Discover an alternate history to the human race as the authors of Forbidden Archeology challenge one of the most fundamental components of the modern scientific world view. Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson discuss the work of researchers who, over the past 2 centuries, have found bones and artifacts showing that people like ourselves existed on earth millions of years ago. They explain how the scientific establishment has ignored these remarkable facts because they contradict the dominant views of human origins and antiquity.

Throughout time, pure devotees of Lord Krishna have composed poetry describing devotional service to Him. This collection of poems reveals the heart and feeling of Srila Prabhupada, the Guru who first spread Krishna consciousness worldwide. "The froth upon the sea water arises one moment and disappear the next; the play of Maya;s wordly illusion is exactly like that." Section 4, Froth on the sea water."

Over the past two centuries, researchers have found bones and artifacts showing that people existed on earth millions of years ago. Deploying an unexpectedly great number of suppressed but convincing facts, Cremo and Thompson challenge readers to rethink their understanding of human origins, identity and destiny. Prejudices based on current scientific theory act as a 'knowledge filter', giving us a picture of prehistory that is largely inaccurate. This book reveals this hidden history. 69 illustrations.

Reprint. Love of God, Bhakti, is sometimes called the "storehouse of nectar," and there is nothing more magnificent or pleasing to the soul.

Ecclesiastes, the strangest book in the Bible, begins with a powerfully expressed argument that our life on earth is pointless, that we spend it working hard for vanity, for nothing better than vapor and then die and disappear into oblivion. Work for pleasure brings emptiness, says the speaker of the book, and seeking knowledge brings only greater frustration. The sun forever rises and sets, generations forever come and go, and there is nothing new under the sun. Vanity of vanities, cries the speaker. All is vanity! All is in vain.The power and eloquence with which this bleak view is explored, the beauty of the book's celebrated poem on time and seasons, the richness of the book's proverbial insights, and a refusal to settle for dogmatic platitudes have made Ecclesiastes a perennial classic. Hemingway, Tolstoy, and Melville, Orwell, Updike, and T.S. Eliot all drew from it. Shaw equated it with books by Shakespeare. Its lyrical To everything there is a season. . . became the much-loved song Turn! Turn! Turn! Thomas Wolfe wrote, I am not given to dogmatic judgments in the matter of literary creation, but if I had to make one, I could only say that Ecclesiastes is the greatest single piece of writing I have ever known, and the wisdom expressed in it the most lasting and profound. In the 1960s this wisdom profoundly moved a young Jewish American boy, starting him on a quest for meaning that led him to the Bhagavad-gita, India's quintessential text of spiritual wisdom.The Gita too begins with a collapse of meaning, as the warrior Arjuna finds himself at the brink of a war in which he must bear arms against his own teacher, family, and friends a war in which winning, he cries, would be worse than death.

The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself.

The teachings of Lord Chaitanya is a practical demonstration of the teachings of Lord Krishna, who at the end of the Bhagavad Gita, says that everyone should surrender unto Him, the supreme personality of Godhead. Lord Chaitanya therefore teaches us directly, that one has to worship Lord Krishna, because He is the absolute truth, and there is no difference between His name, quality, form, and pastimes. His teachings will help human society have a new light on spiritual life, opening the field activities of the pure soul.

Chapter summaries, Index, Original Sanskrit, Index, Word for word translated, full translation and purports. One of the most profound book that sums up the essence of all that Hindu philosophy stands for, the Bhagavad Gita, from the original Sanskrit version has been translated into several languages of the world. This Hindi version of the Bhagavad Gita has been translated by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a well known sanskrit scholar, spiritual leader and the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). In a world confronted by materialistic strife, terrorism and conflicts, the sermon that Lord Krishna gives his favourite disciple Arjuna in the midst of Kurukshetra battlefield where two large armies are ready to battle has come to occupy a central theme about the inner and outer conflict that mankind has faced ever since he evolved into a thinking being. Considered as the crux of all vedantic thought, Krishna urging Arjuna to do his duty and not shy away for the battle he faces, simply because the opposing army consists of cousins, uncles, gurus and other close relatives, lays emphasis on the theory of karma where the question of birth, death and rebirth are also debated. Consisting of eighteen chapters, all the 700 verses of the book have been translated in simple language that can be understood by any person who understands elementary Hindi. For authenticity, the original sanskrit verses have also been included in this edition. Meaning of the sanskrit words has been rendered in as elaborate a form as possible to make it as close as possible to the original meanings of the language. The book also is illustrated with some paintings of select scenes picked out of Mahabharata, the epic of which the Bhagavad Gita is just one part. Published in both Hindi and English, the deluxe edition comes in hardcover and has 600 pages in it.

Original Sanskrit, Word for word translation, Translation and purports. Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to His intimate devotee Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses (slokas) provide a definitive guide to the science of self-realization. Indeed no work even compares in its revelations of man's essential nature, his environment and ultimately his relationship with God. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries. The Gita is a conversation between Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna. At the last moment before entering a battle between brothers and friends, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder: Why should he fight? What is the meaning of his life?

Reprint. Introduction to Bhagavad-gita is a valuable companion to any edition of the Bhagavad-gita, and every bit as informative as the book it was intended to introduce. Srila Prabhupada wrote it in 1968 as his introduction to Bhagavad-gita As It Is—before he even knew if he'd be able to publish the entire Gita—and included within it the essence of all the Gita's teachings.He begins the Introduction by advocating "submissive aural reception" as the proper mood for being able to understand the Bhagavad-gita at all. If we think the Gita is just another book, he says, we're missing the point; its speaker, Krishna, is the Supreme Person Himself, and those who accept Him as such can get incalculable benefit from hearing His words. Introduction to Bhagavad-gita concisely explains all the Gita's major themes, such as the difference between the self and the material body, how to prepare to leave the body at death, and how our eternal dharma (essential nature) differs from what's known as "religion."

Reprint. The real you is not physical (the collection of elements we call the "body") but spiritual (the conscious self within the body). Our quality of life depends much more on the quality of our consciousness than it does on bodily pleasures or comforts. The quality of our consciousness goes up or down—resulting in happiness or distress—depending on how we see the world and act in it. Lasting happiness results from being ourselves—spiritual beings, subordinate parts of a supreme whole. But if we make the happiness of our temporary body and mind our life's priority, our consciousness shrinks; misery sets in. Spiritual elevation—raising our consciousness to higher, happier levels—happens quickly when we revive our God consciousness.
