Chant and Be Happy
The Power of Mantra Meditation Based on the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Chant And Be Happy is an introduction to the history, practice, and benefits of mantra meditation, and specifically the significance of chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra. Also known as the maha-mantra, "great chant for deliverance," Hare Krishna is recommended in many sacred texts as the most effective form of meditation for the present age. Since the 1960s and '70s, this mantra has gained world popularity, partially due to its inclusion in the #1 song "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison. The book contains a conversation between the Hare Krishna movement's founder Srila Prabhupada, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Yoko Ono on what makes a mantra genuine and effective. It also discusses the scriptural origin of the mantra, as well as step-by-step instructions for chanting.$2.95 Add to cart -

Beyond Birth and Death
We often think of "life" as a relatively short span of time in between our birth and our death we celebrate birth as "coming into life" and mourn for the "dead"when in fact life is an unending continuum, and what we call "birth and death" are merely bodily changes. This is Krishna's beginning instruction in the Bhagavad-gita; for the self there is neither birth nor death. We're all eternal spiritual beings, meant to live eternally in relationship with the Supreme Person. The joy we experience once we understand the difference between our self and our material covering cannot be overestimated. Beyond Birth and Death was prepared from transcripts of lectures Srila Prabhupada gave in 1966 on the second and eighth chapters of the Bhagavad-gita.$1.95 Add to cart
