PREFACE

By W. Y. EVANS-WENTZ, M.A., D.Litt., D.Sc.

Jesus College, Oxford; Author of

The Tibetan Book of the Dead,

Tibet's Great Yogi Milarepa,

Tibetan Yoga and Secret Doctrines, etc.

The value of Yogananda's Autobiography is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in

English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of

Doctrines . 1-1 It was at Puri, in Orissa, on the Bay of Bengal, that I encountered Sri Yukteswar. He was then

the head of a quiet ashrama near the seashore there, and was chiefly occupied in the spiritual training of a

group of youthful disciples. He expressed keen interest in the welfare of the people of the United States and

of all the Americas, and of England, too, and questioned me concerning the distant activities, particularly

those in California, of his chief disciple, Paramhansa Yogananda, whom he dearly loved, and whom he had

sent, in 1920, as his emissary to the West.

Sri Yukteswar was of gentle mien and voice, of pleasing presence, and worthy of the veneration which his
