Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God

Uses the beauty of verse to express the highest truths of Vedanta. Includes an introduction to the Gita, and a study of non-violence versus the need to fight a just war. The critics have singled out this translation: The book is self-contained. A complete stranger to the Hindu Gospel can pick it up and in one or two evenings follow the poem from its terrific beginnings to its sublime end. -- New York Times

The Spiritual Heritage of India is a brief history of the philosophy of a country that has never distinguished philosophy from religion. The account extends from centuries of which there is no historical record to the recent Sri Ramakrishna revival of the ancient Vedanta. This book brings together in one volume the spiritual magnificence of the sacred books such as the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita, three ancient Indian scriptures which are the foundation of the Hindu spiritual heritage. In connection with each of the subjects taken up the author supplies sufficient quotation from the texts concerned, as incidental illustration and sometimes also as appended passages, to give body and force to the exposition. His approach is clear and practical, and at the same time profound and richly poetic.This book takes the reader on a journey through the wisdom enshrined in these celebrated classics. This book is both an excellent introduction for readers who are coming to the subject for the first time, and a series of meditations for those who already know it well. The author has ably entered into these ancient Indian treasure-houses of spirituality and offer their ancient wisdom to the modern spiritual seeker.

Spiritual Heritage of India

Follow some spiritual discipline for at least three years, and then, if you find you have made no tangible progress, you may come back and slap my face. With these startling words, Swami Brahmananda urges us to practice spiritual living. The swami's words come from many years associating with Sri Ramakrishna, the great saint of India. We find here a treasure house of direction and inspiration. This title is indeed a guidebook for spiritual practices.

LOVE has a divine essence, We experience this to some degree in all our human relationships since the love that we feel for one another is actually the attraction of God dwelling within. This love can lead us to God-realization, for, as the ancient sage Narada teaches, God is love. Narada's Bhakti Sutras are the most important Hindu text on the path of love, or Bhakti-Yoga. By directing our passions towards God, we discover that it is possible to have a relationship with God. The relationship deepens until finally we realize that we are never separate from God -- our true, divine nature is simply waiting to be revealed.
