The Tamil version, titled ஒரு யோகியின் சுயசரிதை , is a faithful and respectful translation. Readers praise its clear, devotional language that captures the spiritual essence of Yogananda’s original English classic. The book details his childhood, search for his guru (Sri Yukteswar), encounters with saints, and explanations of Kriya Yoga. Tamil readers find the translation accessible, though some note that certain Sanskrit/yogic terms retain their original form with Tamil explanations.
