Product Description
Synopsis
In "The Yoga of Jesus" a selection of material from his highly praised two volume work, "The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You", this concise book confirms that Jesus, like the ancient sages and masters of the East, not only knew the principles of yoga but taught this universal science of God-realisation to his disciples. Yogananda, who is widely recognised as the father of yoga in the West, explores the role of Jesus as yogi and avatar (divine incarnation). He removes the centuries of dogma and misunderstanding that obscure Christ's original teachings, and shows that Jesus' message is not about sectarian divisiveness, but a unifying path by which seekers of all faith traditions can enter the kingdom of God.

I would highly recommend this book to all - Yogis, non-Yogis, Christians and non-Christians.
This book is a synopsis of the original larger two volume set that Yogananda wrote, in which he gave his interpretation of the four gospels - verse by verse.
Although it is a small book and can be read quickly, I have found it needs to be read (and reread) slowly so that it's inner wisdom can be better revealed.
I am inspired to read his larger work.

I always have difficulty with concepts from another culture - I suspect I miss many subtleties, and this applies to this book. The focus of the book is how to know God, rather than accept dogmas and beliefs. The words of Jesus in the Gospels providing the clues. The conclusion is to practice meditation. In many ways the book is similar to the advice given by Christian mystics like St John of the Cross amongst others. As a (liberal) Christian I had no problems with his approach, although he sometimes mis-understands the biblical texts he quotes. Like many recent spiritual books, it answers the need of those who want to experience God and not just believe in the idea.

This book offers a really deep insight into Jesus, Christ God and ultimate truth. Heavy and profound.
