Talk:Autobiography of a Yogi

[edit] Discussing Changes 11/10-18

Let's discuss change as we make them. Here are the reasons why I made the 11/10-18 edits:

Changed "introducing Vedic philosophy to the West" to the more accurate "introducing the ancient science of yoga and meditation to the West". Yogananda was much more a yogi than a vedantin. His book, as the title makes clear, is more about Yoga than Vedanta
Changed '200 colleges and universities' to 'numerous colleges and universities'. Many of these statements need citations. See WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY. While the statement still could use verification, the more specific number begs for a reference
Added specifics about the 100 greatest spiritual books and a reference.
Moved wikisource online book link to top of article: some people think that by coming to this article they are coming to the actual book. Others should also see it at the top (rather than at the bottom of an extremely long article), so they can read the book for themselves, rather than just seeing a book review or synopsis.
Moved photo of Yogananda down to the first section, where the article starts talking more about Yogananda, rather than about the book.
Added testimonial from Galli-Curci, a famous and notable person
Added numerous photos from the book itself
Cleaned up quotes
Formatted quotes according to proper Wiki formatting, see WP:MOS
Re-ordered and combined part of several sections that each talked about Sri Yukteswar, and put them into a separate section, The guru-disciple relationship, that gives proper emphasis to the most important relationship and person in the entire book.

Let's discuss further changes as we make them, please. ॐ Priyanath 20:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
