“Read a little. Meditate more. Think of God all the time.”

“Be as simple as you can be; you will be astonished to see how uncomplicated and happy your life can become.” ― Paramahansa Yogananda

Welcome to this exploration of the life and teachings of Yogananda, one of the most influential spiritual figures of the modern age. A master of yoga and a bridge between Eastern and Western traditions, Yogananda dedicated his life to awakening humanity to the divine potential within.

Born in India in 1893, he spent his early years seeking the highest truths, guided by revered teachers who prepared him for his mission. In 1920, he traveled to the West, bringing the ancient science of Kriya Yoga—an advanced spiritual practice once reserved for only the most dedicated seekers. Through his teachings, he revealed the unity between the wisdom of the East and the scientific mindset of the West, demonstrating how self-realization is not confined to any one culture or belief system.

His book, Autobiography of a Yogi, has inspired millions, including some of the world’s most influential thinkers, artists, and leaders. More than just a story of his life, it serves as a roadmap for those on the path of inner awakening. His message—that lasting happiness and true fulfillment come from direct experience of the Divine—remains just as relevant today in a world seeking meaning beyond material success.

This audiobook, written and narrated by Emmy-nominated Sripada Jagannatha Das, explores Yogananda’s extraordinary life and includes a rare archival recording of the master himself. Listeners can hear his voice and feel the power of his presence. His wisdom continues to guide those searching for peace, purpose, and a deeper connection to their own divine nature.
