Among the great spiritual figures of India he is Paramahansa Yogananda,
first Indian monk to come for the occident
with the intention of diffusing the
oriental philosophy; more specifically Kriya Yoga. In his book, Autobiography of a Yogi, that is being record in sale around the world during decades, he tells his adventures in search of his Guru,
and later the mission for him accomplished by order of his Master. Among them we found his fruitless attempt of escape to Himalaya to find the
Master, the visit to great saints as Sri Lanka Ramakrishna, Ramana
Maharishi and his life after the arrival to North America. Approaching spirituality with a technical and scientific character, this book is of great inspiration for all
searching, independent of their religion, Autobiography of a Yogi is a spring
of example of willpower for who aspirates the final goal: the self-
realization. Edited in several languages, Autobiography of a Yogi has been taking thousands of people to seek the Self-Realization
Fellowship (institution founded by own Yogananda) to know a little more of the
work and teachings of that who was called the Premavatar, or Incarnation of Love. The Autobiography of a Yogi received such concept in the academic middle that is used until the today in several universities on the globe in the most several branches: as an example in the field of the administration, of theology, of marketing and
etc. Acording with Yogananda the humanity can be saved through the individual and collective practice of the meditation with Kriya Yoga, that is entitled by the Great
oriental Masters as the end of the road, and it finishes its
technique of Raja Yoga or Royal Yoga. Far away from teaching a new religion Paramahansa Yogananda has the concern of rescuing the maximum purity of the
original Christianity taught in the
Bible by Jesus and of Yoga Original taught by Krishna in Bhagavad Gita.
