In them, Gandhi addresses the issues he felt most directly affected the spiritual lives of common people.

Namita Gokhale and Malashri Lal, who brought us In Search of Sita: Revisiting Mythology, now present an anthology on the mysterious Radha, the epitome of love, who defies all conventional codes yet transcends social prohibitions through the power of the spiritual and the sensual, the sacred and the erotic.

Deeply affected by the death of his entire platoon in the Vietnam War, Lance Corporal Brian Tibbitts embarked upon the pursuit of the real meaning and purpose of life. To his dismay, none of the major spiritual and religious texts he read could fully answer his questions, until he found Bhagavad-gita As It Is and met its author, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. At the age of twenty-one, Brian Tibbitts became his disciple, and at the age of twenty-nine, became Indradyumna Swami when he entered the renounced order of life.

God is love. God is everything. God is guru. The guru is not of this world, even though he created it, and we won’t be able to leave this world of limitation without him. To succeed, we need his grace. We will obtain it by knowing him intimately in the depth of our own being. And there is no greater way to achieve that than to hear the divine Sri Guru Gita and the profound wisdom imparted by the Satguru himself: Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda.

Sita, the beloved princess of Mithila, is one of the most revered women in Indian history; so well known, yet probably the least understood. At every crossroad of her life, she chose acceptance and grace over self-pity. Her life was filled with sacrifice yet wherever she was, there was abundance. It was as if she was carved out of an intense longing for Rama, yet she had infinite patience.

The Bhagavad Gītā recounts a profound dialogue between Arjuna, a conflicted warrior, and his humble charioteer, who is in fact the Lord Himself. The message Kṛṣṇa delivered on a battlefield more than 5000 years ago is just as relevant today because it awakens the soul to mankind’s true nature and reason for being. His instructions have stood the test of time and provide the knowledge to help us triumph over the obstacles we face in our lives.

In Meri Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary listener. His unique approach - thematic rather than verse-by-verse - makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible.In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self.

ભગવાન શ્રીકૃષ્ણ કોઈ સામાન્ય વ્યક્તિ નથી, પરંતુ સાક્ષાત્ પરમ ઈશ્વર છે, જેમણે આ ધરાધામમાં અવતાર લીધો. તેઓ પિતા વસુદેવ અને માતા દેવકીના પુત્ર છે, એમનું પાલન-પોષણ યશોદા અને નંદે કર્યું. શ્રીકૃષ્ણ સોળ કળાઓથી સમ્પન્ન, રાગ-વિરાગની ભાવનાથી પૂર્ણ તેમજ વિરુદ્ધ સ્થિતિઓમાં સંતુલિત રહેવાની પ્રેરણા આપવાવાળા દૂરદર્શી તેમજ ક્રાંતિદર્શી મહામાનવ હોવાની સાથે-સાથે મહાભારત તેમજ ભગવદ્ગીતાના પ્રતિપાદ્ય છે.

What we experience as “waking consciousness” is only a fraction of the total scope of consciousness available to us. This audiobook will introduce you to the concept of turiya, or pure consciousness, and explain how you can tap into this vast storehouse of knowledge and awareness. Most of us go through life without ever suspecting that there’s a higher level of consciousness that we can access. We’re content to go about our lives, day in and day out, without questioning reality's true nature. But what if there was more to consciousness than what we’re currently aware of?

Sexuality and spirituality are inextricably linked in the mythology and texts of ancient India. At the heart of this culture's teachings are sensuous stories of the gods making love that demonstrate the power and purpose of human passion. In Erotic Spirituality and the Kamasutra, Wendy Doniger guides us through India's seductive tales and hidden insights into the art of living and lovemaking.
