The Autobiography of a Yogi was first published in 1946.
Rarely does a sage write a firsthand account of his life experiences. Childhood revelations, his visits to saints and masters of India, the years of training he received in the ashram of his guru, and teachings of Self-Realization are all made available to the reader. It is full of gentle humor, lively stories, and practical common sense.

from Philosophical Library and has been the publisher of all subsequent editions.
The first edition is in the public domain.

Editors made changes numbering in the hundreds after Yogananda's passing.
