This is a book about a deeply beloved place—many call it the spiritual capital of India. Located at a dramatic bend in the River Yamuna, a hundred miles from the center of Delhi, Vrindavan is the spot where the god Krishna is believed to have spent his childhood and youth. For Hindus it has always stood for youth writ large—a realm of love and beauty that enables one to retreat from the weight and harshness of the world. Now, though, the world is gobbling up Vrindavan. Delhi’s megalopolitan sprawl inches closer day by day—half the town is a vast real-estate development—and the waters of the Yamuna are too polluted to drink or even bathe in. Temples now style themselves as theme parks, and the world’s tallest religious building is under construction in Krishna’s pastoral paradise. What happens when the Anthropocene Age makes everything virtual? What happens when heaven gets plowed under? Like our age as a whole, Vrindavan throbs with feisty energy, but is it the religious canary in our collective coal mine?

Divine Mother: The Way Back to Divinity is the third book of the Guruvakya Meditations series that is designed to help you deepen your inner relationship with the Divine Source, which you might know as Krishna, Christ, God, Guru, the spiritual Master, or, as is the focus of this book, the Divine Mother. In this volume, you’ll find 365 Guruvakyas for a new insight each day of the year. Use them for the five-minute 3-Step Guruvakya Meditation described inside, and you’ll quickly deepen your unique connection with the most loving of all divine forms, the Divine Mother. Let each insight warm your heart and let Her carry you back to divinity.

The Shreemad Bhagavad Gita is one of the most ancient scriptures in the world. It contains the direct word of God, spoken for all of mankind, irrespective of religion or tradition. Its philosophy and teachings are central to human life. It teaches us to live our daily lives in Divinity, as a service unto God and His creation. It achieves this by gifting us true knowledge, faith, devotion, surrender, detachment, and a release of expectations and ownership over one’s own actions. It comes as a stark contrast to the lives with which we have grown accustomed to leading. Today’s world is filled with constant desire for material wealth, sense pleasures, individualism and egoism. The Gita acts as a lighthouse on the shores of Vaikunta, guiding lost sailors at the sea of illusion to safety. But like any teaching, time and unqualified minds can distort it and misunderstand what is contained within. It is for that purpose that the Lord continuously takes birth on earth in the form of the Guru to revive the true essence of the Gita, to show the simplicity of the message of Bhagavan. One such Master is Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda, and in this book, which is his personal commentary, we hold a treasure chest of spiritual insight.

Guru: The Rarest Life Treasure is the second book of the Guruvakya Meditations series that is designed to help you deepen your inner relationship with the Divine Source, which you might know as Krishna, Christ, God, Divine Mother, or, as is the focus of this book, the Guru or spiritual Master. In this volume, you’ll get 365 Guruvakyas so you can use a different insight each day of the year. Use them for the five-minute 3-Step Guruvakya Meditation described inside, and you’ll quickly deepen your unique connection with the source of Divine Love, the indweller of your heart, your Guru. Paramahamsa Vishwananda is an enlightened spiritual Master who has the unique ability to awaken the soul’s inner Light and Love, helping us all advance more quickly toward the ultimate goal of life. Naturally being a living example of the focus of this book, His personal connection to ‘the Guru of all Gurus’, Mahavatar Babaji, is profound and timeless.

Over the course of seven days, Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda captivated an eager audience with his commentary on the Shreemad Bhagavatam, extracting the essence of its message and deepening the understanding and experience of everyone present. This book is the result of that event. About the Shreemad Bhagavatam: Despite being compiled long ago by Sage Veda Vyasa, the Shreemad Bhagavatam’s message is very relevant today for it describes the powerful connection to the Divine presence that resides within the heart of every human being. Its verses prove that whenever humanity is most in need, the Divine manifests Itself on Earth to answer the call of the sincere devotees, and to re-establish balance, right action, and the life-affirming power of Divine Love. Paramahamsa Vishwananda’s commentary gives an enlightening spiritual context to these stories of men and women, kings and beggars, avatars and demons, and seamlessly connects them to the deeper issues and questions that concern all of us today: life purpose, responsibility, honesty, jealousy, pride, ego, stewardship of the Earth, and much more.

The Sri Hanuman Chalisa is considered one of the most popular Hindu devotional hymns, chanted daily by millions of people all over the world. Many chant these praises of the monkey god, Hanuman, to seek His protection, strength, help and assistance during their struggles. However, the deeper significance and value of knowing about Hanuman is that He is the ultimate model of Bhakti, humility and surrender, expressed even to this day through His selfless devotional service to Lord Rama. Fortunately, Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda has provided a commentary which reveals the deeper meaning behind each of the forty verses of this beautiful hymn. Verse by verse, Paramahamsa Vishwananda guides us to understanding that, by cultivating devotion, humility and surrender, the inner gates to Divine Love are opened and we are finally able to reach the ultimate goal of life: to become devoted servants of this great Love.
