About the Author

Hailed as the "father of Yoga in the West," Paramahansa Yogananda is regarded as one of the great spiritual figures of our time. Born in northern India, he came to the United States in 1920, where for more than 30 years he taught the ancient science of meditation and the art of balanced spiritual living. That same year he founded Self-Realization Fellowship, to disseminate his writings and teachings worldwide. Through his best-selling classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, and his numerous other books, he has introduced millions throughout the world to the spiritual principles of yoga meditation and the universal truths underlying all world religions.

 

Book Description

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.

 

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."

I bought this book yesterday, very interesting, revelatory and perhaps even revolutionary. Haven't read yet, it is 1600 pages, just randomly read some passages. It is amazing how much divinity, wisdom and mysticism there is in the words of Jesus. I highly recommend it, of course having read the author's other writings also. Read it and you will see there is much more beyond what we have been told by various dogmatic authorities. Edited September 1, 2004 by Sasun

I just stumbled on this by default rather than design, as I seldom get involved in “theology/meology”.

Second coming?

Why?

What was wrong with the “first ”?

We, as Christian Armenians subscribe to the “first coming” with the message of love, forgiveness and PEACE. Who is it that is waiting for the “second coming”, a coming of the sword, war, destruction and “Armageddon” when the whole Middle East and the world will be consumed with “fire and brimstone”, save only one people?

“Second coming? When everyone, including us the Armenians, along with the Syrians, Iraqis and the Americans will be incinerated except jou know jou..

Can we get over this “pro-faecis” garbage and get back to reality?

You mean, at the “second coming” the entire world will be wiped out, including us, except TelAviv?

Have we not had enough of those “prophesies/pro-faeces".

Is it not time that we learn to read that BOOK of Lies with the sophistication of the 21st Century of science and knowledge, science does mean knowledge as in the Armenian word "gitutyun/գիտութիւն"?

Actually, the Armenian word “gitutyun /գիտութիւն is based on գէտ/ գիտ to search, gtnel/գտնել/գտնալ/գիտենալ, to search, to find, to learn..

Ironically, it is that same book that urges us to "seek, and ye shall find", yet we so blindly take whatever "econd/third" garbage others may dish at us.

Yeah, Yeah!

Second coming!

Is that like making love for the second time? , Amot, Amot!!

Mot e garun@, shutov k@ hasni!!

If you back track above you will see what I wrote.

The "Second Coming" had nothin to do with Christianity. We heard HIM the first time< And if there atill are those who have not heard, please read the Gospels. Forget that heap of garbage known as the Old Tetament whose adeherents are still waiting for that "second coming" of King David.

Are we Christians, followers of Christ or are we still waiting for that King of Judea who will not come until that time of "VORmageddon" when all is incinerated except you-know-who ?

Wake up and smell the "sourj", see who is talking about the "second coming".

Will do

Dear Seb,

Please don't.

We love you.

You don't need to read any damn Jew's view of Jesus or any Sri Shitmoy's either.

All one needs to do is read the Avetaran, it means Gospel, Good News, Good Tidings, Avetis to see, as the First Christians- "What a Friend We Have In Jesus".

Do you know that hymn?

[aSoldier]

I wonder why no one objects to Sasun reading the book...am I no different?

 

Oh and Sip: about the "boy am i in for a surprise" blurb...what surprise am i in for?

Any fervent Christian reading a book written about Jesus by some Karonamayananu Kukuchinmoyakamalala is up for a surprise.

... or ANY Yogi for that matter

 

sSebB, believe it or not, I actually would encourage you to read it. It will definitely provide some alternative view points which you may end up liking more than your current ones. Who knows. But don't get me wrong though, by encouraging you to read it, by no means do I "recommend" or "agree" with any of it. For one thing, I haven't read it but I think I have a pretty good idea of what's in it.

 

Also, what the hell is up with the Amazon reviews? The book got 5 starts from EVERY reviewer. It's like the entire cult lined up to review this book.

Edited July 1, 2006 by Sip

[aSoldier]

It's not fair to judge a book by the name of the author...I was under the impression that goes under the "common sense" category.

 

Also, you can't say that I will be in for a surprise, not only because you haven't read the book, but you do not even know what I am expecting from it.

