Synopsis

En el primero de los tres volúmenes de esta monumental obra, Paramahansa Yogananda lleva al lector a un viaje profundamente enriquecedor a través de los cuatro Evangelios. Versículo a versículo, el autor ilumina el sendero universal hacia la unión con Dios que Jesús enseñó a sus discípulos más cercanos, pero que fue oscurecido a lo largo de siglos de interpretaciones erróneas: cómo llegar a ser un Cristo, cómo resucitar al Cristo Eterno que mora en nuestro interior.

Volume 1 of a 3 volume set. In this unprecedented masterwork of inspiration, Paramahansa Yogananda takes the reader on a profoundly enriching journey through the four Gospels. Verse by verse, he illumines the universal path to oneness with God taught by Jesus to his immediate disciples but obscured through centuries of misinterpretation: how to become like Christ, how to resurrect the Eternal Christ within one's self. This landmark work transcends divisive sectarianism to reveal a unifying harmony underlying all true religions. A groundbreaking synthesis of East and West, it imparts the life-transforming realization that each of us can experience for ourselves the promised Second Coming - awakening of the all-fulfilling Divine Consciousness latent within our souls.

Yogananda said: In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth. He came two thousand years ago and, after imparting a universal path to God's kingdom, was crucified and resurrected; his reappearance to the masses now is not necessary for the fulfillment of his teachings. What is necessary is for the cosmic wisdom and divine perception of Jesus to speak again through each one's own experience and understanding of the infinite Christ Consciousness that was incarnate in Jesus. That will be his true Second Coming.

About the Author:

Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952) es considerado una de las personalidades espirituales más ilustres de los tiempos modernos. Autor de Autobiografía de un yogui obra clásica de la literatura espiritual y best seller desde que se publicó, en 1946 , este amado maestro mundial llegó a Estados Unidos procedente de la India, su país de origen, en 1920. Fue el primer gran maestro de yoga que vivió y enseñó en Occidente durante un largo período (más de tres décadas). En la actualidad es ampliamente reconocido como el padre del yoga en Occidente. Fundó Self-Realization Fellowship (1920) y Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (1917), que continúan difundiendo por todo el mundo su legado espiritual.

Born in India on January 5, 1893, Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to helping people of all races and creeds to realize and express more fully in their lives the beauty, nobility, and true divinity of the human spirit.

After graduating from Calcutta University in 1915, Sri Yogananda took formal vows as a monk of India's venerable monastic Swami Order. Two years later, he began his life's work with the founding of a how-to-live school since grown to seventeen educational institutions throughout India where traditional academic subjects were offered together with yoga training and instruction in spiritual ideals. In 1920, he was invited to serve as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. His address to the Congress and subsequent lectures on the East Coast were enthusiastically received, and in 1924 he embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour.

Over the next three decades, Paramahansa Yogananda contributed in far-reaching ways to a greater awareness and appreciation in the West of the spiritual wisdom of the East. In Los Angeles, he established an international headquarters for Self-Realization Fellowship the nonsectarian religious society he had founded in 1920. Through his writings, extensive lecture tours, and the creation of numerous Self-Realization Fellowship temples and meditation centers, he introduced thousands of truth-seekers to the ancient science and philosophy of yoga and its universally applicable methods of meditation.

Today, the spiritual and humanitarian work begun by Paramahansa Yogananda continues under the direction of Self-Realization Fellowship/Yogoda Satsanga Society of India. In addition to publishing his writings, lectures, and informal talks (including a comprehensive series of lessons for home study), the society also oversees its temples, retreats, and centers around the world; the monastic communities of the Self-Realization Order; and a Worldwide Prayer Circle.
