About this title

Review:

This book has to be on the wish list of anyone who wants to understand spiritual discourses without getting overwhelmed with language and concepts, as i have read in some other books on spirituality. The book is written in everyday language and some of the concepts are explained with such simplicity that it leaves one awe-struck. The book beautifully makes us question ourselves about whether the goals we pursue in life are actually worthwhile goals. 'Autobiography of a Yogi' was the first book i read from this author and it continues to be a favourite of mine, i however felt that some stories in Autobiography might be difficult to believe for some. 'The Divine Romance' on the other hand is an easier book to understand and believe. P.S.: Autobiography of Yogi continues to be a big favourite for me, for handing it to friends/acquaintances who want to learn about spirituality. --By Darpan on 30 December 2013, on Amazon India

About the Author:

Paramahansa Yogananda was born Mukunda Lal Ghosh on January 5, 1893, in Gorakhpur, India, into a devout and well-to-do Bengali family. From his earliest years, it was evident to those around him that the depth of his awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary. Both his parents were disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya, the renowned master who was instrumental in reintroducing Kriya Yoga in modern India. When Yogananda was an infant in his mother s arms, Lahiri Mahasaya blessed him and foretold: Little mother, thy son will be a yogi. As a spiritual engine, he will carry many souls to God's kingdom. At their very first meeting, and on many occasions thereafter, Sri Yukteswar told the young disciple that he had been chosen as the one to disseminate the ancient science of Kriya Yoga in America and worldwide.fter graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Mukunda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order, at which time he received the name Yogananda (signifying bliss, ananda, through divine union, yoga). His ardent desire to consecrate his life to the love and service of God thus found fulfillment.
