Upon hearing that there is a repetitive cycle of birth and death any sane person would be like “I have to do this all over again?!” The good news is that no. You’re meant to live forever as an individual and have a fulfilled life in an eternal blissful relationship with Krishna and His associates, in this life and the next. Srila Prabhupada explains how you’re not supposed to “do it all again”, in fact, you’re supposed to get out of this nightmare. Isn’t it an existential paradox how we like to say things like “love you forever”, “eternity”, “happily ever after”? It triggers the intrinsic eternal nature of the soul. So from reincarnation, dualities of the material world, threefold miseries, and misguiding bodily identification to sat-cit-ananda, Srila Prabhupada takes us on an extensive journey from material to the blissful, effulgent spiritual realm. The infallible Vedas, the instruction manual of the universe, delivered by a bonafide guru, His Divine Grace, will equip us all with all the knowledge, tools, instructions, and instruments to go beyond birth and 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.

Who doesn’t like to travel in 21st century? You’ll be pleased to know that we as spirit souls are capable of much more than just traveling as we please wherever we want in and out of space. Not paying a single penny. “The soul is a spiritual spark which is many, many times more illuminating, dazzling and powerful than sun, moon or electricity.” The book starts off as a response to one scientific exploration and then goes on into explaining what the science of bhakti says about space-travel. Bhakti-yoga’s techniques are so much more superior than futile time-and-money-wasting modern methods, although from the perspective of self-discipline and self-purification it may seem to be quite hard and difficult at first. However, the nature of the soul is so powerful and pure that for a simple and sincere practitioner it becomes much easier than the laborious exhausting endeavors of the material realm.
