Paramhansa Yogananda's famous life story, Autobiography of a Yogi, describes the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in two of the chapters: Chapter 7 and Chapter 26. Yogananda mentions three of the core insights offered by Patanjali: the now famous 8-Fold Path of (Ashtanga) Raja Yoga; the pithy but powerful definition of the state of "yoga-union"; and the importance of communing with the OM vibration.
