“In titling this work TheSecondComingofChrist, I am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to

earth….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.”

“Offers startling ideas about the deeper meaning of Jesus’ teachings

and their essential unity with yoga….It has been praised as a

groundbreaking work by comparative religion scholars.”

— Los Angeles Times

“A masterpiece of spiritual revelation….As Yogananda delves into the

life and background of Jesus, it becomes clear that the Gospels contain

a universal esoteric message that has been awaiting full and systematic

explication since the apostolic age. In Yogananda’s commentary, what

had been veiled, obscure, and oblique is fully disclosed.”
