Srimad-Bhagavatam, Sixth Canto


A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda - 1976
    The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that touches upon all fields of human knowledge. Originally preserved through oral tradition, the Vedas were first put into writing by Srila Vyasadeva, the "literary incarnation of God." After compiling the Vedas, Srila Vyasadeva was inspired by his spiritual master to present their profound essence in the form of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Known as "the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic literature," Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge.After writing the Bhagavatam, Vyasa taught it to his son, Shukadeva Goswami, who later spoke the Bhagavatam to Maharaja Parikshit in an assembly of sages on the bank of the sacred Ganges River. Although Maharaja Parikshit was a great rajarshi (saintly king) and the emperor of the world, when he received notice of his death seven days in advance, he renounced his entire kingdom and retired to the bank of the Ganges to seek spiritual enlightenment. The questions of King Parikshit and Shukadeva Goswami's illuminating answers, concerning everything from the nature of the self to the origin of the universe, are the basis of Srimad-Bhagavatam.This edition of Bhagavatam is the only complete English translation with an elaborate and scholarly commentary, and it is the first edition widely available to the English-reading public. This work is the product of the scholarly and devotional effort of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the world's most distinguished teacher of Indian religious and philosophical thought. His Sanskrit scholarship and intimate familiarity with Vedic culture combine to reveal to the West a magnificent exposition of this important classic.

Psychic Politics (Classics in Consciousness)


Jane Roberts - 1976
    This is not only her most challenging book, but a very personal investigation in which the sources of dream and myth, and the creative wellsprings of sex and spirituality, appear in their full and breathtaking relationship to daily life. And here for the first time, Roberts introduces three concepts that are key to understanding her entire body of work: the library, a super-real storehouse of "probably" books that tell of the paths human consciousness has not yet taken; counterparts, simultaneous incarnations living on earth today so as to broaden the fabric of their individual soul's experience; and the codicils, an alternative set of rules for human existence that could transform the framework of our entire civilization.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Seventh Canto - Part Two (Chapters 6-10)


A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda - 1976
    The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that touches upon all fields of human knowledge. Originally preserved through oral tradition, the Vedas were 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. After writing the Bhāgavatam, Vyāsa taught it to his son, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, who later spoke the Bhāgavatam to Mahārāja Parīkṣit in an assembly of sages on the bank of the sacred Ganges River. Although Mahārāja Parīkṣit was a great rājarṣhi (saintly king) and the emperor of the world, when he received notice of his death seven days in advance, he renounced his entire kingdom and retired to the bank of the Ganges to seek spiritual enlightenment. The questions of King Parīksit and Śukadeva Gosvāmīs illuminating answers, concerning everything from the nature of the self to the origin of the universe, are the basis of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. The first verse of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam makes clear that because the book is intended for people serious about spiritual progress, it will not deal with sectarian religious ideas, philosophical conjecture, or worldly concerns. The second text promises that anyone who reads the book systematically will achieve the spiritual success meant for all human beings. This edition of Bhāgavatam is the only complete English translation with an elaborate and scholarly commentary, and it is the first edition widely available to the English-reading public. This work is the product of the scholarly and devotional effort of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, the worlds most distinguished teacher of Indian religious and philosophical thought. His Sanskrit scholarship and intimate familiarity with Vedic culture combine to reveal to the West a magnificent exposition of this important classic. With its comprehensive system of providing the original Sanskrit text, Roman transliteration, precise word-for-word equivalents, a lucid English translation and a comprehensive commentary, it will appeal to scholars, students and laymen alike. The entire multivolume text, presented by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, promises to occupy a significant place in the intellectual, cultural and spiritual life of modern man for a long time to come. Contains 213 verses with the original sanskrit text, its roman transliteration, synonyms, translation and elaborate purports. Librarian's note: an alternate cover editionISBN: 0-912776-87-0

Alternate Realities


Lawrence LeShan - 1976
    LeShan's tools are drawn from the exactitudes of philosophy--from Kant, Wittgenstein, and Cassirer--but they are carefully and clearly translated for the layman, so much so that one occasionally feels like a kindergartner addressed by an oversolicitous teacher, but ends up grateful for the repetitions, the concrete exercises and examples. LeShan says we actually structure reality according to different, self-consistent, mutually incomprehensible modes, such as the sensory (that of common sense, biological survival, and classical science), the clairvoyant (the ""seamless web""of mysticism, ESP and relativity physics), the transpsychic (in which prayer and ethics make sense), the mythic (that of art, dream, and play). We all shift among these spontaneously, unconsciously, and each nourishes different human purposes and needs; the problem (and possibly the root of war and neurosis) is that each mode labels itself ""the only."" We must learn to value and use them all.
