Autobiography of a Yogi - Paperback (via amazon.com)
by Paramahansa Yogananda. Long-standing best-selling book by Yogananda written so humbly about his life, his life lessons and experiences, spirituality, yoga, and so much more. Very inspirational and highly recommended. You'll also find that reading it again brings even more insight. As one of the reviewers at amazon.com states, “he reveals, ever more deeply, the underlying oneness of Christianity and yoga, of spiritual truth and scientific truth, of the worldly and the spirituality. It will deepen anyone's own faith and sensibility — of whatever religion (or none), of the science of matter... or mind... or Spirit.” Via amazon.com.

by Paramahansa Yogananda (Translator). An amazing 2-volume set, translated, commentary by Paramahansa Yogananda.

In this eye-opening translation and commentary, Yogananda unveils for the first time the deeper meaning hidden within its symbology.” Each of the 700 verses is shown in both Sanskrit and English, and followed by commentary and expansion that integrates your study of the Gita with the entire spiritual science of Raja (meditative) Yoga. Highly recommended. - India Unveiled (Web Site for the Book)

By Paramahansa Yogananda. A small, pocket-sized book with an uplifting, wise, spiritual daily devotional to read each day.- New Visions Bookshelf: Yogananda Book List
Dozens of reviews on books by or about Paramahansa Yogananda. Very helpful. Direct links for purchase at Amazon.com. - The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You - 2 Volume Set (via amazon.com)
By Paramahansa Yogananda. Published September 2004. In this unprecedented masterwork of inspiration, Paramahansa Yogananda takes the reader on a profoundly enriching journey through the four Gospels. Verse by verse, he illumines the universal path to oneness with God taught by Jesus to his immediate disciples but obscured through centuries of misinterpretation: "how to become like Christ, how to resurrect the Eternal Christ within one's self." As Yogananda himself states,“In titling this work 'The Second Coming of Christ,' I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth. He came two thousand years ago and, after imparting a universal path to God's kingdom, was crucified and resurrected; his reappearance to the masses now is not necessary for the fulfillment of his teachings. What is necessary is for the cosmic wisdom and divine perception of Jesus to speak again through each one's own experience and understanding of the infinite Christ Consciousness that was incarnate in Jesus. That will be his true Second Coming.”
