The Life of Jesus: Deeper Teachings for the Yogi (Online class)

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA, 94306 United States (map)

Four-week series • Mar 5th - Mar 26th (Online offering)

Rediscover the ancient and powerful story of Jesus with renewed inspiration and more profound understanding as we prepare to enter the Easter season!

The life and teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in the Bible have inspired millions and have defined the spiritual course of the Western world for centuries.

As attested by Yogananda and other great saints, Jesus was a Yogi, and his teachings reflected the same wisdom and truth as other great religions and, especially, the timeless Hindu scriptures of the East.

Yogananda's mission to the West was to revive Jesus's emphasis on direct communion with the divine as the ultimate purpose of all spiritual practices.

This class series is for anyone seeking to dive into and find inspiration from the life of Jesus and the stories presented in the Christian Bible through the Yogic lens.

We will walk with Christ through various life events, from his birth to his return to the holy land as a young man, his mission and miracles he performed, and, finally, his return to Jerusalem, crucifixion, and resurrection.

With inspiration from the writings of Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda, and with music written by Swami Kriyananda we will tune into his living presence within us.

This class will be offered online as Nayaswami Sagar will teach from Ananda Village and Saiganesh from Ananda Palo Alto.

The last class (March 26th) will take place live in the Ananda temple in Palo Alto (also online) and will include portions of music, chantings, and ways to participate live.