[Sip]

Just seeing your avatar it's fairly obvious what you expect from a book about "Christ" (not to mention EVERYTHING you have said so far)

In the old Testament, the prophecies about coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ indicates TWO COMINGS; the first as a lamb, then after that a second coming as a lion. In His first coming He will defeat Satan by paying the price for the sins of humanity upon the cross by His shed blood, and by hanging from the cross as prophesied, and be worthy to be the Savior of the World; He will be lead as a sheep to the slaughter. While in the Second Coming He will give the final blow to Satan and to Satan's Antichrist; He then will reign as King and as Judge upon earth, the whole earth being under His rule, His kingdom on earth as in heaven. There is going to be a new earth after the destruction of the currant earth and on this new earth He will let live only whom He wishes to live (many unbelievers will end up lost in the darkness of the deep space, with no light and we no solid ground). As to those who have followed Him they will rule with Him: "Then Peter said to Him, 'Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?' And Jesus said to them, 'Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man [Jesus Christ] will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'"


The speech Jesus gave in the temple at the age of 12, as given to Mary of Agreda who wrote it down during her life on on earth; it was given to her by Mother Mary

http://www.themostholyrosary.com/mystical-city.htm

 

Then after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions [Luke 2:42-47] about the coming of the Messiah.

María Fernández Coronel y Arana, Abbess of Ágreda (2 April 1602 – 24 May 1665) was a Catholic Franciscan nun. In religious life, she was known Sor (Sister) María de Jesús de Ágreda. Popular culture since the 17th century has also dubbed her as the Lady in Blue and the Blue Nun. She wrote a series of books about the life of Blessed Virgin Mary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_de_%C3%81greda

 

She writes of Jesus speaking at the temple at the age of 12

The Divine Child, Jesus, spoke to them (temple teachers) as follows:

"The question concerning the coming of the Messiah and the answer given to it, I have heard and understood completely. In order to propose the difficulty in regard to its solution, I presuppose what the Prophets say, that His coming shall be in great power and majesty, which has also been confirmed by the testimonies brought forward.

"For Isaiah says, that He shall be our Law-giver and King, who shall save his people (Isaiah 30:27), and David, that He shall crush all his enemies (psalms 94:3), Daniel, that all tribes and nations shall serve Him (Daniel 7:14), Ecclesiasticus, that He shall come with a great multitude of the saints (Eclus 24:3). All the prophets and scriptures are full of similar promises, manifesting characteristics of the Messiah clearly and decisively enough for all those that study them with enlightened attention. But the doubt arises from the comparison of these with other passages in the Prophets, since all of them must be equally true, though on account of their brevity they may appear to contradict each other. Therefore they must agree with each other in another sense, which can and must be found equally applicable in all the passages.

"How then shall we understand what this same Isaiah says of him, that he shall come from the land of the living, and when he asks: who shall declare His generation? (Is 53:8), that He shall be satiated with reproach; that He shall be lead as a sheep to the slaughter, and that He shall not open his mouth? Jeremiah states that the enemies of the Messiah shall join hands to persecute Him and mix poison with his bread, and they shall wipe out his name from the earth, although they shall not prevail in their attempt (Jer 11:19). David says that He shall be the reproach of the people and of men, and shall be trodden under foot and shall be despised (Ps 21:78); Zachariah, that He shall come meek and humble seated upon an insignificant beast (Zachariah 9:9). All the Prophets say the same concerning the signs of the promised Messiah."

Hence, added the Divine Child Jesus,

"how will it be possible to reconcile these prophecies, if we suppose that the Messiah is to come with the power and majesty of arms in order to conquer all the kings and monarchs by force and foreign bloodshed? We cannot fail to see that He is to come twice; once to redeem the world and a second time to judge it; the prophecies must be applied to both these comings, giving to each one it's right explanation. As the purposes of these comings are different so must also the conditions be different; for He is not to exercise the same office in both, but widely divergent and opposite offices.

"In the first advent He is to overthrow the demon [satan], hurling him from his sovereignty over souls obtained through the first sin. And therefore He must first render satisfaction to God for the whole human race; then also teach men by his word and example the way of eternal life, how they are to overcome their enemies, serve and adore their God and Redeemer; how they must correspond to to the gifts and use well the blessings of his right hand. All these requirements the Messiah must fulfill in the first coming.

"The second coming is for the purpose of exacting an account from all men in the general judgment, of giving to each one the return for his works, good or bad, chastising his enemies in his wrath and indignation. This is what the Prophets say of his second coming.

