In this book, Paramhansa Yogananda introduces us to a different Jesus : a Jesus who lived in India, who was a yogi, who taught not only belief, but also the power of inner realization. Jesus, Yogananda affirmed, “was an Oriental, by birth, blood, and training”. This Eastern vision of Christ opens a new door for the reader, allowing an enlightened understanding of his teachings and explaining his parables in a completely different light.
