Paramahansa Yogananda

6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

Autobiography of a Yogi

IDEA 1
Seek a teacher, test the teaching
Yogananda's search led him to his guru, Sri Yukteswar, who insisted on discipline and clear thinking over blind belief. A good teacher sharpens your reason.
IDEA 2
Meditation is a science
Yogananda presents meditation as a practical method you can test in your own experience, not a matter of faith. Results come with regular practice.
IDEA 3
East and West can meet
He brought Indian meditation to America and believed the practical energy of the West and the inner wisdom of India could learn from each other.
