Autobiography of a Yogi is an autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda which was first published in 1946. The book is an introduction to the methods of attaining God-realization and it showcases the life of Paramahansa Yogananda and his encounters with spiritual figures of both the East and West.

India are set to play four Tests against Australia, starting on February 23 and Kohli will be keen to continue his great run. In the last series the Indian skipper played Down Under, he smashed 692 runs at an average of 86.5 with four centuries.
