About this title

Synopsis

An amplification of Paramahansa Yogananda's 1920 maiden speech in America, given at the International Congress of Religious Liberals in Boston. With penetrating logic, Yogananda reveals the spiritual yearning that lies behind all human striving. Fulfilment of that ultimate longing for transcendence, he explains, is attainable through a science as universal and practical as the sciences on which we rely for material knowledge and attainments. No book better explains true religion. Paramahansa Yogananda's THE SCIENCE OF RELIGION attracts readers of all faiths with its inclusive approach. Stripping away the cloaks of dogma and doctrine, Yogananda answers with a compelling logic the most universally asked questions about the purpose and meaning of life.
