Šrí Šrímad A. Č. Bhaktivédanta Swami Prabhupáda Libri

Since time immemorial, yogis, sages, and mystics have forsaken the pleasures of the ordinary world and gone to secluded places to meditate, eager to attain even a momentary vision of Lord Sri Krsna. To help the realization and remembrance of those who wished to fully absorb their consciousness in Him, Sri Krsna descended to earth from His transcendental abode five thousand years ago and revealed His eternal spiritual pastimes. The great sage Vyasadeva carefully recorded those pastimes in his Sanskrit writings, headed by Srimad-Bhagavatam, the crown jewel of all Vedic literature. “Krsna” is Srila Prabhupada's summary study of the Bhagavatam's essence -- its Tenth Canto -- and is thus the first comprehensive exposition in English of those extraordinary events. These stories transport the reader from the mundane and commonplace, beckoning him to participate in a miraculous journey to a transcendental realm beyond space and time, a realm where everything and everyone ! lives in the blissful light of the Supreme Absolute, an eternal transcendental youth -- Lord Sri Krsna, the ultimate object of knowledge and the supreme goal of life. This two-volume edition of “Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead,” will inspire the sincere reader to ever-new levels of spiritual experience each time he opens its covers.

The quality of our consciousness goes up or down—and so do our moods—based on the choices we make. Krishna consciousness is both the highest consciousness attainable and the means to attain it.The quality of our consciousness can go up or down, based on how we see the world and act in it. Acting like the permanent, spiritual beings we are—subordinate parts of a supreme whole—enhances our consciousness; we become happy. 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.In this compact book, Srila Prabhupada recommends seeing this world as it is—a temporary place, full of anxiety—and following the higher road toward the supreme person, Krishna. Anyone can become elevated; the journey begins with a single step up.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, an epic philosophical and literary classic, holds a prominent position in Indias voluminous written wisdom. The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that touch upon all fields of human knowledge. Originally preserved through oral tradition, the Vedas where first put into writing by Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the "literary incarnation of God". After compiling the Vedas, Śrīla Vyāsadeva was inspired by his spiritual master to present their profound essence in the form of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Known as "the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic literature," Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge. This volume contains the first 370 verses (chapters 1 through 7) of the first canto with sanskrit to english word to word -translations and elaborate purports by His Divine Grace. ~ Librarian's note: an alternate cover edition ISBN: 0-912776-27-7

We must know the present need of human society. And what is that need? Human society is no longer bounded by geographical limits to particular countries or communities. Human society is broader than in the Middle Ages, and the world tendency is toward one state or one human society. The ideals of spiritual communism, according to Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, are based more or less on the oneness of the entire human society, nay, of the entire energy of living beings. The need is felt by great thinkers to make this a successful ideology. Śrīmad Bhāgavatam will fill this need in human society. It begins, therefore, with the aphorism of Vedānta philosophy janmādy asya yatah to establish the ideal of a common cause.

Prahlada Maharaja, being just a five year old boy, instructs his schoolmates in the transcendental science of self-realization, much to the dismay of his atheistic father, Hiranyakasipu. He himself received knowledge in the womb of his mother through his spiritual master, Narada Muni. These universal teachings are compiled in this booklet to teach us meditation, sense-control, achieving peace of mind and ultimately reaching the highest goal of life - pure love of God.

This series of lectures on Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto one, Chapter seven adds new light to the original purports. Queen Kunti, a tragic and heroic figure, emerges from an explosive era in the history of ancient India. Her teachings are simple and illuminating outpourings revealing the deepest transcendental emotions of the heart and the deepest philosophical and theological penetrations of the intellect. At the conclusion of the devastating Kurukshetra war, Queen Kunti approaches Lord Krishna as He prepares to depart the scene of the battle. Kunti's words are words of glorification impelled by a divine love steeped in wisdom. Kunti's spontaneous glorification of Lord Krishna and her description of the spiritual path are immortalized in the Mahabharata and the Bhagavata Purana (Srimad-Bhagavatam), and they have been recited, chanted, and sung by sages and philosophers for thousands of years.

Whereas material knowledge often leads to pride, spiritual knowledge culminates in humility and appreciation for the personal feature of the Absolute Truth, or Krishna, "the all-attractive one."

Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time.

From socrates to sartre, western philosophers have grappled with the ultimate questions: "what is the meaning of life?" "does god exist?"

In these series of conversations, srila prabhupada, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, gives an insight analysis and critique of the salient ideas of some of the eminent western philosophers, as seen from a vedic perspective.

There are many different types of yoga. Yoga means the system, and Yogi means the person who practises the system. The object of yoga, the ultimate goal, is to understand Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, Kṛṣṇa consciousness means to practice the topmost type of yoga. This topmost yoga system was described by Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad Gita to his most intimate friend Arjuna, and Srila Prabhupāda expands this idea here for the benefit of society at large.

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta is an important work on the life and teachings of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. This philosopher, saint, spiritual master, mystic, and divine incarnation initiated a magnificent social and religious movement in 16th century India. His teachings, which encompass the highest philosophical and theological truths, have influenced religious and philosophical thinkers around the world for centuries up to the present day.

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, is a prominent scholar and teacher of Indian thought and culture, as well as a recognized translator of the extensive Vedic literature.

On the Way to Krishna is based on lectures Srila Prabhupada gave, mostly on the 7th chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, in New York in the fall of 1966. These were still his early days in the United States, and he addresses a quintessential part of what we think of as the American dream: the right to pursue happiness. Of course, the desire for happiness is not an American phenomenon but intrinsic to the human condition. Without knowing what real happiness is, Srila Prabhupada says, happiness is impossible to achieve. In this small book, Srila Prabhupada discusses how happiness is found beyond the temporary, and illumines Lord Krishna's definition of happiness as it is presented in the pages of the Bhagavad-gita.

The King of Knowledge We may be proud of our academic education, but if asked what we are, we are not able to say. Everyone is under the conception that this body is the self, but we learn from Vedic sources that this is not so. Only after realizing that we are not these bodies can we enter into real knowledge and understand what we actually are. “This knowledge is the king of all education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is everlasting and it is joyfully performed.” —Bhagavad-gita 9.2
