evans-Wentz, M.A., D. Litt., D. Sc. “Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”—John 4:48. THE PHILOSOPHICAL LIBRARY NEW YORK Copyright, 1946, by Paramhansa Yogananda 1946 First Edition, First Printing Published by THE PHILOSOPHICAL LIBRARY, INC. 15 East 40th Street New York, N.Y. This manuscript was compared to electronic sources created by Project Gutenberg and electronic and print sources created by Crystal Clarity Publishers. The draft you are reading now has not yet been independently proofread or reviewed. Dedicated to the Memory of LUTHER BURBANK An American Saint PREFACE By W. Y. EVANS-WENTZ, M.A., D.Litt., D.Sc. Jesus College, Oxford; Author of The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Tibet’s Great Yogi Milarepa, Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines, etc. THE VALUE of Yogananda’s Autobiography is greatly en- hanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race and training—in short, a book about yogis by a yogi. As an eye- witness recountal of the extraordinary lives and powers of modern Hindu saints, the book has importance both timely and timeless. To its illustrious author, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing both in India and America, may every reader render due appreciation and gratitude. His unusual life-document is certainly one of the most revealing of the depths of the Hindu mind and heart, and of the spiritual wealth of India, ever to be published in the West.
