Self-Realization Fellowship has released his most eagerly awaited book: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST The Resurrection of the Christ Within You
A revelatory commentary on the original teachings of Jesus
"In titling this work The Second Coming of Christ, I
am not referring to a literal return of Jesus to earth....A thousand
Christs sent to earth would not redeem its people unless they
themselves become Christlike by purifying and expanding their
individual consciousness to receive therein the second coming of the
Christ Consciousness, as was manifested in Jesus....Contact with this
Consciousness, experienced in the ever new joy of meditation, will be
the real second coming of Christ — and it will take place right in the
devotee's own consciousness." —Paramahansa Yogananda

James J. Lynn, Rajarsi
Janakananda,
was a Kansas City businessman who met Paramahansa
Yogananda in 1932. Mr. Lynn became one his chief disciples and
later
succeeded Sri Yogananda as President of Self-Realization
Fellowship.
Paramahansa Yogananda said that J. J. Lynn advanced quickly because he
knew how to listen. His Guru gave him the monastic name of
Rajarsi
Janakananda and said that Rajarsi had become a siddha (a perfected
being).
Sri Daya Mata has been President of Self-Realization
Fellowship since 1955. One of the first women to lead a world-wide
religious organization and monastic order, her tenure in such a
position
is only exceeded by the Dalai Lama.

Earth not
only spins, it wobbles. And over time, that wobbling -- called
precession
-- affects the positioning of the sun relative to the constellations on
the zodiac. For example, on the first day of spring (vernal equinox)
5,000
years ago, the sun was in Taurus. Today, the sun is in Pisces at the
vernal
equinox and in Taurus at the summer solstice. In about 600 years, the
sun
will enter "the age of Aquarius." Precession is commonly thought to be
caused by the constant pull of the sun and moon on the bulge of the
Earth's
equator. It's a slow wobble, however, taking nearly 26,000 years to
complete.
For an alternate explanation for the
cause
of precession, click on the link below and order "The Great Year" DVD.
It examines the scientific evidence for Sri Yukteswar's explanation of
the rise and fall of civilizations, the cycle of the Yugas. Go to TheGreatYearDVD.com
