Bhagavad gita as it is

The *Bhagavad Gita* is one of the most revered spiritual texts in the world, central to Hindu philosophy and culture. Composed as a dialogue between the prince Arjuna and the god Krishna, who serves as his charioteer, the Gita is set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra during a moment of deep moral and existential crisis. Spanning 700 verses, the *Bhagavad Gita* addresses profound questions about duty, righteousness, and the nature of reality. It explores themes such as the immortality of the soul, the importance of selfless action, the path to spiritual liberation (moksha), and the different forms of yoga, or paths to union with the Divine—specifically karma yoga (the path of action), bhakti yoga (the path of devotion), and jnana yoga (the path of knowledge). The Gita's teachings have inspired countless individuals across various traditions and disciplines, offering guidance on how to live a meaningful life, achieve inner peace, and understand one's place in the cosmos. Its universal message transcends religious boundaries, making it a timeless and relevant text for all seekers of truth.

Krsna The Master Of All Mystics

'One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men, and he is ip the transcendental position, although engaged in all sorts of activities.' 'A person is said to be still further advanced when he regards all-the honest well-wisher, friends and enemies, the envious, the pious, the sinner and those who are indifferent and impartial-with an equal mind.' '0 Arjuna, I control heat, the rain and the drought. I am immortality, and I am also death personified. Both being and nonbeing are in Me' 'The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this.' Sri Krsna This amazing audiobook tells the story of Krsna's life from the Srimad-Bhagavatam, the summit of the ancient Vedas of India. It is presented as a collection of beautiful short stories forming a biography of the life of Krsna, who was present in India five thousand years ago. The stories develop from Krsna's birth to His childhood and youth. Krsna plays with His boyfriends in the forest while looking after the cows and calves and incidentally, He kills so many demons. On some full-moon nights, He dances with Radha and His beautiful girlfriends, the gopis in the rasa lila. Since time immemorial, yogis have sought even a momentary vision of Krsna, Sri Krsna descended to earth from his transcendental abode five thousand years ago and revealed His eternal spiritual pastimes. The sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded those pastimes in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Here is the summary study of the Bhagavatam's essence, the tenth Canto, and is the first comprehensive exposition in English of those extraordinary events.

Queen Kunti / Divine Yogini: Mistress Of Devotional Yoga

Queen Kunti, a tragic and heroic figure, emerges from an explosive era in the history of ancient India. Her teachings are simple and illuminating outpourings revealing the deepest transcendental emotions of the heart and the deepest philosophical and theological penetrations of the intellect. Kunti is a major figure in the history of the ancient world. The wife of world emperor Pandu and mother of the warrior Arjuna—to whom Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-gita—she appears again and again in historical epics such as the Mahabharata and Srimad-Bhagavatam. Like other enlightened leaders of her time, her worldview was informed by a thorough understanding of Vedic wisdom literature. Thus she understood that Sri Krishna—Who happened to be her nephew—was none other than the Absolute Truth in person, appearing on earth to establish righteous rule over the planet. At the conclusion of the devastating battle of Kurukshetra, Queen Kunti approaches Krishna as He prepares to depart for his home city of Dwaraka. Kunti's spontaneous glorification of Krishna and her description of the spiritual path appear in the First Canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Srila Prabhupada wrote his translation and commentary on the First Canto in 1962—before coming to the West—but in a series of lectures given in the spring of 1973 in Los Angeles, he analyzed Queen Kunti's prayers in significantly greater detail and shed even more light upon them. If truth be told from the dawn of creation it has been the female energy which from all life springs, is sustained, and propels us on in our timeless evolutionary journey to self. The powerful positive Shakti of the feminine energy invigorates, inspires, and enhances the finer propensities of life and reveals the subtle secrets of existence via its indivisible healing continence.
