Publisher's Synopsis
"You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult." -Paramahansa Yoganand This beautifully written book is the autobiography of India's renowned yogi, Paramahansa Yogananad. Exceptionally portraying the times and life of Paramhansa Yoganand, the book renders a profound overview of the ancient science of Yoga. Overpoweringly inspiring, this autobiography will take you on a marvelous journey right from his childhood to youth where he encountered with many saints and sages; through ten years of training in the hermitage of a revered yoga master, the thirty years that he lived and taught in America and also his meetings with celebrated personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Luther Burbank, Therese Neumann etc. Distinctly, the book will assist you in your spiritual growth to live a delightful life with an awakened Self. "...a wisdom so deep that one feels spellbound, permanently moved." -Haagsche Post, Holland "I am grateful to you for granting me some insight into this fascinating world." -Thomas Mann, Nobel laureate
