Description:

The book is a collection of His Holiness's teachings, gathered by one of his disciples.
His Holiness's discourses on Hindu Religion and Dharma, which were simple in language and lucid in exposition, were punctuated with homely illustrations, and had the power to convince the doubting and convert the sceptic, coming as he did, in the succession of authentic tradition, his is the classical view of Hindu Dharma in its pristine purity.

    • ISBN-13: 978-8187812715
    DESCRIPTION:
    Back of the Book: At the time of the Norman Conquest a revolution took place in the religious life of medieval India. A ware of devotion to Visnu, the one Supreme Lord of the Vedas, spread across the entire subcontinent. Spearheading this movement was a philosopher, saint and devotee – Ramanuja. Herein is described his life and teachings, his struggles against prejudice and persecution, and above all his purity and deep love of God.

    From the Jacket : Ramanujacarya (1017-1137) was the principal acarya in the Sri Sampradaya, one of the four main lines of Vaisnava teachers and disciples. His Vedanta-sutra commentary – Sri-bhasya-establishes the doctrine knows as Visistadvaita, “qualified nondualism.” A staunch proponent of the philosophy of personalism, he taught that although the Supreme Lord and the individual souls are qualitatively one, there is still a difference between them, for the Lord is infinite and the living entities are infinitesimal. Srila Ramanujacarya traveled extensively throughout India, teaching personalism and defeating proponents of monistic philosophy.

    He founded seventy-four centers of Sri Vaisnavism and initiated seven hundred sannyasis (renounced monks), twelve thousand brahmacharis (celibate students), and thousands of householders, including kings and wealthy landowners.

    Preface : Great saints and devotees of the Lord give purpose to this material world and its history by their presence; their absence renders this world use- less and its history a chronological record of non- sense. By providing another glimpse into the ways that pure devotees transform the lives of materialistic people and alter the course of history, Naimisaranya Prabhu has done great service to all English readers, especially Vaisnavas and aspiring Vaisnavas. Without such information, people tend to doubt or forget that another plane, beyond the mundane, exists and even controls the destiny of that mundane plane. In the examples they set in their lives, however, saintly persons help us to see the path to Krsna consciousness. "Example is better than precept." The philosophy of Krsna consciousness remains inaccessible except by the mercy of the pure devotees whose behavior gives three dimensions to such philosophy.

    Only the hearts of unfortunate persons will not melt upon reading or hearing this moving depiction of the life of Srila Ramanujacarya. The nectarean subject matter and the competent rendering by Naimisaranya Prabhu combine to produce genuine spiritual effects within the mind. I hope Naimisaranya Prabhu will continue producing such illuminating accounts of the lives of great devotees.

    DESCRIPTION:
    Introduction

    As indicated at the end of book, it was compiled by the author soon after Lord Caitanya's disappearance and was read by many of the Lord's associates, including Advaita Acarya and Srivasa Thakura, and they all greatly appreciated it. As indicated in a purport by Srila Prabhupada to the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta of Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami: "By this time (of the compilation of the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta), contemporary and near-contemporary scholars and devotees had already written several biographical works on the life of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. There included Sri Caitanya-carita, by Murari Gupta, Caitanya-mangala, by Locana dasa Thakura, and Caitanya-bhagavata.

    It is very interesting to note that the other biographies of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu utilized the notebooks of Murari Gupta for their information, thus indicating that all the great associates of the Lord Accept his account as accurate and reliable. In a purport to the Srimad-Bhagavatam, Srila Prabhupada wrote: The Lord's early life was recorded by one of His chief devotees and contemporaries, namely Srila Murari Gupta, a medical practitioner of that time, and the latter part of the life of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was recorded by His private secretary Sri Damodara Gosvami, or Srila Svarupa Damodara, who was practically a constant companion of the Lord at Puri. These two devotees recorded practically all the incidents of the Lords activities, and later on all the books dealing with the Lord, which are above mentioned, were composed on the basis of kadacas (notebooks) by Srila Damodara Gosvami and Murari Gupta.

