{"product_id":"krishna-consciousness-part-one-sridhar-santhanam-9798579455666","title":"Krishna Consciousness - Part One: Absolute Truth Is Atma, Paramatma and Krishna Bhagavan","description":"\u003ci\u003e The Bhagavad Gita says that there are two potencies of Bhagavan Krishna. \"Spiritual and Material\". Bhagavad Gita is also the only book which talks about The Art of Living as well as The Art of Dying. Many books have been written about the Art of Living but none about the Art of Dying. The Art of Living is about our material body, mind and intellect. The Art of Dying is about Death of the body, mind and intellect after which our atma begins a new journey. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e Coming to the subject of The Art of Dying, I have shared my experiences which were much more than near death experiences (NDEs). It was a thrill-filled and enjoyable experience because I brushed aside my painful experiences. Often we overlook the power of consciousness inside and outside us because we fear consciousness. We hide behind our intellect and logic and say I don't believe in the atma, etc. Struggles between our body and atma will happen particularly during our death. It is unavoidable. Unfortunately the tussles between our body and atma are not known to us because no one has shared the deathly experiences. Death-time experiences, if known in advance will help us a great deal in embracing death as a normal phenomenon instead of calling it a NDE and fearing it. As long as we are young with a healthy body we treat spiritual experiences as great, exciting and unusual. In the process we even call ourselves Bhagavan. But what is thrill for a youth will become a nightmare when it happens to our inexperienced, frail, scared, sick and aged body. In this book I have explained the deathly experiences and the powerful spiritual potency of Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva.\u003cbr\u003e In Krishna Consciousness PART 2, I will discuss about the material potency of Lord Krishna viz. Kaal, Karma, Prakriti and their Gunas. These topics relate to effects of the transcendental Krishna Consciousness on the material universe, our material body, mind and atma. Karma, Kaal and Prakriti also impacts our body, mind, intelligence, atma and the universal consciousness. The above discussions will be followed by consciousness-related subjects that has to do with our material life.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e This book also confirms the existence of a superior and a higher spiritual destination called Goloka Vrindavan as narrated in the Srimad Bhagavatham. This is a happier place where happiness is eternal unlike heaven, paradise, jannat or swarg. Readers will find it worth while aspiring for higher spiritual destinations that makes our atma satisfied instead of allowing our atma to take repeated births in the universe. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e Our atma's permanent and eternal abode is with Krishna Bhagavan in Goloka Vrindavan and not on earth to enjoy in heaven or paradise or suffer in hell or naruq. Bhagavad Gita is as much about Art of Dying as it is about Art of Living. Our body once dead belongs to the material universe and has to rest here. The final destination for the atma should be the transcendental abode which it can attain provided our body frees it when we are alive, healthy and young. This can't happen once our body is ageing or is dead. So we have to spiritualise and not kill our body, mind and intellect in order to show our atma the eternal Goloka Vrindavan. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHare Krishna \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sridhar Santhanam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8579455669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798579455666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"Sridhar Santhanam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790398583039,"sku":"9798579455666","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6623795a-80a0-40e3-88c2-dfb7a4516cb7.jpg?v=1707288824","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/krishna-consciousness-part-one-sridhar-santhanam-9798579455666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
