The contemporary, thoughtful reader, weary of the many speculative, simplistic books cluttering the bookstore shelves, offering instant formulas for psychological or spiritual salvation, will find The Path of Perfection a welcome relief.
The Path of Perfection is a series of talks by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada [1896–1977] on India’s greatest spiritual classic, the Bhagavad-gita. In these absorbing talks, Srila Prabhupada deeply explores the philosophy of yoga as explained in the Sixth and Eighth Chapters of the Gita, showing clearly how these timeless teachings apply to twentieth century mankind. Srila Prabhupada’s talks probe questions concerning the nature of consciousness, techniques of meditation, karma, death, reincarnation, and even spiritual ecstasy.
From the back cover:
The Path of Perfection, by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, explains the highest standard for human beings, the practice of the science of self-realization, bhakti-yoga.
A chronicle of an historic series of talks by Srila Prabhupada, who has been acclaimed by scholars as the greatest exponent of the Indian spiritual tradition, this book deeply probes the nature of consciousness, meditation, karma, death, and reincarnation. He prescribes a simple process to purify the mind and elevate the consciousness—a process that assures readers not only inner peace but the power to change the chaotic trend of modern society.
