Wisdom; Knowledge; Humbling.

It didn't take long to accustom the the dialect of the narrator, then I really found his voice soothing and heart opening to listen to.
As for the book, its starts off slow, but it is worth hanging in. The second half of the book is a treasure of experiences and learning. Overall it is an amazing story. Really gives us "mere mortals" a perspective of where we are on the journey to enlightenment, and the potential that lays within all of us. Inspiring! It would appeal to a person serious about their spiritual development. It expanded my mind well beyond what it was before listening this truly amazing autobiography.

The best and most beautifully rendered version!!!

What does Swami Kriyananda bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Swami Kriyananda gave the story a very authentic voice. Compared to other audiobook versions of Autobiography of a Yogi, this one sounds the most beautiful and most powerful. Most of the time I was fooled into blissfully believing that it was really Yogananda speaking. Again, it sounded very authentic and even sacred. I would highly recommend picking this version over the others!

Steve Swamiji Kriyananda brings Yogananda‘s autobiography a live through his experience and attunement with Yogananda

Swamiji Kriyananda brings Yogananda‘s autobiography a live through his experience and attunement with Yogananda. His voice filled with devotion and rich in spiritual realization. Brings this story Yogananda’s life experience growing up looking for his teacher. The struggle for spiritual perfection (though he was already a Master) as Yogananda only came to show how deep love for God is needed to realize Thou art that! It is all our destiny. The story of Yogananda’s devotee’s makes its way in here and there Giving insight to spiritual living.

Great book!

Very spiritually uplifting book, full of precious and sacred accounts of great saints of India. Very entertaining , very simple to read and left me with an increased sense of devotion towards my own spiritual life and Guru.
I also love that the narrator is a spiritually oriented person, meditator and especially spent time with the author himself and follows his teachings, that makes for a more sincere and enjoyable read from the narrator.
Also, a plus of the audiobook vs book is that i can be in deep meditation while listening, which enhances powerfully the experience , and makes me feel like I am really there, Sri Yukteshwar s explanations of the higher worlds just blew me away!

Thank you for this book!

Kriyananda Reads As If Yogananda Guided Him

Swami Kriyananda's reading of this spiritual classic by Paramhansa Yogananda exemplifies the continuation of the great master's message of Self-Realization to the world. It was like Yogananda himself was reading this holy scripture. I was touched deeply by Kriyananda's vocal clarity, diction, and the pronunciation of the Sanskrit, Hindi and Benagali words. I was thrilled from start to finish to listen to Kriyananda's reading of this timeless Autobiography of a Yogi!
