Humbler Than a Blade of Grass by Srila Bhaktipada
Humility is to Virtue what the chain is to the rosary. Remove the
chain and all the beads escape. Take away humility and all virtues
disapear. The "LoveResolute" which turns common earth into gold and Hell into
Heaven is humility. Therefore, take the humble position at Krishna's
Lotus Feet. Then all that you do is of infinite value and eternal endurance.

Eternal Love by Kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada
Aware of it or not, people are always searching for eternal love- usually
in vain. Now Srila Bhaktipada points the way in 108 meditations, including
conversations with Paramatma, the Lord in the heart.
In an age when those who talk do not know, and those who know do not
talk, Srila Bhaktipada dares to listen to a higher authority and communicate
lucid answers. Based on the personal realizations of a lifetime of
devotion, Eternal Love – like the writing of Rupa Goswami, St.
John of the Cross and Thomas a Kempis – belongs to those religious
classics that come along every two or three centuries.
1985, 248 pages, soft cover.

Heart of the Gita by Swami Bhaktipada
This is the first time this great classic has been rendered into English
as a poem. Revered by Gandhi, respected by Thoreau, Emerson, Einstein,
Schweitzer and a host of other great thinkers, the Bhagavad Gita is now
available in a beautiful poetic version. The Gita, a 5000 year old Sanskrit
sacred text is a song, a magnificent poem in one of the oldest languages
known. People who appreciate poetry understand how difficult it is to
render a poem into another language.
Swami Bhaktipada, a renowned religious leader and consummate scholar
who was initiated into the teachings of this sacred text thirty years
ago has made it available to the English-speaking public in an exquisite
poetic version with a non-sectarian commentary written especially for
Westerners. Father Bede Griffiths, author of "River of Compassion" writes
the foreword to this spiritual and literary gem and claims: "Swami
Bhaktipada's version of the Gita is unique in that he has taken the
most prominent verses of the Gita and translated them into English
verse. This itself is quite remarkable, and has been carried out with
extraordinary skill. This gives liveliness to the translation, which
is then filled out by a commentary bringing out the full significance
of the verse. This commentary is ecumenical in character, allowing
for the insights of both Christianity and Buddhism. It is therefore
a model of what we seek today being at once faithful to its own unique
tradition and yet universal in its understanding of the Truth".

Spiritual Warfare by Swami Bhaktipada
How to gain victory in the struggle for spiritual perfection. The Supernatural Dialogue begun in Eternal Love continues. But this
time, the stakes are higher.
Soul: Dear Lord, when will this war ever end?
Lord: A real warrior never wants the war to end. Fighting for Me
is the greatest privilege and joy a soul can have. O my child, this
fight will last until your dying day. If you lower your guard, you
will be slain.
Soul: But why must this battle always rage so intently, my Lord?
Lord: Fear not, My child. Despite the enemy's strength and numbers,
Maya cannot herself defeat you. He alone is lost who voluntarily surrenders.
The fate of the enemy always remains in your hands. Not only will I
protect you from her attack, but I will give you victory in the end.

Joy of No Sex by Swami Bhaktipada
The title of this book often causes people to smile ironically. However,
many people who recognize that sexual addiction is as troublesome and
depleting as any other addiction will welcome this small treatise on
the subject of Sex. Additionally, this little book actually teaches us
how relationships really exist on different levels of pleasure, the lowest
and most animalistic being the sensual. Above that platform is the mental
where sentiment supersedes the sensual; above that is the intellectual
where agreement on the platform of philosophical discrimination supersedes
the sensual and sentimental, the pleasure of agreement on self image
and a projection social, political and professional aspirations supersedes
the others. Finally, the highest level relationships occur at the spiritual
level, where the pleasure of dedicating our lives together to the mission
of revealing the eternal to each other, transcend all other realms bringing
us to the topmost realization of eternal happiness.
