Science of Religion
Description
The earliest of Yogananda's published works, The Science of Religion is an amplification of his maiden speech in America, the historic talk that first introduced his teachings to the Western world. Given in 1920 before an international congress of religious leaders in Boston, the talk was first published in pamphlet form, and then amplified into its present fullness in 1924--and it's been in continuous print since!Yogananda shows how the answers to the ultimate questions of science and religion do not lie in scholarly research or blind belief, but may only be found in an expansion of consciousness. His pragmatic approach outlines the methods by which such a state of expanded perception may be achieved, and examines the relative effectiveness of various approaches--from traditional intellectual and religious disciplines through metaphysical principles and practices that lead beyond the conscious and subconscious minds to a superconscious awareness. Includes a detailed discussion of the scientific basis of Kriya Yoga meditation.Religion is really nothing but the merging of our individuality in universality. Therefore in the consciousness of this blissful state we ascend the steps of religion. We leave the noxious atmosphere of the senses and vagrant thoughts and come to a region of heavenly Bliss.
