Deluxe Edition of Autobiography of a Yogi Coming in October
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, and to celebrate it, Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF), the spiritual organization founded by Yogananda, will issue a deluxe edition of the book in October.
With several million copies in print and having been translated into more than 50 languages, Autobiography made HarperCollins’ list of “100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the 20th Century.”
Yogananda, who is widely recognized as playing a major, if not the primary role in introducing the science of yoga to the West, writes of his search for a guru, his 10 years of training with his master Sri Yukteswar, and his 30 years in America where he established SRF on a stretch of Los Angeles beach. He shares stories of many encounters with spiritual masters including Mahatma Gandhi and the Catholic stigmatic Therese Neumann.
Says Lauren Landress, SRF’s director of public affairs, “The book also provides clear, scientific explanation of the subtle but definite laws by which yogis perform miracles and attain self-mastery.”
According to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs, Jobs first read Autobiography as a teenager, and at some point forward, then read the book every year. Autobiography was given to everyone who attended Jobs’ memorial service.
Also, famously, the four gurus of kriya yoga, including Yogananda, are featured on the cover of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Paramahansa Yogananda

Star Child Nature School Now Enrolling for Fall Programs
Star Child Nature School, located at the YMCA of the Pines and the JCC Camps, both in Medford, provides fully outdoor nature-based education for children 2½ to 12 years old. The school’s main goal is it to embrace childhood and connect children to the natural world. They have preschool, kindergarten/first-grade, homeschool and afterschool programs available. Star Child Nature School is founded on the philosophy that children need the freedom of movement, exploration, discovery and play to grow and develop their physical body in order to build a strong foundation for emotional and cognitive learning to come. Allowing young children to learn in a predominantly outdoor environment fosters curiosity, compassion, creativity, confidence and a connection to the natural world.
Locations: YMCA of the Pines: 415 McKendimen Rd. (Visitors are asked to use this address because the school’s entrance is separate from the YMCA’s main entrance and cannot be accessed from Stokes Rd.); JCC Camps: 400 Tuckerton Rd.
