Autobiography of a Yogi (Marathi) Author : Paramahansa Yogananda

Countless readers of his autobiography have attested to the presence in its pages of that same light of spiritual authority that radiated from his person. Hailed as a masterpiece when it first appeared in print, the book set forth not only the story of a life of unmistakable greatness but a fascinating introduction to the spiritual thought of the East - especially its unique science of direct personal communication with God - opening up to the Western public a realm of knowledge hitherto accessible only to a few.

With soul-satisfying wisdom and endearing wit, he illuminates the deepest secrets of life and the universe - opening our hearts and minds to the joy, beauty , and unlimited spiritual potentials that exist on the lives of every human being.
