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.' Never before available in its entirety, this landmark work by one of the most revered spiritual teachers of our time 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. "In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth.... A thousand Christs sent to earth would not redeem its people unless they themselves become Christlike by purifying and expanding their individual consciousness to receive therein the second coming of the Christ Consciousness, as was manifested in Jesus.... Contact with this Consciousness, experienced in the ever new joy of meditation, will be the real second coming of Christ -- and it will take place right in the devotee's own consciousness.' Paramahansa Yogananda.Yogananda, Paramhansa is the author of 'Second Coming of Christ The Resurrection of the Christ Within You A Revelatory Commentary on the Original Teachings of Jesus', published 2004 under ISBN 9780876125557 and ISBN 0876125550.
