Paramahansa Yogananda was the first great master of India to live in the West for an extended period. Sent by his guru to America in 1920, he was to introduce tens of thousands of students to the science of yoga and the subtle mysteries of reality. Since its first publication in 1950, `Autobiography of a Yogi' has become an undisputed classic in its field. Paramahansa Yogananda's story is interwoven with reflections on the religious and scientific foundations of both Eastern and Western culture, and with descriptions of his meetings with such spiritual leaders as Mahatma Gandhi, Babaji, Therese Neumann and Rabindranath Tagore. In his introduction to the book, W. Y. Evans Wentz says: `His life document is 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.' 602pp, 117mm x 190mm, illus. in b&w, softback, 2007 (originally published 1950)
