Everyone interested in yoga should read this book.: I bought this book to share. I already have a ragged copy, and wanted one in good condition for my library. Paramahansa's life story provides an intimate look into India's culture, and spiritual and mystical roots. An historic read, it contains an enormous amount of information and inspiration.
The Original, more material, more photos.: This is the first edition with more material and more photographs than the current edition. It is in original and unedited form. If you have enjoyed the current edition of Autobiography of a Yogi, then treat yourself to this even more comprehensive version. A truly magical book which will inspire and awe even the most cynical person.
Excellent! Thank you seller!: It was a gift sent to someone else. They received it, and that's all I know. Thank you!
A one-of-a-kind tome: Autobiography of a Yogi is one of the most fascinating books i have ever read. I have been reading it every couple of months for a few years now and i still find something new every time. It reads like a thriller novel than an autobiography. Each chapter is absolutely riveting. Among my favorites are the chapters on his childhood, the kite incident, meeting Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank and Anandamoyi Ma, interactions with his guru, early years of monkhood and Yukteshwar Giri's discourse on the astral planes. I believe there is something in this book for all ages. Children would be thrilled with the perfume saint, the levitating saint and the tiger swami. An excellent introduction to eastern mysticism, Indian saints, yoga, renunciation and nirvana for adults and children alike.
Changed my life: I can honestly say this book changed my life. A previous book, There is a River by Thomas Sugrue, changed my thinking but this one changed my behavior and my life completely. It is a must read for anyone who wants to move past theory and into the practice of a spiritual life.
