This book is addressed to serious Biblical students, Christians who are interested in comparing Eastern spiritual teachings with those of Christianity, and students of spiritual Yoga, otherwise known as Classical Yoga and Tantra, as well as students and practitioners of meditation and other spiritual disciplines. The discoveries of ancient manuscripts, and their analysis by independent critical scholars using scientific methods, provide much insight into the original teachings of Jesus. The sayings of Jesus, circulated orally during the first decades following his crucifixion are probably the most authentic source of his teachings that we have available today. These sayings are limited to a few dozen parables, aphorisms and sharp retorts, which were repeated in the oral tradition for two or three decades before they were eventually recorded by the anonymous writers of the Gospels. Remarkably, what Jesus taught through his parables and sayings exactly parallels the yogic teachings of the Yoga Siddhas. For those seeking to apply the wisdom of these sayings in their own life, the implications are clear. Seek not to know about God; instead, seek to know God through higher states of consciousness.

Nobody in the West is as famous and as unknown as Jesus, despite our culture being built around His teachings."Yogic teachings of Jesus" compares the mystical teachings of Jesus with essential texts from the yogic tradition of the Siddhas from India. Raised in a strict Catholic culture, the author felt the need of integrating the figure and teachings of Jesus with his practice of Yoga. So he wrote this book to reconcile both views, for himself and for others in a similar situation. The wisdom of the Siddhas, the masters of Yoga, allows us to reencounter Jesus' direct and radical message, a message that still moves us, even after two thousand years. Through "Yogic teachings of Jesus," the reader can meet the Beloved teacher, and rediscover the freshness of His words, the "living waters" of Truth, beyond limited interpretations. It is also a great introduction to Yoga for Christian people.This book proposes a trip that, travelling through Orient, ends in our own heart, the place in where, according to the Master, the Kingdom of Heaven lives.
