Synopsis

For years, the Christian faith has been severely shaken by a growing series of attacks, including: the breakdown of church authority, the repeated discovery of ancient texts that supposedly contradict long-held beliefs and the sometimes outlandish historical analyses of Scripture by academics. Together, these forces have helped create a spiritual vacuum filled with substantial confusion and uncertainty about the true teachings and meanings of Christ's life. The rising tide of alternative beliefs proves that now, more than ever, people are yearning for a clear-minded, convincing, yet uplifting understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. This galvanising 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.

A propos du livre

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 the Indian yoga master and world teacher, 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. Over the course of more than sixty years, he lectured on four continents in seven languages. 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. Swami Kriyananda took the ancient teachings of Raja Yoga and made them intensely practical and immediately useful for people in every walk of life, on a daily basis. His books and teachings cover nearly every field of human endeavor, including spiritualizing business life, leadership, education, the arts, community life, and science. He wrote extensive commentaries on the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. Swami Kriyananda was also known as the "father of the intentional communities movement," which began in the United States in the late 1960s. Inspired by his guru's dream of establishing spiritual communities, in 1968 he founded the first of what are now ten 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 which inspired monks and nuns 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) A monastic nearly all of his adult life, Swami Kriyananda was a swami of the Giri (Mountain) branch of the Swami Order, as was his guru Yogananda, and his guru's guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar. He was the Dharmacharya (leading according to dharma) and spiritual guide for Ananda communities and activities worldwide. He founded the Nayaswami Order, a new monastic order, in 2009.
