Christianity
Christ is the saving aspect of Truth which makes us free.
Christianity is a radio talk show with the title Kriya Yoga Meeting Original Christianity.
Christianity:
Hostess Lisa Winton and Swami Jayananda will talk about Paramahansa Yogananda who brought Kriya Yoga to the United States. In this show or series of shows they will discuss some of the important similarities between the teachings of the Self-Realization Fellowship and original Christianity. Listen as they explore the basic principles of Truth, Religion, God, Life and Yoga. In this show religion and yoga will be understood as Union with the Divine and everything else will be missing the mark. Welcome to the Voice of Yoga; we are talking consciousness! Join the Kriya Yoga Spiritual Advance to get the Light in your soul and experience Oneness with the Divine.
Notes:
- SRF mentions original Christianity in their introduction. Read it.
- Both science and religion at the foundation level are seeking Truth and the meeting ground seems to lead to this concealed deity or invisible intangible “force.” When I hear the term original Christianity I now, think of Christian Science because the message of the Christ is to heal the sick, reform the sinner, raise the dead, preach the gospel. I found it very helpful to separate Jesus from the Christ and to understand the Christ as the saving aspect of Truth. Christ demonstrates Divine Law which eliminates karmic law.
- Para-Grams by Paramahansa Yogananda Balance – read the card. 1) Balance always reminds me of the law of karma, the perfect accountant for what we put out we get back, but karma is rooted in a belief in two powers. Yoga is liberation from the law of karma by Union with the Divine. Christian Science helped me see this much clearer than I learned from Goswami Kriyananda. 2) he makes some statements “you are the creator” there is but one creator and it is the Divine Principle and Will– not personal. The entire human experience is the false activity of this law of karma and Spirit destroys the lie. 3) using the term balance here implies working with the body and mind to reach this Truth– this may be one of the differences I found between Christian Science and Kriya Yoga initially, but later I think they both start with Union with the Divine or Love God.
