Dodging Disease & Death Indefinitely

 


Click here to watch a 10-minute video slideshow/narration of a pamphlet written by Śikṣāṣtaka dāsa during the pandemic, inspired by a short quote (the 46 second audio of the actual quote is included at the end of the video) from a class given in Dallas in 1972 by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda.

Here is a link to the transcript and audio of the entire Prabhupāda lecture.

If you would like to go deeper into this topic, there is a short book written by Swami Prabhupada entitled "Beyond Birth & Death" 

available on eBay here for $6 with free shipping. 

This book is based on the ancient science of Bhakti-yoga originally spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, translation and commentary by the same author. It has sold 26 million copies worldwide. This book is infinitely deep and has been in extant since time immemorial. Henry David Thoreau said, "In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial."

The above 770 page pocket size edition is available here for $8 plus media mail shipping.

If you would like to join us to discuss these topics online, I offer a free 40-minute Zoom class on the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam every Wednesday at 6 pm. At that time, click here or enter meeting ID and password in the photo. 



If you would like to participate, or have any questions, text me at (412) 287-1667. We take turns reading from the book (optional-you can also just listen) with informal Q&A. Join our Facebook group to be notified of this and other events.
