2. Shrimad-Bhagavatam
Srimad-Bhagavatam, an epic philosophical and literary classic, holds a prominent position in India's voluminous written wisdom. The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that touch upon all fields of human knowledge. Originally preserved through oral tradition, the Vedas were first put into writing by Srila Vyasadeva, the "literary incarnation of God." After compiling the Vedas, Srila Vyasadeva was inspired by his spiritual master to present their profound essence in the form of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Known as "the repined fruit of the tree of Vedic literature," Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic knowledge.

4. Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead (2 vols resp. 3 vol.)
For literally thousands of years, the Vedic literatures of India have represented a vast treasure house of knowledge and delight for millions upon millions of readers. Unfortunately, many of the most interesting of these ancient Sanskrit texts have remained inaccessible to the modern reader in the West -- that is, until now.
This book contains an original account of the extraordinary pastimes of Lord Krishna, who appeared on this planet 5,000 years ago. Absorb yourself in its pages and come directly in touch with His marvelous characteristics and glorious deeds. Join Lord Krishna in a long-forgotten time as He enchants all the residents of the magical land of Vrindavana and simultaneously battles a fantastic array of wizards and warriors wholly bent upon His destruction.
Sri Krishna's pastimes are not only fascinating, charming and highly entertaining but are full of deep philosophic wisdom and spiritual insight as well. Anyone who takes the time to read this one-of-a-kind literature will be impressed by its relevance to contemporary human concerns.

5. Shri Ishopanishad
The Sanskrit words Sri Isopanisad mean "the knowledge that brings one nearer to the Supreme Person." As such, Sri Isopanisad directly counters the teachings of modern science, which say that at the root of existence lies not a person but merely abstract laws governing the chance collision of subatomic particles in the vast void of time and space.
Individually, we rebel at the proposal that can be analyzed into lifeless laws and particles. We feel that personality is the solid foundation and unifying principle of our existence. That intuition is correct, says the Vedic philosophy of personality in every sphere of life and knowledge. And the essential Vedic teachings on the universal nature of personality are summarized in Sri Isopanisad, the foremost of the 108 Upanisads.
As translated and explained by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the nineteen jewel-like mantras of Sri Isopanisad can release us from the bleak conceptions of impersonalism and put us in touch with the Supreme Person, the fountainhead of all energies and all happiness.

9. Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
Throughout the ages, many avataras -- divinely inspired teachers and incarnations of God -- have appeared in the world, but none has ever distributed spiritual love as freely as the Golden Avatara, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Caitanya Mahaprabhu (Mahaprabhu means "the Great Master") appeared in Bengal, India, in 1486, and He lived for only 48 years, yet He began a revolution in spiritual consciousness that has profoundly affected the lives of millions. Renowned as a great saint even in His youth, Lord Caitanya left His family and friends at the age of 24 to teach the forgotten essence of the ancient Vedic wisdom throughout India. Although He Himself was a fully renounced mystic, He taught how one can act in spiritual consciousness even within one's home, occupation, and social affairs. Thus, His teachings, although timeless, bear special relevance for today's world. He taught a practical process that anyone can perform to directly feel the ecstasy of pure love of God. This book tells about the extraordinary life of this great saint and explains the essence of His teachings.

11. Teachings of Lord Kapila, the Son of Devahuti
Long ago, in an age we know about only from the epics of ancient India, the great sage Kapila made His appearance on earth -- from the womb of the saintly Devahuti. When her husband left home to seek spiritual perfection in the forest, Devahuti implored her divine son Kapila to lead her to enlightenment. Lord Kapila then showed her the way of Sankhya -- the analytical pathway to a higher understanding of the world, the self, and the ultimate source of everything.
Here the world's most distinguished teacher of Vedic philosophy and religion shows us just how relevant Lord Kapila's ancient teachings are to us today. Through the way of Sankhya, as explained in this book, we learn about the qualities of the spiritual master, the science of meditation, the psychology of consciousness, the symptoms of the self-realized person, the secret of transcendental knowledge, and the attainment of supreme liberation.

