What if the most famous teacher in history was teaching yoga all along-and the proof is hidden in a single word he spoke?
BOOK DESCRIPTION
When Jesus said, Take my yoke upon you, he was not handing his followers a burden. On the plain evidence of language, he was inviting them into yoga.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
When Jesus said, Take my yoke upon you, he was not handing his followers a burden. On the plain evidence of language, he was inviting them into yoga.
The English word yoke and the Sanskrit word yoga are not merely similar-they are the same word, both descending from a single ancient root meaning to join, to unite. Once you see it, the entire Gospel reopens. The single eye becomes the third eye. Take no thought becomes a meditation instruction. The kingdom Jesus said is within you becomes exactly what the yogis have always sought.
In Take My Yoke, Michael Shenher makes a bold and meticulously argued case: that Jesus was a master of the inner science, and that the Bible-read for the spirit rather than the letter-is a manual of meditation, union, and awakening. Drawing on scripture and etymology, the eight limbs of Patanjali's yoga, the esoteric symbolism of Exodus, the serpent, and the chakras of Revelation, and the modern rediscovery of this inner Christ by the New Thought teachers, the book reveals a hidden continuity running from the Upanishads through Galilee to the present day.
For anyone raised in the Christian West who found their way to yoga and meditation-and quietly wondered whether they had to choose-this book offers reconciliation. The path Jesus taught and the path of yoga are not two. They are one. And the kingdom is, as it has always been, within.
