Destined for Infinity
      
  This book offers a different way to understand spiritual knowledge through a 
  story. It tells the mystical escapade of a man, Roman West, who entered deep 
  into the secrets of India where few other Westerners have been able to 
  penetrate. In what was originally a simple search to find himself after a 
  series of personal upheavals, he journeys to India and gets involved with a 
  prophecy that becomes his inescapable destiny. While living with a master in 
  the Himalayan foothills and traveling the spiritual path that leads to the 
  Infinite, he witnesses the amazing powers the great sages can achieve. He also 
  undergoes some of the most unusual experiences of his life. Under the guidance 
  of his master, and after contending with his own doubts and the limited 
  perspective he has of himself, he gradually opens to new degrees of 
  understanding and awareness, and acquires the power to develop his own 
  supernatural abilities. He then attains the sacred vision of the enlightened 
  sages and enters the amazing and unfathomable realm of Infinity and the vision 
  of cosmic consciousness. Such a description has been provided in very few 
  other places.

 Yoga and Meditation: Their Real Purpose and How to Get 
Started: Yoga 
is a nonsectarian spiritual science that has been practiced and developed by the 
sages and rishis of India over 
thousands of years. The benefits of yoga are numerous. On the mental level it 
strengthens concentration, determination, and builds a stronger character that 
can more easily sustain various tensions in our lives for peace of mind. The 
assortment of asanas or postures also provide stronger health and keeps 
various diseases in check. They improve physical strength, endurance and 
flexibility. These are a few of the goals of yoga. Its ultimate purpose, however, is to purify and raise our consciousness to 
a level in which we can directly perceive our real identity and the spiritual 
dimension. Then we can have our own spiritual experiences. This is what many 
people seem to forget or remain unaware of it. The point is that the more spiritual we become, the more we can perceive that which is 
spiritual. That is the real goal of yoga. As we develop and grow in this way through yoga, the questions about 
spiritual life are no longer a mystery to solve, but become a reality to 
experience. It becomes a practical part of our lives. This book will show you 
how to do that.

This
contains
solid scientific evidence showing how a subtle mind element and
a conscious self that can exist apart from the body have been systematically
eliminated from mainstream science by a process of knowledge filtration. “Any time knowledge
filtration takes place you can expect a great deal of resistance, criticism, and ridicule when
it is exposed and challenged,” says Cremo. 
He
bases his response on modern science and the world’s great wisdom traditions, including the Vedic philosophy of ancient India.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Spiritual Teachings of the Avatar 
by Jeffrey Armstrong. 
Published by Atria Books, Hardcover, 224 
pages, $22.00 US, ISBN 978-1-58270-281-0. 
This book 
speaks 
to anyone concerned with the sustainability of Mother Earth, the role of elders 
in our society, the seemingly unconsciousness of science and corporations, and 
the subtleties of unseen realities, resulting in spiritual growth, a deeper 
relationship with nature, and a better world for all. An avatar is a 
manifestation of the Supreme Being—usually in human form—that descends from the 
transcendental realm to Earth to heal the planet and restore peace and harmony 
by eliminating the harmful souls that prey on Mother Earth. In Spiritual 
Teachings of the Avatar, Vedic expert and teacher Jeffrey Armstrong explains 
the ancient Indian wisdoms embodied in the word “avatar,” and that behind the 
notion of avatar is a view that sees the sacredness of all life and the soul of 
all beings as eternal—meant for freedom and made of divine essence.

        This
book was written to enable people, especially from the West, to understand and
appreciate the ancient healing techniques that have been passed down verbally
for generations and finally put into verse by the great sages and seers of
ancient Bharata-varsha (India). Just one part of the Vedas-mantras, yantras and
gemstone therapy have been utilized with Vedic astrology and Ayurveda as a form
of prescription for thousands of years. It is the author's wish that the reader,
once having tasted this knowledge, will feel excited at the prospect of delving
further into the Vedas and all the secrets they contain.

have written this book as a complement to my previous book entitled Mantras,

sections in that book are extensive in explaining birthstone systems,
gemological characteristics of stones, and accompanying ritualistic ceremonies,
but it did not as completely encompass the whole science of gem therapy as does
the present work. What I began to discuss in my previous book I have clarified
and quantified in this one with the intention of providing a far more complete
understanding of how gems distribute the cosmic colors of the rainbow, and what
their effects are on the body and mind. Vedic astrologers of the West will
undoubtedly gain a great deal of insight into the recommendation of gems to be
worn as rings and talismans on the body gleaned from my thirty years of
experience in this field. I feel certain that this book will be helpful in many
ways toward making gem therapy more useful and practical for the practitioners
of this ancient science."

Orissa in the Crossfire-Kandhamal Burning by Brannon (Vrindavana) Parker.
This book provides many vital details related to the Hindu-Christian violence 
that has swept Orissa's Kandhamal district. The book also highlights the history 
of Orissa and its tribes. While many have familiarized themselves with the 
propaganda that has fictionalized the events surrounding the Kandhamal crisis, 
few have had access to the facts. The true history of Kandhamal and the 
struggles of its people deserve a fair hearing in the court of public opinion. 
Is the Kandha religion sinister or sacred? Are they bloodthirsty savages or a 
people of a noble and ancient heritage? Can the tribes people of Kandhamal rise 
up out of their undeserved shame and be seen for who they really are? Long 
labeled as ‘a cruel human sacrificing tribe of ruthless savages’ it is time the 
truth be revealed. It is time for the world to learn about the Kandha ‘God of 
Light’ and their Culture of Life. Paperback 452 pages, $31.08, available as a 
paperback or as a download.

        Lessons in 
Spiritual Economics from the Bhagavad-gita: Understanding and Solving the 
Economic Problem (Volume 1), by Dhanesavara das.  
"Spiritual 
Economics" is a cross-disciplinary study combining psychology, economics and the 
spiritual science of the Vedas to explain why there is vulture capitalism, 
cut-throat competition, unending economic hardship, exploitation, inequity, and 
struggle in this world. "Spiritual Economics" explains the origin and solution 
of our ecological problems. "Spiritual Economics" explains why the present 
economic methods can do nothing to solve these problems, reveals the actual 
source of our economic problems, and explains the only factual solution that can 
create an economy that serves everyone. "Spiritual Economics" explains the 
actual source of our economic problems and how to solve them, once and for all. 
"Spiritual Economics" reveals and explains the link between economic activity 
and human consciousness. Economics is not a physical science like 
electromagnetism that works according to natural laws. It is a set of ideas 
entirely created by human beings. The most important side of the economic 
equation therefore, is the human side-but this side is totally neglected in all 
discussions of economics. Since economics is a man-made creation, if we want to 
understand the economic problem and its solution we must understand how and why 
human beings act in this world. That will give us the insight needed to properly 
adjust all of the parameters of the economic calculus to get the desired result. 
Only "Spiritual Economics" explains the whys and wherefores of human behavior in 
relationship to their economic activity. The economic problem can be solved for 
the benefit of everyone, but it will require something from the people, not just 
the leaders. In the process this will not only solve the economic problem, but 
the environmental problem, the social problems, and many of the other problems 
as well. "Spiritual Economics" explains how this can be done simply and easily. 
The only question remaining is: will you participate in the solution?
