Summary "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda is a spiritual memoir written in the mid-20th century. This influential work recounts Yogananda's journey towards self-realization, offering insights into the philosophy and practice of yoga, the dynamics of the guru-disciple relationship, and the lives of various spiritual figures in India. At the start of this memoir, Yogananda reflects on his early life and family, detailing his experiences growing up in a spiritually oriented Bengali household. He shares poignant memories of his parents, especially his mother, and discusses their devotion to spiritual practice, particularly the effects of their relationship with the renowned yogi, Lahiri Mahasaya. The opening chapters also introduce themes of spiritual awakening, the significance of divine experiences, and Yogananda's desire to understand higher states of consciousness, setting the stage for his later encounters with various saints and significant figures in his quest for enlightenment.
