Description:

Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi was one of the most impactful spiritual books of the 20th century and has travelled around the world, inspiring millions to walk the spiritual path. But what are 21st-century spiritual aspirants, steeped in technology and science, to think of these classic tales of gurus, swamis, and miracles in the Himalayas? Do these tales have relevance today?

 

In Wisdom of a Yogi, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist Rizwan Virk brings out the lessons from Yogananda's classic and reinterprets them for the modern age. In 14 unforgettable lessons, interweaving stories from the autobiography with tales of college professors, students, entrepreneurs, and modern seekers, Virk brings the ancient lessons of karma, yoga, meditation, and siddhas into the modern age of YouTube, video games, mobile phones, and social media.

 

Whether you have never read or listened to the autobiography, or have experienced it multiple times, Wisdom of a Yogi will help enhance your spiritual practice in today's increasingly complex, cluttered, and connected world.
