It has since been translated into 25 languages, and the various editions published since its inception have sold over a million copies worldwide. The book describes Yogananda's search for a guru, and his encounters with leading spiritual figures such as Therese Neumann, the Hindu saint Sri Anandamoyi Ma, Mohandas Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Sir C. V. Raman, and noted American plant scientist Luther Burbank, to whom it is dedicated. Amelita Galli-Curci, one of the most famous opera singers of the early twentieth century, said about the book: Amazing, true stories of saints and masters of India, blended with priceless superphysical information-much needed to balance the Western material efficiency with Eastern spiritual efficiency-come from the vigorous pen of Paramhansa Yogananda, whose teachings my husband and myself have had the pleasure of studying for twenty years.

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.

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.