"Accordingly, when we wish to understand how his first coming shall be in power and majesty, or as David says, that He shall reign from sea to sea, that in his advent He shall be glorious, as said by the other Prophets: all this cannot be interpreted as referring to visible and territorial sovereignty, with all its outward show of pomp and majesty; but of a spiritual reign in a new church, which would be extended over all the earth with sovereign power and riches of grace and virtue in opposition to the demon [satan]. By this interpretation the whole Scripture becomes clear, while in another sense its different parts cannot be made to harmonize.

"That the people of the Jews are under dominion of the Romans and are in no condition to restore their sovereignty, not only cannot be held as a proof of his not having come, but on the contrary, it is an infallible sign that He is already come into the world. For our Patriarch Jacob has pointed out this very sign for the guidance of his posterity, commanding them to expect the Messiah as soon as they should see the tribe of Judah deprived of the scepter and sovereignty of Israel (Gen 49:10); and you must confess that neither Judah nor any other tribe of Israel can hope to recover or hold it. The same is also proved by the weeks of Daniel (Dan 9:25); which must certainly be now complete.

"Those who wish can also remember, that a few years ago a light was seen in Bethlehem at midnight and that some poor shepherds heard the message of the new-born Redeemer; and soon after some Kings of the East came guided by a star, seeking the King of the Jews in order to adore Him. All this had been prophesied. Herod, the father of Archelaus [Matt. 2:22], believing it an established fact, took away the life of so many children, hoping thereby to destroy the new-born king, whom he feared as his rival in the government of Israel."

Other arguments did the child Jesus add, and while seeming to ask questions, He taught with a divine efficacy. The scribes and learned men who heard Him were all dumbfounded. "then after three days His parents found Him in the temple...Luke 2:46." and "He went with them and came to Nazareth...Luke 2:51.

In this recent message from Jesus he speaks about His first coming and how destroyed the dominion of Satan who tempted and deceived God's creation then enslaved them

 

When you lack humility, pride will flood your souls and you will sin against Me

Thursday, October 31st, 2013 @ 23:30

 

My dearly beloved daughter,

so many will not listen to My Voice, because they do not know Who I Am. Many claim to know Me, but it is only by their flawed human interpretation that they are convinced that they understand Who I Am and what I did to save them from the abyss, which faces all God’s children, who will not ask Me to forgive them.

 

Free will is a Gift from My Father. Free will can, however, interfere with man’s quest to seek the Love of God. Yet, My Father gave His children this Gift. This is how generous He is. This is how much He loves His children. This is the Gift that gave them the freedom to roam the Earth, relish its fruits, and embrace its beauty. But man, tempted by Satan, abused the trust of My Father. He then became enslaved by Satan and forged a pact with him, where sin will continue to separate all of God’s children from Him.

 

The Gift of My death on the Cross meant that I would break this unnatural bond between man and Satan. So I enabled man to seek salvation through the forgiveness of sin, by My death on the Cross. This means that man has the capacity to escape the grip of Satan, but only those who follow Me, in full humble servitude, can truly gain salvation. Unless you are capable of declaring to Me, Jesus Christ, openly, your weaknesses, your sins and your hatred of one another, through reconciliation, you will not remain pure. Without purity of soul, you are not capable of becoming humble in My Eyes. When you lack humility, pride will flood your soul and you will sin against Me. When you sin against Me, you do this in a number of ways.

 

You will feed your lusts, greed and pride first. Then you will behave as if you are all knowledgeable, smarter and better than others. Then you will judge others. Then you move to the next stage. You will mock those who are in true union with Me, by declaring them to be imperfect. After that you will create slander against all those who remain True to Me. Yet, you will convince yourself that you are filled with the Holy Spirit. But, it will not be the Holy Spirit, which inspires you. Instead, it will be the spirit of evil, which will invade your soul, and you will believe that you are being guided by Heaven.

 

When you say you represent Me and that you are better placed than others to be part of My Kingdom and then lie about Me, you need the prayers of others. By that stage, you are halfway into the depths of Hell and without My Intervention you will be lost.

 

Take My Message. Press it close to your heart and ask: “Jesus is this You? Am I truly in need of Your Help?” and I will give you the answer.

Your Jesus

===========

And in this message below Jesus is referring in the last sentence to His second coming and to Final Darkness upon the earth before His second coming when He will come to claim His Kingdom.

 

The greatest persecution will be inflicted by Christians upon Christians

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013 @ 20:30

 

My dearly beloved daughter, I must urge all of God’s children to join in union and pray for My Church on Earth.

