Kaivalya Darsanam: The Holy Science

Kaivalya Darsanam (The Holy Science)

Sri Yukteswar, retrato de la primera edición de la Autobiografía
bySri Yukteswar

A treatise in four chapters—the Gospel, the Goal, the Procedure and the Revelation—that sets out Samkhya cosmology and yogic practice through commented Sanskrit aphorisms and places them alongside passages from the New Testament and Revelation. It argues that all religions share a single goal and describes five states of the heart through which the seeker advances, guided by the 'heart's natural love'. Its introduction proposes a 24,000-year cycle of yugas, tied to a hypothetical companion star of the Sun, and places humanity in an ascending Dvapara: the most famous and most disputed part of the book.

Authorship note

Written in 1894 in English, with Sanskrit aphorisms composed by the author. It first appeared in instalments in the journal *Sadhusambad*; in 1920 Atul Chandra Chowdhury printed it as a book; since 1949 Self-Realization Fellowship has published a revised version (Bengali terminology replaced by Sanskrit, grammar corrected, introduction modified), to which in 1963 it added a translation of the sutras.
