I picked it up (audiobook version) when I was going through a personal crisis, hoping to get some kind of spiritual awakening.
It is just about yogi after yogi coming up miracles. The first one was able to reappear somewhere else while sitting in dhyana, second one was able to create various fragrances out of thin air (literally), rose, sandalwood everything. I stopped at when I was at yogi who was able to control wild animals, killed lions, tigers at will. I felt like JK Rowling got Harry Potter idea from Yogi parmananda. Though I was not able to achieve any awakening but it did lift my spirits.

I guess I need to rise above my cynicism.
If someone had told me 20 years ago that one day I will be able touch a pencilbox like instrument a few times and someone will deliver food, I would have probably said that it defies every law of physics, which is all three of them that I know.

Interesting read. It has notes also. One such note is as below. Around 2500 people reviewed this book and 84% gave 5 rating.
Laymen scarcely realize the vast strides of twentieth-century science. Transmutation of metals and other alchemical dreams are seeing fulfillment every day in centers of scientific research over the world. The eminent French chemist, M. Georges Claude, performed "miracles" at Fontainebleau in 1928 before a scientific assemblage through his chemical knowledge of oxygen transformations. His "magician's wand" was simple oxygen, bubbling in a tube on a table. The scientist "turned a handful of sand into precious stones, iron into a state resembling melted chocolate and, after depriving flowers of their tints, turned them into the consistency of glass.
"M. Claude explained how the sea could be turned by oxygen transformations into many millions of pounds of horsepower; how water which boils is not necessarily burning; how little mounds of sand, by a single whiff of the oxygen blowpipe, could be changed into sapphires, rubies, and topazes; and he predicted the time when it will be possible for men to walk on the bottom of the ocean minus the diver's equipment. Finally the scientist amazed his onlookers by turning their faces black by taking the red out of the sun's rays."
This noted French scientist has produced liquid air by an expansion method in which he has been able to separate the various gases of the air, and has discovered various means of mechanical utilization of differences of temperature in sea water.

I don't understand this fascination yogis have with living in the Himalayas. It's *cold* over there, especially if you're a naga (naked) sadhu, and the only recreation is skiing.
When (note 'When', not 'if') I become a yogi, I will seek out a nice cave somewhere warm like New Mexico (Carslbad has bats, if not Batmen) or even better in SoCal. It might even be easier to get devotees in SoCal.
Only downside of SoCal is that the cave will need to be reinforced against Earthquakes. But maybe a yogi can get a devotee all dressed in black (like the one I posted a link to in the other thread) to join one in the cave. In the Himalayas, a yogi has to make do with Abominable Snow-women !
