Bhagavad Gita: Talks Between The Soul And God

The inner voice of the divine speaks to us all. One of its oldest and most authentic transmissions is the Bhagavad Gita spoken by Krishna 5000 years ago. The Gita is a living voice of love and wisdom that belongs to the whole world. In the heart of the listener who is open to hear, this voice takes birth anew. During the eighteen years since this version first appeared, our world has entered deepening crisis and confusion. In these times we can feel the warrior’s opening words spoken to Krishna: ‘I am confused and overwhelmed—tell me what is best for me.’ Each one of us has the capacity to look within and hear the inner voice, to meet the divine Friend who lives inside and never leaves. These difficult times are here to bring us to this place where we can experience the light of wisdom and the embrace of love we all long for. Armed with this inner strength and vision we will discover how we are to act in today’s troubled world. The words of Krishna preserved in the Bhagavad Gita guide us to this sacred encounter. Listen to these ancient words read meditatively by the author Ranchor Prime. In today’s times of crisis here is a living voice of wisdom that cuts through the confusion and calls us to the inner truth and love we always long for. In Talks Between the Soul and God, the voice of Krishna comes along with Ranchor Prime’s simple and clear reflections based on his lifetime of discipleship.

[Hindi] - पाशुपत सम्प्रदाय का उद्भव एवं विकास (Pashupat Sampraday Ka Udvab Evam Vikas)

Pashupat religion under Shaivism was adorned as the oldest sect. The emergence of Pashupat religion was virtually between sixth and fifth century BC. Its creative foundation was primarily confined to the existence of tradition as a result of traditional exchange. Firstly, the concept of Vedic Rudra-Pashupati and the rituals located in its sanctum gave the philosophical foundation of the Pashupat-sect. The influence of the non-Aryan tradition is visible on the upper sides of Pashupat-Dharma. In the third place, in the seventh-century CE, the Muni-Shravan-ideology created that atmosphere, which resulted in the origin of Pashupat-Sampradaya. The Tapasic tradition is the highest belief in the Pashupat sect, its main reason being the influence of the Muni-Shramana ideology. Hence the presentation of this conclusion seems to be justified that the Pashupat-Sampradaya was acclaimed as a byproduct of the devotional and ascetic aspect of the religious revolution that took place in the seventh century AD.

[Marathi] - Ladha Hinduncha Hindusthansathi लढा हिंदूंचा हिंदुस्थानसाठी

Hindus should forget the old Subhasitas and adopt new Subhasitas in their place. Hindus will be able to re-establish Dharmarajya in this country only if there is a new subhashtra of 'Didhle Dukh Parane Isha Naye Pedu Chi Sosave' instead of 'Didhle Dukh Parane Isha Naye Pedu Chi Sosave'. This is a small history of the stubbornness of the Hindu heroes who made a condition of bravery to pay off the debt during the time of thirteen hundred years of oppression by the Muslims!..... Ladha Hinduncha Hindustaansathi.....! हिंदूंनी जुनी सुभाषिते विसरून त्या जागी नवीन सुभाषिते रूढ केली पाहिजेत. 'दिधले दुःख पराने उसने फेडू नयेचि सोसावे' या सुभाषिताऐवजी 'दिधले दुःख पराने उसने ठेवू नयेचि फेडावे' असे नवीन सुभाषित आले तरच हिंदू या देशात पुन्हा धर्मराज्याची स्थापना करू शकतील. मुसलमानांच्या तेराशे वर्षांच्या अत्याचारांच्या विपरीत काळात ज्या हिंदू वीरानी उसने फेडण्यासाठी पराक्रमाची शर्थ केली त्या वीरांच्या जिद्दीचा हा लहानसा इतिहास !... लढा हिंदूंचा... हिंदुस्थानसाठी !...

The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna is revered in India and the West as a prophet belonging to the spiritual line of Krishna, Buddha, and Christ. Seekers of all religions will find in this book courage and faith, hope and illumination. You will feel God to be very real and within reach. Listen to Sri Ramakrishna’s conversations, and be in the company of a great soul. Sri Ramakrishna (1836-1886) had a passionate yearning for the vision of God. At the age of sixteen he went to Calcutta, but was disappointed by the materialistic ideals of the people of the great city. Refusing to direct his attention to secular studies, he became a priest in the Dakshineswar temple, where God is worshipped as the Divine Mother of the Universe. By his intense prayer and longing, and through a series of unprecedented spiritual practices, he obtained the vision of God. Through the various systems of Hinduism and the religions of Christianity and Islam, Ramakrishna always reached the same goal of God-consciousness, and said, “As so many faiths, so many paths” – the basis of interfaith harmony today. There came to him all kinds of people, men and women, young and old, educated and illiterate, agnostic and orthodox, who asked him questions about spiritual life and accepted his words as true. Ramakrishna’s love for all people knew no barriers of race, color, or culture, and he spoke freely to everyone who sought his counsel and blessings without expecting anything in return. This audiobook, read by Paul Bazely, brings to life the words of a great prophet and God-man. This audiobook contains a short biography of Sri Ramakrishna, which is also published separately as an audiobook under the title “Sri Ramakrishna, A Biography,” by Swami Nikhilananda.

Coming Back

'The absolute last word on this fascinating subject! Das explains everything you need to know about reincarnation via the teachings of his guru Bhaktivedanta Swami. Five stars!' Yoga Journal Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues via a process known as reincarnation. The Vedic literature of India advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation. The concept is not as alien as it might seem. We can observe we change from one body to another throughout our lifetime. Our body at birth is completely different from our adult body. Yet throughout these changes, the conscious self remains the same. Similarly, the conscious self remains the same at death and transfers from one body to the next in the cycle of reincarnation. Our present body is the result of a long series of actions and reactions in previous lives. The law that governs this is known as karma: every action has a reaction. Our previous actions have produced our present body, and our current actions will determine our next body. Only in the human form can we free ourselves from the endless cycle of reincarnation, of birth and death, by re-establishing our eternal, loving relationship with Lord Krishna. As Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita “From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one attains to My abode.. never takes birth again.” Here in this unique audiobook, are the ancient secrets of reincarnation from a 50-year devotee of the Vedas and devotional yoga. A rare mystical audiobook adventure.
