This video presents the life story of the great Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. Based on his book, The Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda's story unfolds, from his early life in India, through his spiritual training with his master Sri Yukteswar, to his mission in America. As foretold by a prophecy, Yogananda brought the spiritual teachings of his native land to the West. Archival film footage and photographs, including Yogananda's historic meeting with President Wilson at the White House, are presented. Diaries, personal recollections, excerpts from the book, and re-enactments complete the story of this spiritual emissary to the West.
