Paramahansa Yogananda and the Science of Kriya Yoga
Paramahansa Yogananda came to the United States in 1920, and was the first great spiritual master of India to live and teach in the West for an extended period of time - more than thirty years. His life story book Autobiography of a Yogi, is an absorbing account of a singular search for Truth, skillfully interwoven with scientific explanations of the subtle but definite laws by which yogis perform miracles and attain self-mastery. Describing in vivid detail his many years of training under Swami Sri Yukteswar, a Christlike master, the author revealed a fascinating and little-known aspect of modern India. In colorful, warmly human chapters Paramahansa Yogananda also recounts his visits with exceptional spiritual personages of East and West, including Mahatma Gandhi; Luther Burbank; Therese Neumann, the Catholic stigmatist; and Rabindanath Tagore.
