Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda
It’s an amazing book and a very good read. Although it comes in a category of Spiritual book but nowhere does it talks about philosophy or force some knowledge on reader. Since it is a life story about Swamiji it’s interesting to read it.
It’s a story of Yoganandaji and how from early childhood he was spiritual and how his father made him study. The book narrates about his experiences in meeting real life Saints, Gurus and miracles. It also mentions about a special person “Babaji” who is a great inspiration for Yoganandaji and his guru.
At the same time it tries to explain scientifically on how ancient Indians could do such amazing stuff which today’s scientists are trying to innovate or I would say re-discover.
My wife gifted me this book a year back. Initially I wasn’t sure if I could read this book. It took me some time to get used to reading as I found it little heavy for my small brain.
I started my reading habit by reading biographies and autobiographies and that may be a reason that I could read this book and enjoyed it too.
My personal rating 5/5
