This, our first episode dedicated to the Autobiography of a Yogi proper covers essential background material relevant to both the time-tested devotee and new reader alike. We discuss the background to the title of the book, the different editions of the book as well as the Self-Realization Fellowship logo — as expertly designed by our beloved guru Paramahansa Yogananda (or is it Paramhansa [sic] Yogananda?). We also discuss that famous picture: The Standard Pose, its origins, evolution and impact on devotees far and near.
