What makes autobiography of a yogi so great.

Adapted from an answer on Quora by Nabha Cosley • January 9, 2016

Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda talks about miracles, the yogic teachings, and the teachings of Jesus Christ in a modern way — a way that is easy to understand and even entertaining. For someone interested in spirituality, or even just alternate ways of looking at life, it’s incredibly illuminating.

The world is a different place than it would have been without this book. The New Age movement in the West, the impact the book has had on leaders in many fields, and the rise in the practice of yoga and meditation are due in large part to Yogananda’s influence and the influence of his autobiography.

Philip Goldberg wrote in American Veda that “Among the people I interviewed about their key spiritual influences, a high percentage named a book, and by far the book most often mentioned was Yogananda’s unique memoir. A distant second was Be Here Now by Ram Dass, and he mentioned the Autobiography .”

Sometimes people read it and have their life turned around entirely. It’s a book that, like other scripture, inspires life-long devotion.

Anyone who is interested should read it. It is a great book in every sense of the word.

“As a bright light shining in the midst of darkness, so was Yogananda’s presence in this world. Such a great soul comes on earth only rarely, when there is a real need among men.”

The Shankaracharya of Kanchipuram

“The greatest book I ever read.”

Swami Kriyananda

Vibhakar Lele

This book is on the life-story of a Siddha Yogi from Natha tradition. This is the first of the books by him - Vibhakar Lele, {Swami Yogeshwarananda}, a well-educated Yogi in his own right, published as ‘Autobiography of A Natha Siddha Yogi – Travails of A Mystique`’. It is on the subject of the author’s own extensive experiences in the field of Rajayoga, aka Kundalini-yoga, the most famous of the Yoga systems which is also called the Maha-yoga to highlight its outstanding character. It is a book of real-life experiences of an achieved Yogi. This book has been receiving most widespread response of the readers. There have been more than 3500 reads and around 2400 downloads in the past 6 years of the book. A number of enthusiastic readers have written to the author on reading it and expressed great satisfaction in its reading. Quite a few have been to his home to meet him personally. Hence, he published it as e-book for wider availability of this book that appears to be so much loved by the readers. Its print copy is already available on Pothi.com. ** Books by author Vibhakar Lele (Swami Yogeshwarananda) **** Books in English by author Vibhakar Lele aka Swami Yogeshwarananda in the Series: ‘Yoga Of Gita Expounded By Saint Shri Dnyaneshwar’: *** 1. Autobiography of A Natha Siddha Yogin [Travails Of A Mystique`] - 560 pages ₹700/- Available as Print copy on Pothi.com's store at https://pothi.com/pothi/book/vibhakar-vitthal-lele-autobiography-natha-siddha-yogi ** ii. As e-book on Pothi.com as ebook7466 at Rs. 250/- **** This is the story of the Yogi from the states of a Sadhaka (Initiate) to that of the Siddha (Sainthood), told in earnest for those striving upon the Path and also for those who study and research into the oriental discipline of Yoga. It is secular. Everyone who is on the way to Godhood, even if on the first leg of the journey, will learn a lot from this book, irrespective of his religion. It will help one to understand what the saints of every religion had experienced from their initiation to the ultimate state. It is the Oriental Wisdom in its truest form and practical demonstration. Its basis is the secret knowledge that the Indian Yogis hold close to their hearts. The scholars of the oriental disciplines will also learn a lot from it. It explains many a phenomenon of Yoga with actual experiences and their explanation, including those of the mysterious Kundalini. It is a must read for all interested in the mysteries of Yoga and Kundalini which the Siddha Yogis rarely reveal to all. The author is from the tradition of the Siddha Yogis from the Natha sect lineage of Saint Dnyaneshwar. He has revealed in this book many secrets of Yoga with experiences on the Path to which he has been privy. His book is useful also to the Shaktipata and other Kriya-yoga followers and also those who lack adequate guidance form their Gurus/peers. Secondly, it contains an important section on the Yoga and the philosophy of Gita as expounded by the great Maharashtrian Saint Dnyaneshwar. It contains an overall review for the beginners from the Yogic perspective and an all-too-important commentary on the mysterious Kundalini. Science has never explained fully the real basis of life as we know it. Overall, it will satisfy all the craving for the mysterious and the unknown that is never even scraped by the modern science. It also gives an understanding of the riddle of the Universe and Life which stands alternatively explained in most cogent terms by the Yogis and Indian philosophers. The readers may please have a look into the book and decide its value for themselves. It is a book worth keeping and preserving for a lifetime and to be passed down the generations for real wisdom of ‘Who We Are’ and ‘How We achieve the Kingdom that belongs to us’: The Nirvana, the Moksha, the Salvation or whatever one prefers to call it, ‘the Heavens’ and ‘the Godhood’ et al. You, too, like so many others before you, will find this book vastly entertaining and opening the vista upon a secret dimension that is life of a human being upon this planet. Those who are curious about Yogic experiences will have their curiosity fully satisfied. Others who are having such experiences themselves will, no doubt, be happy to find clues and explanation to their mysterious experiences. The author would be happy if it be so. *** 2.
