Product Description
This galvanizing book, presenting the teachings of Christ from the experience and perspective of Paramhansa Yogananda, one of the greatest spiritual masters of the twentieth century, finally offers the fresh perspective on Christ's teachings for which the world has been waiting. This book presents us with an opportunity to understand and apply the Scriptures in a more reliable way than any other: by studying under those saints who have communed directly, in deep ecstasy, with Christ and God.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Spiritual Read   October 2, 2008
Swami Kriyananda continues to maintain the spiritual bridge from East to West designed by our precious Lord Jesus Christ and magnificently built by Paramhansa Yogananda utilizing the eternal power and wisdom of the most Holy Spirit. The Swami's joy and peace are palpable on every page. This is truly the "Peace of Christ".


4 out of 5 stars Makes sense of the New Testament   April 22, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I certainly agree that not only is it possible that Jesus sought spiritual masters from the East (including Indian), that it is highly probable. And I very much appreciate the in-depth discussions about various insights this would have on understanding the New Testament.

I deducted a star because the author occasionally showed his culturalism by saying things like "India is the mother of religion." The vast majority of the discussion is presented in an intellectual fashion and such generalizations stick out like a sore thumb.



4 out of 5 stars Wordy but worthy   November 27, 2007
  2 out of 6 found this review helpful

While I certainly enjoyed this book, as there are many worthwhile "nuggets" to be uncovered, I find the author to have been far too frivolous with his use of words. In many instances I'm not at all sure that the ideas expressed were Yogananda's or the authors. Also, many times the author repeats himself, but not to re-illustrate a point from a different angle, he just repeats himself. The book, though fraught with long winded diatribes is of high value due to the richness of the core content and the beauty and joy it evokes. It could have been better written.


5 out of 5 stars An inspirational book for all sincere Christians   November 27, 2007
  22 out of 23 found this review helpful

This book is a great book for all sincere followers of Christianity. It revels the true meaning of Jesus Christ's words which are mostly misunderstood by the West for over two thousand years. It takes deep spiritual insight and experience to write such a book.

This book helps us to rediscover the true meaning of the teachings of Jesus Christ. I would highly recommend this book to all sincere Christians who are shaken by their faith of Christianity because of material science.



1 out of 5 stars Paramahansa Yogananda Is NOT Author of this Book!   October 6, 2007
  5 out of 19 found this review helpful

Please be aware that Paramahansa Yogananda was NOT the author of this book. Only titles published by Self-Realization Fellowship are authorized writings of Paramahansa Yogananda. The author of this book, Swami Kriyananda, was a student of Paramahansa in the early 1950's before Paramahansa's death. You will additionally notice that websites and other information disseminated by Swami Kriyananda typically mis-spell Paramahansa Yogananda's name as "Paramhansa".
