About this title

About the Author:

Mukunda Lal Ghosh, better known as Paramahansa Yogananda, was an Indian guru and Yogi who was known for his book on meditation and Kriya Yoga, Autobiography of a Yogi.

Review:

This small book offers the clue to the universe. Its value is beyond estimation in words....The essential point to be remarked about Paramahansa Yogananda's teaching, in contradistinction to that of European philosophers, such as Bergson, Hegel, and others, is that it is not speculative, but practical, even when dealing with the utmost reaches of metaphysics. - --From the preface by Douglas Grant Duff Ainslie, British statesman and philosopher
