È stato il primo grande maestro dell’India a trasferirsi in Occidente. Nato nel 1893 a Gorakhpur, nel Bengala, da una famiglia benestante, a diciassette anni divenne discepolo di Swami Sri Yukteswar (a sua volta discepolo del grande guru Lahiri Mahasaya). Dopo essersi laureato presso l’Università di Calcutta nel 1915, entrò a far parte dell’ordine monastico del suo maestro, ricevendo il nome di Swami Yogananda. Nel 1920 giunse a Boston, in qualità di rappresentante per l’India al Congresso internazionale dei leader religiosi. Quello stesso anno, fondò l’associazione religiosa Self-Realizatition Fellowship, stabilita in seguito a Los Angeles nel 1925. Nel 1935 compì un lungo viaggio tra Europa e Africa, per fermarsi poi in India per oltre un anno, dove il suo maestro Sri Yukteswar gli conferì il titolo monastico di Paramahansa. Per più di trent’anni, con innumerevoli viaggi e conferenze, Yogananda espose al mondo occidentale gli insegnamenti dello Yoga attraverso i suoi scritti e i discorsi, pubblicatiti in tutto il mondo. Dando risalto ai principi eterni alla base di ogni religione, insegnò che l’essenza intima di ogni religione è la stessa: percorrere la via verso l’unione con l’Infinito. Morì il 7 marzo 1952, lasciando sia all’Oriente che all’Occidente un’immensa eredità morale e spirituale.

Autobiography of a Yogi is an autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda (January 5, 1893–March 7, 1952) first published in 1946. Paramahansa Yogananda (born Mukunda Lal Ghosh; January 5, 1893 – March 7, 1952) was an Indian monk, yogi and guru who lived his last 32 years in America. He introduced millions to the teachings of meditation and Kriya Yoga through his organization Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) / Yogoda Satsanga Society (YSS) of India. A chief disciple of the Bengali yoga guru Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, he was sent by his lineage to spread the teachings of yoga to the West, to prove the unity between Eastern and Western religions and to preach a balance between Western material growth and Indian spirituality.His long-standing influence in the American yoga movement, and especially the yoga culture of Los Angeles, led him to be considered by yoga experts as the "Father of Yoga in the West."Yogananda was the first major Indian teacher to settle in America, and the first prominent Indian to be hosted in the White House (by President Calvin Coolidge in 1927); his early acclaim led to him being dubbed "the 20th century's first superstar guru," by the Los Angeles Times. Arriving in Boston in 1920, he embarked on a successful transcontinental speaking tour before settling in Los Angeles in 1925. For the next two and a half decades, he gained local fame as well as expanded his influence worldwide: he created a monastic order and trained disciples, went on teaching-tours, bought properties for his organization in various California locales, and initiated thousands into Kriya Yoga. By 1952, SRF had over 100 centers in both India and the US; today, they have groups in nearly every major American city.His "plain living and high thinking" principles attracted people from all backgrounds among his followers.Translated by W.
