**Paramhansa Yogananda**, an Indian yogi and spiritual teacher, penned the **timeless classic**, **"Autobiography of a Yogi"**. This revered book, first published in 1946, has left an indelible mark on spiritual seekers worldwide. Let's delve into its essence:
1. **Life Journey**: Yogananda chronicles his life journey, beginning with his childhood and family. His early fascination with seeking God led him to his spiritual master, **Sri Yukteswar**, and eventually to monastic life¹.
2. *Kriya Yoga**: Yogananda's spiritual understanding deepened, and he founded the **Yogoda Satsanga Society of India* in 1917. His voyage to the United States in 1920 marked the establishment of the **Self-Realization Fellowship**. His mission: to share Indian spirituality with the West, primarily through teaching **Kriya Yoga**¹.
3. *Unity of All Things**: The book weaves together anecdotes from Yogananda's life and encounters with saints and gurus. These stories often feature seemingly supernatural events-miraculous healings, divine visions, and premonitions. Yogananda views these as evidence of the **essential unity* underlying all existence, transcending individual selves to encompass the entire universe¹.
*"Autobiography of a Yogi"* continues to inspire seekers, including luminaries like *Steve Jobs* and **George Harrison**. Its impact spans languages and generations, resonating with those on the quest for deeper truths¹.
