Autobiography of a Yogi
Paramanhansa Yogananda
This book has become a spiritual classic. I have read it quite a few times and each time I reread it, I find something new. It is written on many levels, so as you grow and change on your path, you will be drawn to different passages in the book. This book will change your life, because it will change your consciousness. Everyone I have ever met who has read the Autobiography has said they were deeply affected and changed to some degree. Some people are changed on a deep level and some on a more superficial level. But if you read this book, you will be moved and changed.
This is the biography of Paramanhansa Yogananda who as a small boy always had a deep spiritual yearning and love for God. The book is filled with many stories of his meetings with miraculous yogis, spiritual adventures and insights. He finally meets his guru, Sri Yukteswar, enters his ashram and begins his monastic life. The experience of cosmic consciousness his guru bestows upon him is absolutely spellbinding. His descriptions of his encounters with India's illumined masters are uplifting and spiritually profound. Particularly mesmerizing is the description of his paramguru's (Sri Yukteswar's guru, Lahiri Mahasaya), spiritual awakening by the deathless Master Babaji in the Himalayas. Sprinkled throughout the book is Yogananda's deep love of meditation, his respect and observance of yogic principles and his love for mankind.
Yogananda emphasizes the unity between East and West, bringing yogic philosophy and meditation to the United States. He comes to the States, speaks to numerous standing only audiences across the country and establishes his organization, Self Realization Fellowship, in Los Angeles, California. Yogananda entered mahasamadi, a yogi's conscious final exit from the physical body, in March 1952.

The Second Coming of Christ
Paramahansa Yogananda
The full title of the book is The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You, A revelatory commentary on the original teachings of Jesus. This gives you an idea of the depth of the 2 volume set. The set consists of 75 Discourses where the reader is taken verse by verse through the Four Gospels. Yogananda discusses the hidden meaning of the gospels along with showing the similarity between the principles espoused by both Christ and Krishna; there are many references to the Bhagavad Gita. Yogananda felt it was part of his divine mission to "make manifest to the world the essence of 'original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ.'" (p.xix) Jesus was here to tell and show mankind that each one of us can experience the awakening of Divine Consciousness within each of our souls. This is the promised second coming of Christ.
In the introduction, Yogananda explains that the only way to have true understanding of Jesus' teachings is to go into the state of Christ Consciousness and directly perceive the true meaning of the teachings: "In these pages I offer to the world an intuitionally perceived spiritual interpretation of the words spoken by Jesus, truths received through actual communion with Christ Consciousness." (p.xxiii) He further adds, "…to the New Testament account of the Christ of Galilee I humbly add my own testimony. From personal experience I know the reality of his life and miracles, for I have seen him many, many times, and communed with him, and received his direct confirmation about these matters. He has come to me often as the baby Jesus and as the young Christ. I have seen him as he was before his crucifixion, his face very sad; and I have seen him in the glorious form in which he appeared after his resurrection." (p.xxvii)
I have to say that I have found this interpretation to be fascinating. For example, Yogananda's discussion of John the Baptist, Jesus as guru and disciple, and reincarnations of Elijah and Elisha are incredible. The verse describing Elisha's witnessing of Elijah's ascent to heaven in a chariot of fire and his taking up Elijah's mantle is explained. The spiritual mantle of Elijah (the guru) is passed onto Elisha, who asks for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. He receives this double portion when he reincarnates as Jesus. His guru, Elijah, reincarnated as John the Baptist, is there to assist his former disciple.
The missing years of Jesus' life from ages 13 to 28 are explored. The missing years were spent in Tibet and India, the 3 wise men were rishis (sages) from India and Jesus was repaying their visit. This 2 volume set is so rich with spiritual principle and inspiration, I could go on and on. But you need to read it for yourself. This can seem like a daunting task, but if you read about 5 pages a day, you'll be amazed at how much you absorb and how easily you progress into the book.
So, if you're up for a spiritual journey that will explain verses you've heard all your life, but never fully comprehended, this is the book for you. Or, if you're interested in expanding your wisdom and spiritual consciousness, this is the book for you. This book is beautifully written, with great reverence and divine love; you get a glimpse of what it is to be in the company of a great and divine personage, such as Jesus. I highly recommend the book, but pace yourself—it's a lot to read and a lot to absorb.

Paramahansa Yogananda: As I Knew Him
Roy Eugene Davis
Experiences, Observations, and Reflections of a Disciple
The author of this book, Roy Eugene Davis, had a very significant effect on my life. I met him in 1969 when I went to visit his late wife, Carolyn, in connection with a project on astrology in which I was involved. The astrology project never got very far off the ground, but when I met Roy my life was changed. He had a "presence" that was so strong and tangible that I wanted to know what it was and how I could achieve a similar state of being. Roy explained that he had been a discipline of Yogananda, and that his presence, or consciousness, had been developed by following the path of Kriya Yoga.
I attended Roy's lectures about the Bhagavad-Gita and read Autobiography of a Yogi. Roy initiated me into a form of Kriya, and my path as a seeker and meditator had commenced.
In this book Roy shares some intimate accounts of his relationship with his Guru, Yogananda. It is very personal and at the same time very universal.
Anyone who has read Autobiography of a Yogi, (and who hasn't?) will probably enjoy the views, reflections, and insights shared in this very intimate and pleasing book. I found it very enjoyable and uplifting, and I highly recommend it.
