The holy science.

by Yukteswar Swami

Sri Yukteswar’s The Holy Science—Expanded with Insights for Today This complete edition presents Sri Yukteswar Giri’s spiritual classic alongside new commentary that makes his timeless wisdom more accessible than ever. Inside, you’ll discover: The Five Stages of the Heart — how consciousness evolves through the heart, now echoed in modern studies of heart-brain coherence. The Yugas and Cosmic Cycles — the rise and fall of civilizations guided by cosmic time. Unity of All Religions — parallels between the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, and universal spiritual truths. Symbolism of Seven — a key theme in creation, from the chakras to the rainbow. Breath, Sleep, and Reincarnation — how pranayama and mahanidra relate to liberation. Bridging ancient wisdom with modern science, this edition offers both the full original text and clear explanations of Yukteswar’s profound teachings. Whether you are a devoted seeker, a student of yogic philosophy, or simply curious about life’s deeper truths, this book is a guide to spiritual evolution and inner transformation. "The five sorts of electricity, being evolved from the heart, and with their two poles of intelligence and mind, form the seven-colored rainbow. The spiritual eye reflects these lights, and when fully purified, it reveals the path to Divine Truth." — Sri Yukteswar Giri
