WITHOUT FEAR
“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.”

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.

producing the book as a gift to Srila Prabhupada, are astonishing.”
SWAMIJI
“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.”

into the essence of chanting. I highly recommend it for everyone, whether an experienced chanter, or those not
yet chanting.”
—Sacinandana Swami

COSMOLOGY ON TRIAL
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.

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.
“Hidden History is a detective novel as much as a scholarly tour de force. But the murderer is not the butler.
Neither is the victim a rich old man with many heirs. The victim is man himself, and the role of the assasin is
played by numerous scientists.”
—Dr. Mikael Rothstein, Politiken Newspaper, Denmark
NATURE’S IQ
Extraordinary Animal Behaviors that Defy Evolution
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?

Miracle on Second Avenue is a short, carefully researched documentary book written in a you-are-there style,
that catalogs the start and growth of the Hare Krishna movement.
The work is a memoir of Mukunda Goswami, one of the pioneers of the religious group that is now known
throughout the world formally as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
Miracle on Second Avenue is a series of historical events that include the movement’s founder, A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and his interactions on two continents with the author over the three-year
period from August 1966 until December 1969.

“Sangita devi dasi delivers three intertwined books for the price of one. First, The Final Journey carefully
depicts the natural dying process. Second, Complete Hospice Care offers step-by-step – and eminently
practical – guidance for terminal care. Third, the Departing Vaishnava addresses the spiritual and ritual needs
of Chaitanya Vaishnavas, but – intriguingly – there is much here worth studying by those of other faiths...The
Final Journey comes highly recommended to anyone who crosses paths with death.”

“I have been pleased to read A God Who Dances: Krishna for You . After addressing the concerns of the curious
mind, the author guides the reader on a rare spiritual journey through ancient times and key Sanskrit texts.
Krishna has impacted my life in ways I could have never imagined. No longer do I feel compelled to slave
for future expectations. Krishna gives me the ability to be self-satisfied right now. This book will intrigue the
scholar, but the sincere spiritual newcomer—and even the well-read spiritual warrior—are about to enter a
meeting with Krishna that will change their lives for good.”
—Frank A. Orlando, M.D.
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
we’ll depart. Yet we have a major influence on the time and experiences in between, written as the dash (—)
between the dates of our births and deaths.
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.

of both the science and tradition of nutrition and exercise. He explains with simplicity and compassion how our
food and lifestyle choices have a life-changing impact not only on our own future, health, and happiness, but
also on that of the entire planet.
I have spent my life in the tennis industry and have gotten to work beside the game’s greatest catalysts, mavens,
entrepreneurs and heroes…Billie Jean King, Andre Agassi, Jack Kramer to name a small fraction. But at the end of
the day, there is one person who has really done more for the sport and more for society than nearly all of them...
Peter Burwash! He reaches the apex of integrity, honesty, morals, talent and accomplishment like no other.
What Peter does is unique. He takes the life in front of him and lives it to its perfection. He is the most self-
less, conscious, conscientious, caring person I can think of. Peter yearns to help other people have greater,
better, more fulfilled lives.
