| Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
There are two paths, one that leads to your eternal welfare and one that leads only to the fleeting pleasures of the senses. A collection of English discourses delivered by Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaj between 1997 and 2000 in the US, Europe and India. These sublime lectures encapsulate, in the form of colorful stories, insightful analogies and lucidcommentary, the essence of the divine teachings of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the devotee saints of ancient India. Chapters include "The Welfare of the Living Being" (discussing our tenuous position within this human birth), "What is Bhakti?" (a comprehensive look at the purport of the words of Vamsi das Babaji and the meaning of bhakti in general), "Krsna: the Greatest Magician" (an elaborate and humorous description of Krishna's Maya), "Answersfor All Time" (an elaborate explanation of the questions between Yamaraj and Yudhistira Maharaj in the Mahabharata), "The Message of the Bhagavad-gita" (new insights into the staple literature of all India religions), and "The Significance of Ekadasi Vrata" (an extremely in-depth look at devotional service, including the holy life of Ambarisha Maharaj), "Sanctifying the Heart" (an unforgettable explanation of the inner meaning of Janmastami). |
