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.
