Autobiography of a Yogi

I'd been reading this book for last 10 days . A must read for those spiritually inclined. Paramhansa Yogananda the writer has written in this autobiography the lives of his Predecessors Sri Yukteshwar and Sri Lahiri Mahasaya. the Metaphysical experiences of various people in the book sound sheer magical and sound near impossible to happen.

Apart from Sprituality This book is sort of advertisement of a Meditation/Yoga Technique called the "Kriya Yoga" taught to the predecessors of Paramhansa by Deathless Yogi "Babaji". The description of Still alive Babaji,the incidents associated sound too magical to be true. And all in all I got a serious impression that this book has been heavily edited by people who took over after the Samadhi of Yogananda,so as to propagate the "Self Realisation Meditation of Kriya"

Upon researching the Internet I came across multiple groups claiming to be authentic exponents of kriya and rightful disciples of Babaji.

As I written above its a good read for the spiritually and the inquisitive minds alike
