The Holy Science: Kaivalya Darshanam

The Holy Science – The Original 1920 Edition (Kaivalya Darshanam)Written in 1894 by Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, the revered Guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, The Holy Science (Kaivalya Darshanam) is a profound treatise that bridges the ancient wisdom of the East with the modern scientific understanding of the world. This original 1920 edition, first published in its entirety in Calcutta, has been carefully restored for readers seeking the purest version of this timeless work.

It offers a clear and structured explanation of the Yugas, deep insights into the nature of creation, Divine Consciousness, and liberation, and a rare glimpse into the spiritual teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Guru.
