Praise for Paramahansa Yogananda:

"The 20th century's first superstar guru." —The Los Angeles Times

"Everyone who meditates, goes to yoga classes or has, in any way, benefitted from India's great spiritual heritage, owes a debt of gratitude to Yogananda. . . . His success can be attributed to several factors, in addition to his seminal autobiography: his long tenure in this country, his personal charisma, his results-driven package of offerings, and his appeal to both secular and religious students." —Philip Goldberg, HuffPost

"If you practica yoga, thank this man. . . . Yogananda's influence can still be felt on popular culture—his face and the faces of his three gurus appear on the cover of the Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album—and on contemporary thought; Apple founder Steve Jobs requested that everyone who attended his memorial service be given a copy of Autobiography of a Yogi.” —The Detroit News