    ASIN: B001KH3W48

    DESCRIPTION:

    This book contains thirty-two excerpts from lectures on Srimad-Bhagavatam given by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, who was the founder of Sri Caitanya Math and its branches, the Gaudiya Maths. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura was the most prominent preacher of Lord Caitanya's teachings in the early 20th century because he expertly refuted all false conclusions that came in the way of the philosophy established by Sri Rupa Gosvami. For Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, Srimad-Bhagavatam was the original and primary evidence for establishing all conclusive truths. He endorsed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's philosophy, which had been accepted and preached by the six Gosvamis of Vrndavana. These explanations of Srimad-Bhagavatam were published in the weekly Gaudiya magazine during Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura's time. Later on, they were republished in the monthly Gaudiya magazine in 1964-65. Now, they have appeared in the form of this book. We hope that the readers will relish the preaching of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura found in this book and thus more firmly establish their convictions in Krishna consciousness.

    God made all men equal, and His divine spark animates every being He created. All men are equal, and yet there are chosen few whom we call 'Men of God'. Why are they special? What makes these men and women the chosen of the Lord? What makes us venerate them as saints, mahatmas and spiritual leaders?

    The answer is simple: they become chosen of the Lord because they chose the Lord above all else. They made bhakti, devotion, the foundation of their life. To whichever faith or denomination they belonged, they chose to do good to all. They chose truth, goodness, compassion, simplicity, service and sacrifice - and attained an exalted
    status among men.

    In the Fourth Volume of this ongoing series, Dada J.P.Vaswani introduces to us a few more of these saintly souls, each one of them are guides and saviours of humanity. Himself a universalist and a great spiritual leader whose religion of love and unity transcends all narrow creeds, Rev. Dada helps us touch the very heart of the mystery,
    the great spiritual shakti that these saints represent.

    Mirabai is a legendary literary and spiritual figure. Born a princess in Rajasthan in 1498, Mira (as she is more commonly known) eschewed the marriage her royal family had arranged for her, celebrating instead her right to independence and intense devotion to Krishna in both her life and poetry. In this collection, two acclaimed poets, Robert Bly and Jane Hirshfield, have created lively English versions of Mirabai’s poems, using fresh images and energetic rhythms to make them accessible to modern readers.

    The song of the flute, O sister, is madness.
    I thought that nothing that was not God could hold me,

    O flute, what were your vows, what is your practice?
    What power sits by your side?
    Even Mira’s Lord is trapped in your seven notes.

    Back of The Book

    When the rumblings of foreign assaults on India’s ancient Sanatana-dhrma began with Muhammad bin Qasim’s defeat of Raja Dahir of Sindh in 711 A.D., the land remained splintered politically. The times were not promising for bringing the national together in any manner. Just then, the gift of resurgence and spiritual unification came with the advent of Adi Sankara in 788 A.D. Renouncing material life, he mastered India’s ancient lore and cleared the cobwebs that obscured the Eternal Religion and interpreted cruicial scriptures like the Brahma-Sutra, the Upanisads and the Gita in the
    light of Advaita Vedanta. Understanding the need of the aspirants to reach out to the Unknown through the known, Adi Sankara inaugurated the vast area of stotra literature, which remains the common man’s gateway tot eh Divine every today.

    About The Book

    Structured as a concise introduction to the varied writings of the greatest Advaitic philosopher the world has known, Adi Sankara: Finite to the Infinite recounts his life and travels. The individual writings are discussed to show how he was the father of the commentatorial tradition for which India is famous. What emerges in the end is an inspiring figure of an intrepid scholar, an illustrious teacher, a visionary administrator and a superb poet. Certainly, we have in Adi Sankara’s personality the much-needed motivation for the youth of today who are building the new India.

    DESCRIPTION:
    New Enlarged Edition Though he is considered one of the foremost of India's philosophers, Shankara is also one of the most misunderstood. Much of the misunderstanding of Shankara's position may be due to the absence of a lucid presentation of his life and works in a comprehensive and readable form. This short monograph is an attempt to meet that need for the benefit of those who have no previous acquaintance with philosophy. Shankara was one of the most subtle of Indian philosophers, and though for him intellectual dexterity was not an end in itself, the reader will find some reasoning worthy of his steel in the following pages.
