Once and Future Christ

Where East Meets West

Beschreibung

There is a great need in these times for a deeper and more universal understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ. No mere intellectual analysis possesses the spiritual power and grace to transform the divisive dogma that separates sincere Christians from other faiths. The yogis of India, both ancient and modern, have gifted to the world a revelation of universality for the healing of the nations. Paramhansa Yogananda came to America in 1920 to focus the light of India's timeless and timely wisdom upon the teachings of Jesus Christ. In Once and Future Christ, Nayaswami Hriman McGilloway expands upon that message with the inclusion of modern scientific discoveries and an exploration of the similarities and relationships between Christianity and Yoga. This book describes the inevitable evolution of Christian dogma towards greater inclusivity. The pathway of this future evolution leads to an understanding that the individual soul's relationship to God is the goal of the spiritual life. The beauty, harmony and sacredness of individual spiritual traditions need not be sacrificed but may someday be understood in a deeper and more personally meaningful light.

Autor

Raised in a devout Catholic family and environment, with sixteen years of Catholic education, including two years at a preparatory high school seminary for the priesthood, Nayaswami Hriman McGilloway has retained his love and respect for the core values and teachings of traditional Christianity. It was during his college years at the University of Santa Clara (a Jesuit college in the Bay Area of California), that the teachings of India and the practice of meditation came into his life. He traveled, in his mid-twenties, from Europe to India in search of India's timeless wisdom. Upon returning after over a year of travel, he found the Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda's now classic life story. Thereafter meeting Swami Kriyananda, founder of the Ananda Community in northern California and a direct disciple of Yogananda, Hriman was personally trained by Kriyananda. For the last forty-five years, Hriman has practiced the Kriya Yoga taught by Yogananda and shared with many hundreds the precepts and practices of meditation. Since 1993 he and his wife, Padma, serve as the spiritual directors of Ananda Sangha in Washington State.
