    Paramahansa Yogananda

    Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) es mundialmente reconocido como una de las personalidades espirituales más ilustres de nuestro tiempo. Nació en el norte de la India, y en 1920 se radicó en Estados Unidos, donde enseñó, durante más de treinta años, la antigua filosofía y la ciencia de la meditación yoga, originarias de la India, así como el arte de vivir en forma equilibrada la vida espiritual. Fue el primer gran maestro del Yoga que vivió y enseñó durante un prolongado periodo en Occidente. Él viajó extensamente impartiendo conferencias en Estados Unidos y en el extranjero, disertando en auditorios de las más importantes ciudades, que registraban siempre un lleno total, y en los cuales revelaba la unidad fundamental que existe entre las grandes religiones del mundo. A través de la célebre historia de su vida, Autobiografía de un yogui, y de sus originales comentarios sobre las escrituras de Oriente y Occidente, así como por medio del resto de sus numerosos libros, él ha inspirado a millones de lectores. Self-Realization Fellowship —la organización internacional que Paramahansa Yogananda fundó en 1920 con el fin de diseminar sus enseñanzas en todo el mundo— continúa llevando a cabo su obra espiritual y humanitaria.

      Very interesting and uplifting book. I loved getting a peek into the past and the journey of a yogi. I was a bit sad about how some of the names and words were pronounced.

      The book is amazing but I am surprised they could not find a reader who is able to pronounce proper Indian nouns. Listening to incorrect pronunciations is annoying and difficult to understand along the way

      One of the best books I have ever listened to. Each time you listen you learn something new. Great narration
    • 5/5
      This is a religious and spiritual work written by a brilliant soul that evolved in the Hindu context. Read it with that in mind and seek out Kriya.
