A Concise Bhagavad Gita
by Nayaswami Gyandev
Although the Gita is quite short, it can be difficult to follow in some places. Its abrupt shifts from topic to topic, many Sanskrit terms, and tedious lists can cause one to lose the greater flow, power, and consummate practicality of this enduring scripture. That’s why many readers don’t stick with it, and they miss out on the Gita’s life-changing insights and instructions.
This condensation solves the problem by summarizing groups of related verses in clear, concise English, making this matchless scripture much more accessible. There are a few Sanskrit terms, but translations are provided.
Please note: This booklet is an aid to reading the full Gita, not a substitute for doing so. Please, read the full Gita, too! For a profound yet highly readable translation, we recommend The Bhagavad Gita, by Swami Kriyananda.

Guide to the Mahabharata and Life of Sri Krishna
by Nayaswami Gyandev
This guide helps you keep all the many characters and events straight in these two great sagas, so you can relax and enjoy the stories on ever-deeper levels. It also includes genealogies of the main characters, a map of ancient India, an intriguing event timeline, and a large catalog of capsule descriptions of all the main characters in both the Mahabharata and the life of Krishna as described in the Srimad Bhagavatam.
One fascinating and instructive feature is the psycho-spiritual qualities that, according to the great master Paramhansa Yogananda, the various characters of the Mahabharata represent. This is valuable for applying the lessons of these great scriptures to your own life.
You can purchase only the pdf version here. Please contact us if you want the paperback version ($12.95 + tax + shipping), as only a few copies still remain.

Dance of Divinity
Origins & Adventures of Hindu Gods & Goddesses
by Gyandev McCord
Enjoy this delightful storytelling from the enchanting myths of Hindu gods and goddesses: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Parvati, Ganesha and Ganga. The stories are lively, rich with spiritual allegory, and highly entertaining. Some of these deities did not always behave like deities—or so the traditional stories would have us believe. But there’s always a message in the story.
Gyandev is an experienced and engaging storyteller, even in a purely audio format. He makes the stories come alive for young and old alike.
