I was looking for material by Yogananda, not this guy who *claims* to speak for Yogananda. (Do a search for 'Ananda Uncovered' to see some very interesting info, including several legal documents regarding the 'Swami'). I wish I had realized that when I first bought some of his audios - I never would have purchased them if I knew then what I know now. The New Path provides a marvelous sequel to Paramhansa Yoganandas own Autobiography of a Yogi, helping you to gain a more profound understanding of this great world teacher. He has a lot of books that have 'by Yogananda' in the title, but they are NOT by Yogananda at all - he is just writing in Yogananda's name, claiming that Yogananda told him 'Write that down! I've never said that before!' and such. I am very disappointed with all of the audios I purchased by him. I couldn't take any more of his breathy/breathless fake-silky-sweet cooing. The New Path tells the story of a young Americans spiritual quest, his discovery of the powerful classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, and his subsequent meeting with-and acceptance as a disciple by-the books author, the great spiritual teacher.

Like the other reviewer, I finally had to give up. He loves to go on and on about himself, and throws in a lot of his opinions on everything, with no references to Yogananda the whole part I listened to. In the first few minutes of this book, Kriyananda talks about how he was going to talk about Yogananda, and how this book could really be seen as a 'continuation' to 'Autobiography of a Yogi' (I couldn't believe the ego! For him to place his work in the same category as Yogananda's is so laughable it's beyond ridiculous!) Then he goes on spending the next few hours talking only about himself, down to the smallest details of his childhood - incredibly boring to listen to, and I doubt anyone cares about his little imaginings unless they are one of his followers. Awful! Grandiose, loves to listen to himself talk
