With an objective to show that all the religions and scriptures are essential, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri has compiled this book. Written originally in 1894 under the penname of ‘Kaivalya Darsanam’ when he was requested to write the book by Mahavatar Babaji, the author compares extracts between the Upanishads and Bible to show the unity in all religions.

The author debates that religious segregations based on conviction and believe are pointless because, at a crucial level, a contradiction has never existed. He compares various excerpts from Hindu scriptures to those in the Bible to show how both are based on common pillars.

The book is divided in four parts- gospel, goal, procedure and revelation; through all these parts he explains the complex Yuga theory in a clear and understandable manner to the reader, emphasizing that this is the Dwapara Yuga and not the Kali Yuga. This book gives astounding views of the foundations of religion and also interests intellectual readers that question faith over science. The Yogoda Satsanga Society of India published the new edition of this book in 2009 in paperback.

About the Author:

An educator and an intellectual Vedic astrologer, Swami Yukteswar is a member of the famous Giri branch, and is also known as Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri. His pathbreaking book, The Holy Science, received much accolades in the past and is currently being researched by the researchers at the Binary Research Institute.

Description for The Holy Science

About the Author

Swami Sri Yukteswar was born on May 10,1855, at Serampore in Bengal, India. Sri Yukteswar was a disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya and attained the spiritual stature of a Jnanavatar, or incarnation of wisdom.

Sri Yukteswar recognized that a synthesis of the spiritual heritage of the East with the science and technology of the West would do much to alleviate the material, psychological, and spiritual suffering of the modern world. These ideas were crystallized by his remarkable encounter with Mahavatar Babaji, the guru of Lahiri Mahasaya, in 1894.

It was to Swami Sri Yukteswar that Paramahansa Yogananda came as a youth. Under Sri Yukteswar’s spiritual training and discipline, Sri Yogananda was prepared to begin his worldwide mission in the West.

Swami Sri Yukteswar entered mahasamadhi on March 9, 1936. His book Kaivalya Darsanam, The Holy Science has been published in English and Hindi by Yogoda Satsanga Society of India and is available on Amazon.in

The Most Precious Work

26 April 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Yukteswar Giri (10 May 1855 - 9 March 1936) is the monastic name of Priya Nath Karar, the guru of Satyananda Giri and Paramahansa Yogananda. Yukteswar was an educator, astronomer, a Jyotisha (Vedic astrologer), a yogi, and a scholar of the Bhagavad Gita and the Bible. He was a disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya of Varanasi and a member of the Giri branch of the swami order. Yogananda considered Yukteswar as Jnanavatar, or "Incarnation of Wisdom"

The purpose of this book is to show as clearly as possible that there is an essential unity in all religions; that there is no difference in the truths inculcated by the various faiths; that there is but one method by which the world, both external and internal, has evolved; and that there is but one Goal admitted by all scriptures.

The work introduced many ideas that were revolutionary for the time — for instance Yukteswar broke from Hindu tradition in stating that the earth is not in the age of Kali Yuga, but has advanced to Dwapara Yuga. His proof was based on a new perspective of the precession of the equinoxes. He also introduced the idea that the sun takes a ‘star for its dual’, and revolves around it in a period of 24,000 years, which accounts for the precession of the equinox. Research into this theory is being conducted by the Binary Research Institute, which produced a documentary on the topic titled The Great Year, narrated by James Earl Jones. A sign of the ubiquity of Yukteswar's calculations in modern culture is that there is an iPhone Application for calculating them, just as there are calculators for currencies, lengths, areas and volumes.

The theory of the Sun's binary companion expounded by Yukteswar in The Holy Science has attracted the attention of David Frawley, who has written about it in several of his books on Astrology, Ayurveda and other Hindu Scriptures. According to Frawley, the theory offers a better estimate of the age of Rama and Krishna and other important historical Indian figures than other dating methods, which estimate some of these figures to have lived millions of years ago — belying accepted human history.

This is the most valuable book and it is very brief also. Everybody should read the book. Amazon's service is really appreciable. I found very valuable books with Amazon.

Concentrated blend of the scriptures in the sages own language

12 January 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A beautifully penned essence of the ancient scriptures like the Vedas and the Puranas that provides a clear directive of the krya yoga. (Wink wink..nudge nudge....has nothing to do with practicing yoga in the morning)
For the somewhat advanced reader.
