Book Reviews of Autobiography of a Yogi
Book Review: Enjoyable Entertaining Enlightening Inspiring Motivating
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the VERY best books I have ever read. The first time I read it I was inspired and motivated, but the realities of life soon brought me to believe it must be a fairy tale. The second time I read it I got more out of it and still questioned could all of these miraculous events really have occurred? But by the third time I had read it I had many of my own miracles occur in my life and they came due to the wisdom contained in this book and others like it. I knew Yogananda was reporting truth and was very accurate in what he presented. We can come to have control over our own life experience, including our own deaths.

Book Review: A great book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. After I read this book, I felt less alone in a way that is hard to describe, and I hope you feel the same- it can help so much as we go through our lives one step at a time. Yogananda is a spiritual master and I feel that even some of his photographs convey great energy. Yogananda came to earth and then the west to bring a message of peace and love, and much like other spiritual teachers, mystical events surround him. You will only benefit from a personal relationship with his concepts.
Many may have doubts about the "supernatural" events. If you don't experience such events, it will only take one to help you understand, and I hope you have such an event in your life- it will be great!
Book Review: Well Done!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am of the Christian faith. This autobiography has made me aware of the great value of meditation which is not mentioned in my church. It is another dimension in worship beyond prayer of which I am glad to learn. English is a second language for Paramahansa Yogananda and I am impressed with his beautiful turn of words that are often poetic.

Since writing the previous paragraph, I have subscribed to the lessons on meditation offered by the Self-Realization Fellowship which was founded by Yogananda. I find no conflict with my Christian teachings; instead these lessons build more understanding about the God-Connection. Meditation is now incorporated into my daily prayer time.

Book Review: Inspiring and Instructive
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I read this book, I connected with only a few of the experiences it relates, and wondered about the others. Rereading it recently, I discovered that I had either experienced or witnessed *most* of the magical moments he relates. (I am currently recording that list of experiences at [...])
I have also been initiated into a parallel path of Kriya Yoga (Ipsalu Tantra, which stems from the same lineage). The lessons learned on that path and the knowledge gained while on it have led me to an inescapable conclusion: I am convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that every word Yogananda speaks in this book is absolute truth.
