Considered by many as the father of yoga in the West and the 20th century’s first superstar guru, Yogananda’s works remain one of the most important gateways to Indian wisdom available. His
most influential work, Autobiography of a Yogi, serves both as an autobiography and an introduction to his teachings. From a young age, Yogananda demonstrated incredible, supernatural talents. He would later come under the tutelage of the famed yogi Sri Yukteswar. After his training, Yogananda felt the call to become a voice of Hinduism to Western nations. While the West was rich in scientific knowledge, it lacked something vital that India could provide: spiritual wisdom. Through his repeated voyages to the United States, Yogananda’s fame rapidly increased, and along with it, the promise of peace offered by the practice of Kriya Yoga.
