Long before the use of affirmations was embraced in mainstream settings as diverse as hospitals, recovery programs, sports arenas, and corporate suites, Paramahansa Yogananda, celebrated author of Autobiography of a Yogi, understood and taught the deep spiritual principles that make this ancient scientific tool so powerfully effective. Includes comprehensive instructions and a wide variety of affirmations for healing the body, developing confidence, awakening wisdom, curing bad habits, and much more.

Albert Einstein once declared: "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind." In The Science of Religion Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the acclaimed spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) reveals why the answers to the ultimate questions of both science and religion do not lie in scholarly research or blind belief, but in direct personal experience of a higher Reality that underlies and sustains all life. With compelling logic, he explores the relative effectiveness of various approaches to this goal - from traditional intellectual and religious disciplines to metaphysical practices that lead beyond the conscious and subconscious mind to a superconscious awareness. Stripping away the cloaks of dogma and doctrine, he redefines religion on a basis at once universal and intensely personal.

In this classic spiritual guide, Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, dispels the myth that God is beyond our reach. He points out that it is not only possible to talk with God but to receive definite responses to our prayers. Defining the Lord as both the transcendent, universal Spirit and the intimately personal Father, Mother, Friend, and Lover of all, he helps us to realize how close that infinite and all-loving Being is to each one of us. He also explains how we can make our prayers so powerful and persuasive that they will bring a tangible response.

Ote C.V. Narasimhanin, YhdistyneidenKansakuntien alipääsihteerin, esipuheesta: "Minulla on ollut etuoikeus tavata useita kertoja Sri Daya Mata - - Hänen läsnä ollessaan kukaan ei voi välttyä tuntemasta sitä hengellisen rauhan ja seesteisyyden auraa, joka hänestä säteilee. Hän lähti jo hyvin nuorena seuraamaan Paramahansa Yoganandan opetuksia. Sri Yoganandasta huokuvan valaistumisen jumalallinen kipinä oli ilmeisesti koskettanut häntä jo silloin. Hänestä tuli Paramahansa Yoganandan ensimmäisiä seuraajia tämän elinaikana, ja - - Sri Yoganandan hengellisen työn ansiokas jatkaja ja sanoman eteenpäin viejä tässä maassa, omassa maassani [Intiassa] ja kaikkialla maailmassa.""Tämä rauhan ja sisäisen tyyneyden sekä ehyen ihmispersoonan sanoma on omalle ajallemme mitä tärkein. Elämme kuohunnan aikaa - -. Tarvitsemme kipeämmin kuin koskaan ehyitä yksilöitä - -. Sri Daya Matan sanoma on siis erittäin tärkeä ja olennainen epäilyn ja skeptisyyden aikanamme. Hänen tässä kirjassa julkaistut puheensa ovat kuin toivon ja uskon majakka. Ne julistavat sekä ihmiskunnan ykseyttä että ihmisen ykseyttä Jumalan kanssa."Kirjan aiheita ovat muun muassa: Miten voit ymmärtää itseäsi ja toisia Meditaation merkitys Lasten kasvattamisen hengelliset näkökohdat Maailman ykseyden perusteet Terveys ja parantaminen Rukouksen voima Menestyminen perhe- ja liike-elämässä Oikea asennoituminen maailman tilanteeseen Kuinka luoda henkilökohtainen suhde Jumalaan

Kirja esittelee myös yksityiskohtaisesti joogameditaation tieteellistä perustaa.