 

My Heart heaves at this time, for there is great hatred being shown to those who are practicing Christians. The persecution of Christians will continue in all countries and this includes all those who have, at this time, the freedom to practice their homage to Me. The greatest persecution will be inflicted by Christians upon Christians. The scourging of My Body on Earth will be at its worst from within, as brother will turn against brother and sister against sister. You will soon see the declaration of the new prayers, which will be introduced by the new liturgy.

 

The main changes will refer to the Holy Communion, where it will be presented as something, which bears little resemblance to My death on the Cross, when I gave up My Body for all sinners. By declaring that Holy Communion means the joining together of all of humanity, as one before God, you will insult Me, because this would be contrary to the Truth. The Truth no longer means the Truth, because so many spread lies, exaggerate and do not understand how easily the Truth can be tampered with. When twisted, in a subtle way, many will not notice the changes, when the Truth is not adhered to. Lies will take the place of the Truth, divide the human race and create the separation from God, which will lead to destruction.

 

Always cherish the Truth, because without it the sun will darken, the moon will no longer present light when night falls and the stars will no longer shine in those days which will signal the final darkness, before I come to reclaim My Kingdom.

 

By then, only the Truth will save you.

Your Jesus

In this message of November, 2013, Jesus is speaking about His Second Coming and the need to prepare. As to teachings of Jesus, they are all in the New Testament: "When Jesus has finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teachings" Matt 7:28"

The Light of God will shine down on you and I promise that you will not feel alone

Tuesday, November 5th, 2013 @ 11:00

 

My dearly beloved daughter, God has already begun the final preparations to ensure that salvation is brought to all of His children. So many of you are oblivious to what exactly the Second Coming means and, therefore, you do not prepare yourselves. Many of you do not believe it will happen for a very long time. So, only those who are truly prepared will be ready to greet Me, their Bridegroom, dressed and presented to Me as is befitting. Others will be asleep, unprepared and confused. Some will not believe in Me until I am seen in every part of the world. Some will die of shock, but most will be filled with joy and wonder. Those who allowed themselves to be deceived will be forgiven if they beg Me to grant them immunity. Sadly, many will refuse My Great Mercy because their hearts will have turned to stone and nothing will open them.

 

The time ahead will be full of great revelations and special Graces poured out upon you. I do this to make you stronger and stronger, so that you will not sell your soul in return for worldly attractions. More and more of you will become closer to Me and as I speak to your soul, you will feel at peace amidst the horror of the great apostasy. When you witness this horror, you will be better equipped to withstand it and help others.

 

The Light of God will shine down on you and I promise that you will not feel alone, even if you are rejected by those who know no better. When I walked the Earth the Pharisees turned so many away from Me. The same thing will happen now. Many of you will be encouraged to, not only reject My Call from Heaven at this time, but My Teachings . My Teachings can never be changed because they are the Truth and only the Truth can save you.

Your Jesus

God the Father: No scientific evaluation will make sense when two suns are seen

Sunday, November 10th, 2013 @ 15:00

My dearest daughter, My Desire is to gather all of My children together, very soon, to witness My Promise. My Great Gift will come in the middle of the terrible spiritual persecution, when all that I Am will be denied. New gods, none of which exist, will be presented to the world. Covered with a glittering facade, they will be designed to stop all belief in My Existence. All of this heresy will extinguish the Light of God.

 

Soon, the stars will no longer shine with their great intensity. Soon, new, unexpected signs, which will defy all human understanding of science, will be shown by Me, to a disbelieving world, as the beginning of My Intervention is revealed. No scientific evaluation will make sense when two suns are seen. No definition, by man’s limited knowledge, will make sense. Yet, they will take every sign, given to the world from Heaven, and say that this other human life exists in the universe.

 

I Am the Creator of all life. I created man. I created the world. Never deny this, for when you do you will be following a false doctrine. Every intervention from Heaven – and there will be many – will be explained away. When you see these signs, know that the Day of the Second Coming is close.

 

I ask you, dear children, to never deny Me or to deny My Promise to bring the world the final peace and reconciliation, which is yours if you will accept it on My Terms and not your own. My Will is about to be accomplished at last. To prepare you, I will present to the world many miracles in the skies, in the universe and planetary system. When you witness these events, I want you to be joyful, for you will know then that I Am heralding the return of My Son to complete His Promise of eternal salvation.

 

Wipe the tears from your eyes. I know how difficult your trials will be. I refer to all of My Children, including believers and non-believers, as well as those guilty of terrible sin – none of you are excluded. When you become reconciled to My Son, you will become part of Him and you will reign with Him in Paradise, forever.

 

Your beloved Father

God the Most High
