Raja-vidya:
The King of Knowledge
This knowledge is the king of
education, the most secret of all
secrets. It is the purest knowledge,
and because it gives direct perception
of the self by realization, it is
the perfection of religion. It is
everlasting, and it is joyfully performed.

Elevation to Krishna Consciousness
In India all scriptures and great
spiritual teachers, including Shankaracharya,
an impersonalist, accept Krishna as
the Supreme Lord. In the beginning
of his commentary on the Bhagavad-gita,
Shankaracharya says that Narayana
is transcendental to this manifested
and un manifested creation, and in
the same commentary he says that the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana,
is Krishna appearing as the son of
Devaki and Vasudeva. Thus in this
respect there is littel difference
of opinion about Krishna. Those who
are authorities, be they personalist
or impersonalists, are in agreement
that Krishna is the Supreme Lord.

Krishna
Consciousness: The Matchless Gift
Those who thus see Krishna are
not anxious because they know where
they are going at death. One who has
taken the gift of Krishna consciousness
knows that he will not have to return
to this material world to take another
body but that he will go to Krishna.
It is not possible to go Krishna unless
one attains a body like Krishna's,
a sac-cid-ananda-vigraha body, a body
full of eternity, knowledge and bliss.
One cannot enter into fire and not
perish unless he himself becomes fire,
and similarly one cannot enter into
the spiritual realm in a body that
is not spiritual. In a spiritual body
one can dance with Krishna in the
rasa dance like the gopis and the
cowherd boys. This is not an ordinary
dance, but the dance of eternity,
in the association of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Only those
who have become purified in their
love for Krishna can participate in
it. One therefore should not take
this process of Krishna consciousness
as something cheap, but as a matchless
gift bestowed upon suffering humanity
by the Lord Himself. Simply by engaging
in this process, all the anxieties
and fears of one's life, which in
actuality revolve about the fear of
death, are allayed.

The
Narada-bhakti-sutra (with disciples)
Learn
the Secrets of Transcendental Love....
In the
Narada-bhakti-sutra it is said that
one who is very serious about developing
Krishna consciousness has his desire
to understand Krishna fulfilled very
soon by the grace of the Lord.
There
is a particular charm to the Narada-bhakti-sutra
in its brevity, universality, and
emphasis on total surrender to Lord
Krsna. The aphorisms are strong and
can be easily remembered and confidently
quoted in devotional discussions and
preaching.

A Second Chance
The story of a Near-Death Experience
At
the final hour.................
The
law of karma states that we're all
responsible for our actions, and death
is the crucial moment when mysterious
forces acting according to this law
work behind the scenes to determine
our destiny.
At
a time when reincarnation is quickly
gaining acceptance, not only with
the growing ranks of people reporting
out-of-body and near-death experiences
but with the public at large, A Second
Chance is indispensable to our daily
lives.
This
amazing narrative is based on an ancient
book of Eastern wisdom called Srimad-Bhagavatam.
It shows us how we can employ the
techniques of meditation and bhakti-yoga
to overcome the obstacles of materialism,
meet the challenge of death, and ultimately
attain spiritual perfection.

The
Laws of Nature
An Infallible Justice - FOR EVERY
ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE
REACTION
Beg, steal or borrow, bribe or cheat,
somehow or other get money and enjoy.
Or at least survive.
In the crazy rush to get ahead at
any cost, do we ever stop to consider
that we might-just might-be held responsible
for our actions? What if the hellish
punishments described in the scriptures
are actually true?
In '
The Laws of Nature', Srila Prabhupada
explains what is sin, and who gets
punished for what. The conclusion
is unavoidable: most people are headed
for a very unpleasant future.
It's
no joke. Maybe you should read this
book. And find out what to do to clean
up your life, Before it's too late.

Renunciation
Through Wisdom
The
teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
are summarized in the phrase vairagya-vidya-nija-bhakti-yoga,
which means "renunciation through
the wisdom that comes from practicing
devotional service unto the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna."
What is this wisdom which produces
renunciation? When one experiences
the nectar of devotional service and
becomes steeped in the knowledge of
the Vedic literature, one naturally
becomes averse to sense gratification
and attains freedom from all material
bondage.
