The Great Misunderstanding shows us that we are conditioned to believe in duality, perceiving ourselves as separate from the world. We deeply misunderstand who we really are. We try to change our lives to be better, more happy and content. Premananda's playful Zen stick deconstructs our misunderstanding. Using actual meetings and situations from his life, he intertwines the ordinary with the extraordinary to deliver a profound and life-changing message. Nothing is missing! What is really true is just now. We only have this moment. With this understanding life becomes a paradise and we are truly free. Being quiet, empty, we discover that we are happiness itself.

Papaji Amazing Grace is a book of fifteen profoundly beautiful interviews with people who had an Awakening with Papaji. They are stories of a housewife, a businessman, even an officer of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Each person, whatever their background, had the common longing to discover the eternal Truth of who they are. When this longing is strong enough a Master appears.These powerful interviews were conducted by John David (formerly Premananda) with seekers for Truth who sought out Papaji in the period from 1990 to 1997, when his old age finally allowed a community to grow up around him in Lucknow, North India.

These talks discuss the main issues that need to be considered on the path to Awakening. John David explains the path of Self-inquiry in The Teaching of Ramana Maharshi, explores the notion of destiny in Destiny, gives an overview of the spiritual journey in The Spiritual Roadmap, delves into the ego or false Self in The Fortress, exposes the illusion of falling in love Hollywood-style in Authentic Love, examines the way of the heart in Devotion, and extolls living in the Now, in Presence.

ew questions concern man more closely than those of his own origins. How did man and the other species originate? Why does the fossil record of the last 500 million years show such ever-changing spectrum of creatures? What causes the vast repeating cycles of extinction and renewal of species on our planet? Natural Creation or Natural Selection? is a ground-breaking study which points out that we miss a fundamental dimension in our study of life on earth if we forget to look at mind, consciousness and life as primary and formative factors. By applying an understanding of the formative mind, the author presents a radically different yet complete explanation of the fossil record and the diversity of organic life, which not only fits the facts exactly, but also accords fully with the universal philosophy expressed by mystics throughout the ages.

An inspirational encounter with the world of Christ, and an uplifting study of the man, his times and his teachings. Destined to be a classic.
