Šrí Šrímad A. Č. Bhaktivédanta Swami Prabhupáda Boeken

Tekst van het belangrijkste boek van het hindoeïsme met vertaling en uitleg door de stichter van de Hare Krishna-beweging.

De Bhagavad-gītā vertegenwoordigt de essentie van de Vedische wijsheid van India en geldt als een van de grootste klassieke werken op geestelijk en filosofisch gebied. De tekst neemt de vorm aan van een dialoog tussen Śrī Kṛṣṇa, de Opperheer, en Arjuna, Zijn vriend en toegewijde. In deze conversatie, die zich afspeelt op een slagveld, onderricht Śrī Kṛṣṇa Arjuna over de wetenschap van zelfverwerkelijking. Gedurende duizenden jaren heeft de eeuwige wijsheid van de Gītā een blijvende belangstelling gewekt, zowel in het Oosten als in het Westen. Henry David Thoreau merkte op dat onze wereld en literatuur in vergelijking met de Gītā schamel en onbeduidend zijn. Deze vertaling met commentaar is van Śrī Śrīmad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, een vooraanstaand expert in de Vedische religie en filosofie, die de verbinding legt tussen het Westen en de geestelijke traditie van Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Terwijl andere vertalingen vaak de boodschap van de Gītā verduisteren door hun filosofische vooringenomenheid, biedt Prabhupāda's versie een heldere en nauwkeurige weergave van de intrinsieke betekenis van dit "Lied van God". Met een vloeiende vertaling, authentieke betekenisverklaringen, een gedetailleerd register en rijke illustraties, laat deze editie de tijdloze boodschap van de Gītā herleven.

Onderricht van de stichter (1896-1977) van de Hare Krishna Beweging.

De wetenschap der zelfrealisatie behandelt de tijdloze vedische kennis, zoals die duizenden jaren lang door grote wijzen is overgedragen. Ze ontsluiert de geheimen van het zelf, de natuur, het universum en God. De meest achtenswaardige leraar van de wetenschap der zelfrealisatie spreekt hier over meditatie en yoga , de wet van karma , superbewustzijn, en nog veel meer. In alle interviews, lezingenn, essays en brieven die in dit bijzondere boek gebundeld zijn, spreekt Śrī Śrīmad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda met verbazingwekkende helderheid en kracht. Hij toont aan hoe belangrijk de wetenschap der zelfrealisatie eigenlijk is voor onszelf en voor de wereld van vandaag.

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." The greater we think we are, the less we'll be attracted to Krishna; and the Bhagavad-gita won't even make sense to us.

From socrates to sartre, western philosophers have grappled with the ultimate questions: "what is the meaning of life?" "does god exist?" "what is the supreme good, and how can we achieve it?" but, as brilliant as their writings are, there have been no conclusive answers from western thinkers. 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. He outlines the process of bhakti yoga by which we can transcend illusion and doubt in our own lives and proceed with certainty on the path to perfection.

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.

This is a classic devotional text composed by a great Vaisnava saint in the 17th century. It expounds on the life and teachings of the medieval Saint and Avatar, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who started a spiritual revolution in medieval India, a time charaterized by materialism.

Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta Antya-Lila Volume One Chapters 1-8.

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

Although we are not these bodies but are pure consciousness, somehow or other we have become encased within the bodily dress. If we actually want the happiness and transcendence that transcend death, we have to establish ourselves and remain in our constitutional position as pure consciousness

The Bhagavad-Gita is the main source-book on yoga and a concise summary of India's Vedic wisdom. Yet remarkably, the setting for this best-known classic of spiritual literature is an ancient Indian battlefield. At the last moment before entering battle, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder about the real meaning of his life. Why should he fight against his friends and relatives? Why does he exist? Where is he going after death? In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krsna, Arjuna's friend and spiritual master, brings His disciple from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment and each one of us is invited to walk the same path. . In the course of doing so, Krsna concisely but definitively explains transcendental knowledge; karma-yoga, jnana-yoga, dhyana-yoga, and bhakti-yoga; knowledge of the Absolute; devotional service; the three modes of material nature; the divine and demoniac natures; and much more. Bhagavad-Gita As It Is is the largest-selling, most widely used edition of the Gita in the world.

Podle zákona karmy jsme zodpovědni za své jednání a smrt je rozhodujícím okamžikem, ve kterém vyšší síly neviditelně naplní to, co je nám souzeno za naše činy. V dnešní době, kdy mnoho lidí vypovídá o svých mimotělních zážitcích v blízkosti smrti a reinkarnace se stává běžněužívaným slovem, nám kniha Mezi životem a smrtí může pomoci logicky vysvětlit tyto jevy, ke kterým dochází v kritických okamžicích života.

Pyšníme se svým akademickým vzděláním, ale když se nás někdo zeptá, kdo vlastně jsme, nejsme schopni odpovědět. Všichni žijeme v domnění, že toto tělo je naše pravé já. Z védských písem se však učíme, že tomu tak není. Pouze když pochopíme, že nejsme tato těla, můžeme proniknout k ryzímu poznání a porozumět, kdo jsme.
