LIGHT OF THE BHAGAVATA BY SWAMI PRABHUPADA

This is an unused pre-owned copy

The simplicity, beauty and intricacies in nature have captivated the mind and hearts of the greatest philosphers throughout time. Of all the classic works in the vast treasure house of India's timless Vedic literature, the Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most sublime and precious, for it embodies the essence of spiritual truth in beautifully poetic passages. Within in the Tenth Canto of this incomparable masterpiece is a description of India's rainy autumn season as an extended metaphor to illustrate various aspects of transcendental wisdom. For example, the cloudy skies of autumn nights, which obscure the moon and stars, represent the materialism of the present age, which hides true wisdom from the human mind. Through the Light of the Bhagavata, Srila Prabhupada, one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century, presents a clear and tangible illustration of the purpose and significance of nature and its origin.

Light of the Bhagavata captures the philosophy of India in beautiful Chinese art and cultural representation.
