The Yoga of Jesus: Understanding the Hidden Teachings of the Gospels

By Yogananda

"In this remarkable book, Paramahansa Yogananda reveals the hidden yoga of the Gospels and confirms that Jesus, like the ancient sages and masters of the East, not only knew yoga but taught this universal science of God-realization to his closest disciples. Compiled from the author's highly praised two-volume work, The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You, this insightful and compact book transcends the centuries of dogma and misunderstanding that have obscured the original teachings of Jesus, showing that he taught a unifying path by which seekers of all faiths can enter the kingdom of God. Topics include: - The lost years of Jesus in India - The ancient science of meditation: how to become a Christ - The true meaning of baptism - How the principles and methods of yoga parallel the teachings of the greatest Christian saints and mystics" This description may be from another edition of this product.

Master of Yoga, the real Jesus

Finally a book which depicts Jesus in his true light. Yogananda reveals Jesus as an Oriental master of God conciousness and strips away Western concepts of Jesus which have been fostered since the second century.

Marvelous interpretation of the Bible

I've often found myself confused by the Bible, and rarely have I really grasped the pertinence of its teachings to the dilemmas of our present society. Never before reading this book have I found the Gospels to be so interesting, so universal in scope, and so applicable to my daily concerns. I found this book (as well as the larger "the Second Coming of Christ") to beautifully and engagingly present the truths of Jesus in...

Yogananda and the Yoga of Jesus

Yogananda and the Yoga of Jesus - I've found it to be valuable in helping me to personalize and deepen my Christian heritage with my evolving spirituality. I am a yoga practitioner, seeking Enlightenment, and also respectful of where I've been and how I'm "traveling". The interesting thing is that all religious paths lead to one end, we just have different symbols for how we name and classify the roadmaps. Reading this...

Well worth at least a read, to see what you think of his views.

This book is really great! I bought it to read to decide if I thought it was worth pursuing Yogananda's Second Coming of Christ set, which is rather expensive. Once I read this book I had to order the set, and am ready to start reading that now. This book and Yogananda's views are able to clear up some questions of the new testament which had never been clearly answered previously. It just really clears up a lot of murky...

Insightful Look At Jesus and His Teachings

This book captures Paramanhansa Yogananda's spoken words and writings and puts them into clear focus in one volume on the much misunderstood teachings of Jesus. This new book "The Yoga Of Jesus" is a hundred years in the making. The editors and publishers do a great job of putting Yogananda's thoughts in a logical order so that it reveals a much deeper message--one that shows the hidden yoga of the gospels. This book will...
