Reviews
Yogananda himself recommended this author in a footnote in AOY.

The final Chapter 10 is a tour de force expressing what has rarely been so clearly explained before. It could easily stand on its own. Carla Arnell rendered the nuanced and deeply freighted and realized literary wordings of EU perfectly. Thank you.
Beautifully read !
