them on an extraordinary journey, meeting sages, kings, demons, heroines, and celestial beings. Culminating in
the greatest war of all time, Mahabharata is a masterpiece of adventure, intrigue, romance, and spiritual wisdom.

WITHOUT FEAR

by Rupa Vilasa dasa

“The author has covered so many topics, with so much intelligence, that it is hard to know where to begin or
end in commenting on his newest book. In Without Fear: Glimpses of Srila Prabhupada, Rupa-vilasa dasa has,
with much evidence from sadhu, sastra, and guru, as well as from his own personal experiences and those of
his contemporaries, shown us that Srila Prabhupada is still alive and that we can approach him through his
vani, his word.”

MAHABHARATA (for young readers and adults)

by R. Govinda

Arjuna pulled the string of his bow making a tumultuous sound that immediately quietened the rowdy crowd.
Draupadi’s heartbeat quickened seeing the young, handsome and determined Brahmin walk towards the pond.
His hair was pulled back and tied in a bun showing all the masculine features of his face. His arms were long
and muscular and his chest was broad.
Putting his hands together in respect, he bowed to the elders and then he bowed to Krishna. There was
pin-drop silence as Arjuna fixed an arrow in the bow, and looking down into the pond, deep in concentration,
Arjuna pierced the eye of the fish with a single shot.

SWAMIJI

by Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Das)

“Nobody apart from Bhaktivedanta himself was more of an insider in the first few years of the movement
than Brahmananda. He was one of Bhaktivedanta’s first disciples in the temple at 26 Second Avenue in New
York, and, as ISKCON’s first president, was involved in almost all of the activities that Bhaktivedanta set
in motion: dancing and chanting in City parks, producing the first editions of Back to Godhead magazine,
arranging meetings and talks & overseeing ISKCON’s first book publications.
In Swamiji, Steven Rosen has given us a glimpse into Brahmananda’s intimate relationship with
Bhaktivedanta, and for that, we owe him a debt of gratitude.”

CHALLENGING MODERN SCIENCE
Torchlight Publishing

COSMOLOGY ON TRIAL

by Pierre St. Clair (Vaiyasaki Das)

There is widespread concern about major theories like the Big Bang, General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics,
black holes, redshift, and the speed of light. Even gravity, the most common force in nature, is not fully under-
stood! Most physicists admit that what we know today is likely to be revised significantly tomorrow.
Cosmology on Trial separates science fact from science fantasy. The book examines the case for cosmology
exactly as an attorney would in a court of law. The evidence must be beyond reasonable doubt in the minds of
intelligent people; similar to the rationale for a jury to decide a verdict. Essential principles of cosmology are
analyzed in a courtroom setting via the testimony of over 64 prominent physicists called as “witnesses” in the
most significant trial of our time.

THE FORBIDDEN ARCHEOLOGIST

by Michael A. Cremo

Michael Cremo, an international authority on human antiquity, has justly earned the 'forbidden archeologist'
title. For over twenty-seven years he's been 'digging up' documented, credible findings that mainstream
archeologists don't want you to know about - discoveries in the fossil record that tell a completely different
story from Darwinian evolution.
This collection of forty-nine articles published in Atlantis Rising magazine is like the Cliff Notes on his best
selling, encyclopedic Forbidden Archeology and formidable Human Devolution. Readers will quickly under-
stand the strongest arguments and remarkable discoveries that reveal evolution as a failing theory.

NATURE’S IQ
Extraordinary Animal Behaviors that Defy Evolution

by Balázs Hornyánszky – István Tasi

Darwin’s theory of evolution is widely accepted as the explanation for the varieties of life. Evolutionists attempt
to explain the origin of behavioral patterns by gradual modifications of more simple behavior forms. But when
we try to explain complex animal behavior this way, it becomes impossible.
Nature’s IQ invites you to investigate an alternative explanation. Is it possible that our world reflects in many
different ways, a supernatural intelligence that has applied its own infinitely ingenious solutions to create the
living world?

of Chaitanya Vaishnavas, but – intriguingly – there is much here worth studying by those of other faiths...The

Krishna has impacted my life in ways I could have never imagined. No longer do I feel compelled to slave

MASTER OF THE D-A-S-H

12 Principles for making the most of your life

You and I don’t play much of a role in our entrance into this life and we have minimal say about how and when

With personal anecdotes, realizations, and sage advice from enlightened people, past and present (who have
done well at mastering their D-A-S-H), Peter Burwash offers us a dozen fundamental guidelines for improving
our precious journey.
Whether you find Peter’s advice an alarming wake up call or the encouraging words of a kind and experienced
well-wisher, one thing is for sure—this is one of the most cogent “How To” books you’ll find for making the
most of this mysterious blessing we call life.
