Autobiography of a Yogi

Yogananda tells what’s ‘self realization’ with comical writing. hope it’ll reach the world today.

長年愛読してきた「あるヨギの自叙伝」。 これが原本です。 スティーブ・ジョブズ、ジョージ・ハリスンも絶賛した。 薄いですが、とても読みやすい。 感激しました。

これ以上の名著は現存しないのではないでしょうか。 道を求める人や悩み苦しむ人の必読の書であり救いの書です。

海外からの発送で、時間はかかりましたが、無事受け取りました。 本の内容も期待通りでした。

Condition of the book is great / good. The actual book contents is just pompous - over inflated infatuation of "sucking up" to the West / Americas - as if Indian rituals need to be acknoweldged or approved by the West. Just sounds like over inflated egos of being in America, and the style of writing / narrative is overly pompous, with little to no actual self refelction of how does one survive in a capatilistic world. I can meditate as I as want but its still not going to protect me from the elements of homelessness. Steve Jobs really thought that this was going to heal him. Maybe it helped him to let go but the fact he decided against medical intervention because of this book makes me think Steve Jobs was greatly mislead. This book only serves those who are already financially well off and want to pass time by entertaining new thoughts without exercising responsibilities and reflection of what is actually happening in the daily maya.

Great buy

Best book of all time. It's my second time reading this book and I hope to gain more insights than the first time.

Truly if there was one such list like they have for best Music Albums, Places, Movies etc., this book would be in the Top 10 best books on Spirituality. It is already the largest selling Spiritual Autobiography in the world and why not. I read this book first in 1997 and till I completely read "The Gospel of Ramakrishna" this was my No.1 spiritual book of all time. This Edition has one very important chapter that is missing in the same from Ananda that you can even read for free online. This book was read by several prominent people. Steve Jobs read this book once every year. This book was given as a parting gift to all who attended his funeral ceremony. George Harrison of The Beatles promoted this book and the four prominent Gurus beginning with Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Yuktheshwar and Paramahansa Yogananda, the author are pictured on the cover of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album by The Beatles. Gene Rodenberry of Stratrek fame also used the word "Engergize" from the energizing exercises of the author that forms a core part of the steps towards initiation into Kriya Yoga. This book also answers the most common questions regarding "life after death" and the purpose of life. If you like miracles and wonderful things that science is incapable of explaining then this is the book to read. Even atheists will love this book in the way it connects life in living creatures and inanimate objects. The glory of India lies in Her Spiritual wealth and till about the 15'th century even materially India was the richest country in the world but it is Her spiritual wealth that makes India truly the cradle of human civilization. When all other civilizations of the ancient world (Egyptian, Babylonian, Greek, Persian) all vanished it was the Vedic culture that persisted till this very day. Christianity and Islam are touched upon in this book with more writings on the former. The link with Jesus is also a beautiful thing in this book, one that re-instated my faith in Jesus. As the title says, don't be without reading this incredible book. For many it has been life-changing.

Badate bene che a me è arrivato il libro ma non il CD!
