Sharing my experience of reading the book,
Autobiography of a Yogi-Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
With simple language, flowing from heart of Yogi , it makes a wonderful reading, takes us to different spiritual world. Renaissance of Yoga in modern times and popularized world-over.
It reads, The great Yogi Lahiri Mahasaya brought a practical message suited to the needs of today's world. The excellent economic and religious conditions of ancient India no longer obtain. The great master therefore did not encourage the old ideal of a yogi as a wandering ascetic with a begging bowl. He stressed, rather, the advantages to a yogi of earning his own living, of not being dependent on a hard-pressed society for support, and of practicing yoga in the privacy of his home. To this counsel Lahiri Mahasaya added the heartening force of his own example. He was a ‘streamlined’ model of a yogi. His way of life, as planned by Babaji, was intended to be a guide for aspiring yogis in all parts of the world.”
It further says Through use of the Kriya key, persons who cannot bring themselves to believe in the divinity of any man will behold at last the full divinity of their own selves.
The references and readings on Mahavatar Sri Yogi Babaji, Jnanavatar Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, Yogavatar Sri Yukteswar gives ultimate holy experience. It is indeed takes us through the world of many saints, yogis, meetings with scientists, great personalities like Tagore, Mahathma and many more.Most of them came forward and learnt the Kriya Yoga . It is also made to understand that we can learn and practice in the midst of leading normal worldly living. The book is Timeless, can be a resourceful in any century to come. Ultimate message is God is Love.
Strongly recommend this book to be a must in every house for reading and rereading anytime.
