A lucid description of the battle of life looked at through the message of the Bhagavad Gita.

The journey of civilization, the passage of time, and the spread of commercialization have resulted in social lifestyle changes in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The West witnessed a great upsurge of materialism and downswing in human values such as love and compassion. To bring a balance in both the materialism of the West as well as the eternal human values of love, kindness and compassion of the East, the enlightened spiritual masters of India brought their beautiful teachings to enrich human civilization and to seamlessly blend the spiritual with the material.

To live each moment in ecstatic bliss and love seems an impossible dream. But for those who fully immerse themselves in the practice of bhakti, love and devotion for God, this dream can become a reality. When God is your only desire and the true beloved in your heart, the yoke of life becomes lighter, and the phantom shackles of the world will fall away. The beauty of bhakti is its simplicity. It can be practiced by anyone, anywhere, regardless of culture or faith. The only requirement is a willingness to open your heart to the boundless and unconditional love of God; then, you will manifest love during every thought, word, and action. Ultimately, you will attain union with the Divine. This declaration is affirmed by the celestial Sage Narada in the immortal Bhakti Sutra of Narada. 

Driven by an unrelenting desire for nectar, the butterfly flies from one flower to the next. When it discovers the one that holds the sweet treasure, it gently alights, becoming completely still, as it blissfully enjoys the nectar. Similarly, our restless mind is like the fluttering butterfly, going here and there in a constant pursuit to find the sweetness of happiness and peace - but it is only when we become absorbed in meditation and prayer and the mind is still and tranquil that we will enjoy the divine nectar.

Commentary by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda on Shiva Aparadha Ksamapana Stotram by Adi Shankara. In this work he reminds us how we have forgotten the One who is the source of our life and our divine nature.

Just think how it would be to wake up every morning feeling confident and secure, knowing that you have all the skills and talent to deal with whatever lies ahead. Wouldn't it be wonderful to fully live your life free from doubt, free from inhibition, free from imagined disasters, unafraid to joyfully open your mind and heart to others?
This book examines the various aspects of fear and the disastrous effect it has on our life and the world around us. We learn that fear is the fundamental drive behind many of our daily thoughts and actions. But do not despair - take heart! Fear can be conquered, and in this book the Master tells us how.

Most of us will agree that life is as we make it. But do we consider how we make our lives? Do we spend our days criticizing and finding fault in others? If so, how does this tendency affect us? What far-reaching and enduring effect does it have on the lives of those we criticize? The faultfinding tendency is a double-edged sword: Often camouflaged as “just telling the truth” or “frankness,” it is a weapon that often injures both the wielder and the victim.

In this helpful and enlightening little booklet, dedicated to the Yogavatar of Love, Paramahamsa Yoganandaji, Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji explains the negative effects of faultfinding and offers practical insight into overcoming this destructive tendency. He shows us why happiness will elude us until we eradicate it from our lives.

The Guru Paduka Stotram is a poignant and heartfelt hymn by Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha, the former Shankaracharya of Puri and the sannyasa guru of Paramahamsa Hariharananda. Within the pages of this book Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, discusses this hymn of adoration dedicated to the guru. The words of this hymn are captivating and inspiring, as it beautifully describes the role of the guru–preceptor in the lives of spiritual seekers.

Humility is perhaps the least understood, but the most important, of all virtues. No good quality can be deemed a virtue unless it is grounded in humility. When seekers of Truth lack humility, they stand still on the path of spiritual growth. If we are not humble, our good qualities are nothing more than fodder for the false ego — the ego that prevents us from knowing who we really are.

In this small but thought-provoking book, Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji dispels misconceptions often associated with humility. We learn how and why humility creates invincible strength. We learn that it is not a weakness as many believe it to be. Through deep spiritual insight and his own experiences the master clearly outlines the steps that must be taken to cultivate humility.

Ages ago in ancient India a great king sat at the feet of Avadhuta, a naked sage, and asked that very question.
