Based on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, author of The Yoga of Jesus and the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, Brother Prafullananda will present the role of Jesus as yogi and avatar (divine incarnation), and show how the principles and methods of yoga parallel Jesus' original teachings found in the Bible. In the talk, Brother Prafullananda – a monk of Yogananda's Self- Realization Fellowship monastic order for twenty-five years will address important questions such as:
The real meaning of the "Second Coming of Christ", and how to experience it;
The lost years of Jesus in India;
The true meaning of baptism;
The meditation experience of communion with the Holy Ghost;
"The Bible is full of mysteries," says Brother Prafullananda, "but it is also full of answers. As Paramahansa Yogananda points out, it is by applying the methods of yoga meditation encapsulated in Jesus' Bible teachings give the means to experience life's ultimate joy, the joy of the soul, by bringing about the 'Second Coming of Christ' within ourselves"