20. Krishna Consciousness: The Topmost Yoga System
There are many different types of yoga, but how many people understand its real purpose? Yoga means to enquire: What am I? And the beginning of that understanding is to know oneself as different from the body. Ultimately, one can understand one's spiritual identity and realize Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in full knowledge and bliss. This is Krishna consciousness, the topmost yoga system, the ultimate goal of yoga. This is explained in the 5000 year old Bhagavad-gita, and Srila Prabhupada expands this idea here for the benefit of society at large.

21. Krishna Consciousness: The Matchless Gift
All living entities within the material world are, to varying degrees, afflicted with a type of madness. The Krishna consciousness movement aims at curling man of his material disease and reestablishing his original consciousness.

In this book the author, Srila Prabhupada, discusses the step by step process of reviving our original peaceful and happy condition,-Krishna consciousness.

23. Raja-vidya: The King of Knowledge
We may be proud of our academic education, but if asked what we re, we are not able to say. Everyone is under the conception that this body is the self, but from Vedic sources we learn that this is not so. Only after realizing that we are not these bodies can we enter into real knowledge and understand what we actually are.
"This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is everlasting and it is joyfully performed." (Bhagavad-gita 9.2)

An excerpt: "The influences of various people, places, and terms have led us to designate ourselves as Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Socialists, Bolsheviks, and so forth. But when we attain transcendental knowledge and are established in sanatana-dharma, the actual, eternal religion of the living entity, the spirit soul, then and then only can we attain real, undeniable peace, prosperity, and happiness in this world,"

25. On the Way to Krishna
Every one of us is searching after happiness, but we do not know what real happiness it. We see so much advertised about happiness, but practically speaking we see so few happy people. This is because so few people know that the platform of real happiness is beyond temporary things. It is this real happiness that Srila Prabhupada describes in this book.

26. Krishna, the Reservoir of Pleasure
Krishna means the highest pleasure. Each of us, every living being, seeks pleasure. But we do not know how to seek pleasure perfectly. With a materialistic concept of life, we are frustrated at every step in satisfying our pleasure because we have no information regarding the real level on which to have real pleasure. To enjoy real pleasure, one must first understand that he is not the body but consciousness.

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 probes deeply the nature of consciousness, meditation, karma, death, and reincarnation.

29. Civilization and Trancendence
People do not know what real progress is. The Vedic civilization is not interested in the false progress of economic development. For instance, sometimes people boast, "We have gone from the hut to the skyscraper." They think this is progress. But in the Vedic system of civilization, one thinks about how much he is advanced in self-realization. He may live in a hut and become very advanced in self-realization. But if he wastes his time turning his hut into a skyscraper, then his whole life is wasted. Modern so-called civilization is simply a dog's race. The dog is running on four legs, and modern people are running on four wheels. The learned, astute person will use this life to gain what he has missed in countless prior lives -- namely, realization of self and realization of God.

30. Light of the Bhagavata
The simplicity, beauty, and intricacies found in nature have captured the minds and hearts of the greatest philosophers throughout time. Even the greatest scientific minds of our time are at a loss to understand nature's great mysteries. Light of the Bhagavata presents a clear and tangible illustration of the purpose and significance of nature and its origin.

31. The Laws of Nature: An Infallible Justice
Why is one person rich and another poor, one an exploiter and another exploited, one a victim and another the victimizer? In The Laws of Nature: An Infallible Justice, we learn who's pulling the strings, and why. Based on two classics of ancient Vedic wisdom -- Isopanisad and Srimad-Bhagavatam -- The Laws of Nature explores the age-old mysteries surrounding karma and reincarnation, free will and destiny, enlightenment and liberation. What's more, it shows us how we can practice the techniques of yoga and meditation to cut the bonds of karma and achieve complete freedom, happiness and spiritual perfection.

32. Renunciation through Wisdom
The Bhagavad-gita is widely recognized as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom, but sometimes those unfamiliar with Eastern thought find it difficult to grasp. In Renunciation Through Wisdom, Srila Prabhupada has simplified the teachings of the Gita for our understanding. If we study this book and follow its instructions, the brilliant sunshine of transcendental knowledge will soon dispel the darkness of ignorance, and then love of God , the goal of all spiritual knowledge and practice , will dawn in our hearts.
