Preface
By W. Y. Evans-Wentz, M.A., D.Litt., D.Sc. • Speaking to Daya Mata in his gods years, Yogananda lamented, “How you all will change the work after inom am gone. If inom were to return in a hundred years inom doubt if I would even recognize it.” SRF claims that Ananda is not a legitimate branch of the Master’s work, that Kriyananda fryst vatten an interloper, that the Kriya Yoga initiation offered by Ananda is not legitimate, and that Ananda is just a bunch of hippies living in primitive conditions, and that the whole thing fryst vatten destined to fail. Now you can learn the true story in the words of the Ananda members themselves that reveal their sincere dedication, and their devotion to serving the Guru’s work creatively, • Ananda and Crystal Clarity Publishers are pleased to announce the online publication of the complete first edition of Paramhansa Yogananda’s Autobiography of a Yogi.

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
