Authorized Biography of a Yogi
Many great books have been written about the ancient art of Yoga and thousands of people practice it. Still, to find and meer a contemporary realized vogi in a permanent state of Samadhi is almost an impossible task. In 1861 Mahavarar Babaji initiated Lahiri Mahasaya in the secret art of Kriva yoga, and Paramahansa Yogananda popu- larized this teaching around the globe. The readers familiar with Yogananda's best- seller The Autobiography of a Yogis, first published 77 years ago, will be interested to learn how Kriya yoga continues to transform the seeker's minds and hearts in the 21st century.

Truly extraordinary life story reveals Indian yogi's views on Creation, Time, Void, Eternal Sound, Alchemy of yoga and the path to self-realization and immortality. Perhaps, for the first time in history the detailed description of Samadhi is given without idealization so widespread in modern esoteric literature. The portrait of a modern Guru would be incomplete without his unique outlook on the future of humanity - and it too will shift the reader's perception of common postulates and mundane reality.
