Parallel passages from the Judeo-Christian Bible and the Bhagavad-Gita of India reveal a single unified teaching. East meets West and theological barriers tumble. Two Scriptures become one Truth. Concepts such as reincarnation and karma are explained in the words of Jesus, salvation through grace and the "only son of God" are described in the Bhagavad-Gita. RAYS OF THE ONE LIGHT is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, a great master of yoga from India, author of the classic Autobiography of a Yogi.

À propos de l?auteur

One of the foremost spiritual teachers of Yoga principles in the world. In 1948, at the age of twenty-two, he became a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi). At Yogananda's request, Swami Kriyananda devoted his life to teaching and writing, and helping others to experience the joy and living presence of God within. For more than sixty years, Kriyananda lectured on four continents. His television programs, audio and video recordings of his talks and music, and his many books in twenty-eight languages have touched the lives of millions. His books and teachings cover nearly every field of human endeavor, including spiritualizing business life, leadership, education, the arts, community life, and science. Kriyananda, known as the "father of the intentional communities movement," which began in the USA, was inspired by his guru's dream of establishing spiritual communities. In 1968, he founded Ananda communities worldwide. They provide a supportive environment of "simple living and high thinking," where a thousand full-time residents live, work, and worship together. "The time has come for people to live lives of even higher dedication than that...of the past. . . . The time has come for people to direct their spiritual awareness also downward into matter . . . to everything they do: their work, to education, to family life, to friendship, to their communications with strangers, to the way they build their homes - to all the most mundane, practical aspects of daily, human life. "Men need now to become God-centered from within, and from that center to see God everywhere, in everything." - Cities of Light by Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters)
