Books By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada


Bhagavad-gita As It Is

Bhagavad-gita is the best known scripture of India. This particular edition is the most popular and authoritative in the world. It is praised by scholars for its faithful adherence to the spirit and text of the original- hence its name Bhagavad-gita As It Is.

At the dawn of the greatest single conflict of the age, Arjuna, the hero of the Pandava armies, wanted to view the opposing forces. In the midst of the battlefield, Arjuna was overcome with remorse and compassion at the thought of the imminent destruction and bloodshed. In his dejected and confused state, he turned to his dear friend Krsna and begged to understand the mysteries of life and death, of the soul, of duties and liberation. In answer, Lord Krsna spoke His Bhagavad-gita, or the song of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The lessons of the Bhagavad-gita build a strong, secure basis for spiritual understanding. From atma to the Universal Form, from sins to salvation, from karma to yoga, the lessons help us face, understand and resolve the all too familiar but insurmountable problems of our lives: having been born, helplessly forced to age, suffer disease and eventually die.

In this one-volume work, you will discover the essential prinicples of all Vedic knowledge:

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta is the authorized biography on the life and teachings of Caitanya Mahaprabhu originally written in the Bengali language. The glory of the Srimad-Bhagavatam is best understood through Lord Caitanya. His very life and teachings personify the Bhagavatam.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in 1486 and inaugurated a spiritual revolution in India. While the West was sowing the seed for the age of machine, Caitanya Mahaprabhu inaugurated a spiritual revolution in the east. Industrialization provided some physical comforts of life but at the expense of a morally degraded and very confused man-- replacing passing bodily discomforts for those of constant struggle and strife. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu left a legacy by which modern man could advance his consciousness, allowing him to use his new-found technology without the stresses and strains that go with it.

The biography takes you through the life, activities and teachings of the greatest single reformer in modern history. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's social reforms have inspired an entire movement of benefactors of mankind that has carried on to the present. Today, His mission is spread throughout every continent of the world in the form of the Hare Krsna movement.

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta retells the life of Caitanya Mahaprabhu whose every act was sublime, who displayed the highest ecstatic love of God and who established the directly perceivable reality of spiritual life
