Synopsis

The cross is a path of ascension and perfection, ascension from the field of finiteness of the sensory world to the firmament of the Cosmic Consciousness of this transcendental Self.Self-liberation from all kinds and all forms of limitations is the sole purpose of life and the ultimate goal of human existence as an individual self.Soul must regain its inalienable right and unalterable destiny of spiritual freedom in the realization of its eternal divine nature and innate perfection of the Self.The cross and the resurrection are very closely related within our consciousness.The thought and belief in resurrection is vital to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.The Light of God is the Mystic Cross from heaven, the only path along which soul journeys in order to discover, reveal and realize, and thereby come to the full cognition of its own perfection. The cosmic Light-Consciousness is the Cosmic Cross of self-ascension and self-perfection.

À propos de l?auteur

Swami Premananda, the author of this book, was a native of India, born in West Bengal in 1903. He received his academic education and religious training in his native land, graduating from the University of Calcutta where he majored in philosophy, oriental languages and comparative religion. He is a disciple of Swami Yogananda Paramhansa. Swamiji came to the United States in 1928 and established the Self-Revelation Church of Absolute Monism in Washington, D.C. During more than 50 years of religious service in Washington, he conducted a weekly radio broadcast and classes in philosophy and yoga, while lecturing at universities, Lions and Rotary Clubs, civic and educational groups, and Christian churches of practically all denominations. In constant demand as a speaker, he also traveled extensively throughout this country, lecturing in various principal cities, including Boston, Lansing, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia. His translations of Upanishadic and other scriptures of India’s priceless spiritual heritage, and other writings on yoga, are the finest sources and testimonies to his life and service as a Swami. He was a 33º Mason, ultimately receiving the jewel of the 33º, distinguishing himself while serving as Chaplain of his lodge and becoming a profound ritualist in higher Masonic degrees. Swamiji founded the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Foundation, Incorporated, in Washington, D.C. in 1959 and inaugurated its Center in 1976. The Center is dedicated to emulating the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi and the spiritual heritage of India which nourished him. He attained mahasamadhi on October 24,1995.
