by Paramhansa Yogananda Original First Edition, Copyright 1946, First Online Edition
Ananda was founded by Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda. Kriyananda was inspired by his guru to start 'World Brotherhood Colonies'. Ananda, and its sister colonies throughout the world, are the fulfillment of Yogananda's dream. See Chapter 48, in this 1946 edition, to read Yogananda's own words on World Brotherhood Colonies. Autobiography of a Yogi is not an ordinary book. It is a spiritual treasure. To read its message of hope to all truthseekers is to begin a great adventure. This is a verbatim reproduction of the original 1946 edition, complete with the original photos, many of them not seen since earlier editions. Although subsequent printings, reflecting revisions made after the author's death in 1952, have sold over a million copies and have been translated into more than 19 languages, the few thousand of the original have long since disappeared into the hands of collectors. Now, with this online version, the 1946 edition is widely available, with all its inherent power, just as the great master of yoga first presented it.
