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

From the renowned author of the best selling spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, comes a revelatory exposition on the hidden yoga of the Gospels - a selection of material from Paramahansa Yogananda's critically acclaimed two-volume work, The Second Coming of Christ (Self-Realization Fellowship, 2004) designed to serve as an introduction to that larger, comprehensive commentary on the Gospels. In this luminous volume that explores the Yoga teachings of Jesus Christ, Yogananda makes clear that Jesus not only knew the principles of Yoga, but taught this universal science of God-realization to his disciples. In this book, Yogananda explores the role of Jesus as yogi and avatar (divine incarnation), and he affirms that at the core of Jesus' teachings is the message that all souls who through Yoga meditation and right living become united with Christ Consciousness will enter the kingdom of God.
