This extraordinary treatise explores parallel passages from the Bible and the Hindu scriptures to reveal the essential unity of all religions. Swami Sri Yukteswar is renowned as the revered guru of the great pioneer of yoga in the West, Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi). In this remarkable work - composed in the year 1894 at the request of the great Indian sage, Mahavatar Babaji - Sri Yukteswar outlines the universal path that every human being must travel to enlightenment. He also explains the vast recurring cycles of history - the yugas that mark the upward ascent of human consciousness over millenniums - amid the ever-changing panorama of turbulent world events.

Swami Sri Yukteswar kirjoitti tämän ainutlaatuisen tutkielman paramgurunsa eli hengellisen opettajansa opettajan Mahavatar Babajin pyynnöstä. Näin kertoo Paramahansa Yogananda kirjan synnystä tunnetussa teoksessaan Joogin omaelämäkerta. Pyhä tiede vertailee Raamattua ja hindujen pyhiä kirjoituksia toisiinsa ja osoittaa niiden olennaisen ykseyden. Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yoganandan suuresti arvostama guru, hahmottelee teoksessaan sen yhteisen tien, jonka jokainen joutuu kulkemaan saavuttaakseen valaistumisen. Hän kuvaa tarkasti myös sivilisaation laajoja, toistuvia kehityskausia ja avaa näin syvällisen näkökulman historian ja kuohuvan nykymaailman tapahtumien ymmärtämiseen.
