Echoes of Valor

Morrison, Nannette

Taking a page from his own life as a youngster, the author tells the story of Dr. Devi Lal, fleeing Burma as the Japanese invade with his family. They must leave behind their prosperous and happy life to traverse the mountains leading into India on foot, taking nothing with them. When they settle in western India they begin to rebuild their lives. But then the India/Pakistan divide occurs and they are Hindus in Muslim territory. Follow this family as they try to survive, stay true to their love of people of all faiths, and carve a new life in their changing world. Foreword Magazine says this book is "...extremely moving, a skilled storyteller combining suspense, coming-of-age themes and spirituality. The narrrative is compelling."

This beautiful Gaudiya Vaishnava classic, Sri Gauranga-Lilamrta, is an extremelyrare manuscript. The work is a result ofthe combined efforts of Srila VisvanathaChakravarti Thakura and his disciple, SrilKrishna Dasa. Srila Chakravartipada had composed the first eleven verses in Sanskrit, known as Sriman-Mahaprabhor-Ashta-Kaliya-Lila-Smarana-Mangala-Stotram, which are the seed verses or sütras that describe the eternal eightfold daily pastimes of the fair-complexioned Lord. His disciple, Sri Krishna Dasa, composed Bengali verses that expound on these elevenverses to give a fuller, more detailed picture of the Lord's daily schedule. This translation, by Dasaratha-Suta Dasa (ACBSP) brings this rare classic to the English audience in all its beauty-allowing us to follow a day in the life of the Golden Avatara.

This unique work was composed in 1731 A.D. by Sri Nayanananda Thakur. The word preyo is used in the Bhakti-rasamrita-sindhu as a synonym for sakhya (fraternity). Nayanananda Thakura was a resident of Mangala-dihi village, and hailed from the disciplic branch of the famous Sri Parni Gopal, who was the direct disciple of Lord Nityananda’s personal associate known as SriSundarananda Gopal. Sundarananda is celebrated as the incarnation of Sudama, one of the principal cowherd boys, who are eternal associates of Lord Balarama. These dear boyfriends incarnate on earth in order to sport with Balarama when He descends as Lord Nityananda during the performance of Gauranga-lila. This is described in the Sri Chaitanya- Charitamrita, Adi-lila, 11.13–48. The author’s composition naturally follows in the footsteps of Sudama. Therefore we find the ecstatic descriptions of a day in the life of the cowherd boys of Vraja.

Thakura, Sri Nayanananda

The founder Acharya of the Hare Krishna movement, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, was respected and loved by all his disciples. This love they had for him was not simply a formality, but a deep bond built on his kindness, compassion, and the loving dedication he showed to them, even while seriously training them in the science of Bhakti Yoga. A Bond of Love is a compilation of over 300 of his female disciples' memories about their personal interactions with Srila Prabhupada and how he influenced the rest of their lives.From an idea spawned by one of his early female disciples in 2008, the book slowly took form through the dedicated work of some of his spiritual daughters, and even some grand-daughters.Rarely does one find books written from the female disciples' perspective. As a result, this book gives a deeper understanding into how a bonafide and chaste sannyasa guru interacts lovingly yet properly with his female disciples.This is an inspiring retrospective showing how, while his female disciples' lives unfolded in numerous ways, their bond of love with their guru never wavered. Readers are quickly pulled into the heartfelt memories of these female disciples.While enlightening and uplifting to devotees of Srila Prabhupada, A Bond of Love is also an interesting sociological study of the minds of young women in the late 60s and how those who chose this spiritual path weathered the next fifty years.

This compilation of materials was collected faithfully over the years by Pranada devi dasi and to find all these materials separately would be a daunting task. Many of these materials are no longer available in other places. However, all are collected here for use as a definitive reference. The essays in this anthology will bring light to ISKCON members around the world. They are as applicable today as they were yesterday and can be used as a road map for ISKCON as it moves into the future. Many senior sisters and brothers, have poured out their wise hearts here, having thought deeply about this topic. They knew Srila Prabhupada and lived under his roof. In addition to essays, are letters, conference reports, articles, and more. This is not only an important book of history, but a useful resource - a veritable encyclopedia of responses to misconceptions about women and their role in Krishna consciousness. Refer regularly to this comprehensive reference and you will stand on solid ground in good company. For women ISKCON members of the present and into the future, I remind you of the true story of a young Vaishnavi who was sitting with Srila Prabhupada when he said to room full of his students, "I want all of my disciples to open temples." This 16-year old girl, a recent initiate, inquired, "Even the girls Swamiji?"Prabhupada responded, "Yes, why not? Even the girls."

Who can have a clearer vision of a great spiritual teacher than his personal servant? The servant lives with the guru, and is with the guru in all public and private moments. It is an exceptional vantage point from which to experience a great saint. Srutakirti dasa spent over two years in the personal service one of the most influential, charismatic, spiritual personalities in the history of the world: A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder/Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. At the age of Seventy, when people think of retiring and sitting at home peacefully with family; Srila Prabhupada set sail from India to America to bring the whole world under one roof-creating a global spiritual family. His journey of limitless compassion is very beautifully summarized in this book of meditations by Srutakirti dasa. Srila Prabhupada was a true Acharya-teaching by example, living the life he taught others to live. Srutakirti dasa allows us to enter the world Srila Prabhupada and gives us access to many public and private pastimes.
