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 Yogananda'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 Yogananda first presented it.

Publishers Notes, from Crystal Clarity Publishers, gives information about this edition of the
Autobiography of a Yogi, along with frequently asked questions about this great book.
How is Ananda able to publish the Online Autobiography of a Yogi? See
article on Self-Realization Fellowship*
lawsuits against Ananda.
*CBPP Note: This should mean the ability to Publish, though I have yet to ask either body if I may.
The Court ruled that Self-Realization Fellowship did not own the copyrights for certain books Yogananda
published before his passing. Based on this decision, Ananda was able to publish the first edition of
Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi.
Ananda was founded in 1968 by Swami Kriyananda
(J. Donald Walters), a direct disciple of Yogananda, and is dedicated to sharing the
teachings of Yogananda worldwide.
