(With a preface by W. Y. Evans-Wentz) Autobiography of a Yogi introduces the reader to the life of Paramhansa Yogananda and his encounters with spiritual figures of both the East and West. The book begins with his childhood family life, to finding his guru, to becoming a monk and establishing his teachings of Kriya Yoga meditation. The book continues in 1920 when Yogananda accepts an invitation to speak in a religious congress in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He then travels across America lecturing and establishing his teachings in Los Angeles, California. In 1935 he returns to India for a yearlong visit. When he returns to America, he continues to establish his teachings, including writing this book. Considered a classic in its field since it was first published in 1946, Autobiography of a Yogi continues to attract countless readers seeking authoritative insight into metaphysical truths.

To bridge the gap between Eastern wisdom and Western mind-set, the Yogic Master Yogananda started a magazine called East-West in the 1920s in which he poured forth his inspirational writings. This volume contains some of the articles originally published between 1925 to 1930 as they appeared in the magazine. These articles continue to have relevance to spiritual seekers today. A few of the articles are concerning events of almost 90 years ago, but the messages are timeless. This is the third volume in the collection of Paramhansa Yogananda's unedited, original works. The first two are "Essence of Kriya Yoga" and "Practical Meditations."The author is one of the most influential figures to bring Eastern wisdom to the West and continue to have a large following at the present time.

Most people would want to meditate if they understood how to do so. The purpose of meditation is to know God, to convert the little joy of the soul with the vast joy of the spirit. In this volume of the collected works of the spiritual Master Paramhansa Yogananda are three complete works in which he has explained and given lessons on the practical aspects of meditation, as well as given actual meditations which are of practical help to everyone. The three works are: Metaphysical Meditations, Whispers from Eternity, and Super Advanced Course 1. Yogananda was one of the first Masters from India to stay and teach in the United States. He taught extensively and traveled throughout the country from 1920 when he arrived until his passing in 1952. His influence is still strong among all sincere spiritual seekers because of his masterpiece, The Autobiography of a Yogi. In this volume, the spiritual dynamo Yogananda has given the keys to happiness and bliss in this life.
