Synopsis

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Cecil Chesterton in World War I


“A History of the United States” was published posthumously in 1919, after Cecil Chesterton died in late 1918 from wounds received while fighting the "Great War". This work is a very interesting read that offers the point of view of a 19th century European about the birth and rise of the United States until the dawn of its participation in World War One.

Mainly written from the trenches of World War One with the aim of welcoming the United States and her soldiers to the war effort, Cecil Chesterton's compact history paints a picture of Britain's former colonies as an energetic and unique emerging force in the world. Most of the text reads as an insightful and careful history of the United States, albeit from a distinctly British point of view.

    Miscarriage is a deeply personal and often painful experience that affects millions of women and families worldwide. Despite its prevalence, it remains a topic shrouded in silence, leaving many to navigate their grief alone. This book aims to provide comfort, understanding, and hope to those who have experienced miscarriage, offering guidance through the emotional and physical healing process.  
      
    For many, the loss of a pregnancy brings a complex mix of emotions—grief, guilt, anger, and even isolation. Society often struggles to acknowledge miscarriage as a significant loss, leading many women to feel as though they must grieve in silence. Friends and family may offer well-meaning but unhelpful advice, leaving those affected feeling misunderstood. It is important to recognize that miscarriage is not just a medical event but an emotional and psychological one as well. The pain of losing a child, even in the early stages of pregnancy, is real and valid.  
      
    While no two experiences are exactly alike, one common thread among those who have suffered miscarriage is the search for meaning and healing. Some find solace in talking about their experience, while others prefer quiet reflection. Many turn to faith, support groups, or counseling to help them process their grief. Regardless of the path taken, healing is possible, and hope can be found even in the darkest moments.

    “Whenever there is a decline of religion and a rise of irreligion, I incarnate myself. To protect the good, to destroy the wicked, and to re-establish religious principles, I appear in every age.”"In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium." Sri Krishna The incarnations of Godhead are a recurrent theme in Vedic history. Vishnu exists outside the material realm as the creator, and within every being as the Supersoul. He also enters this world as an avatar, ‘one who descends’, to restore balance whenever his presence is needed. There are said to be more incarnations of Godhead than waves on the ocean. The avatars of Vishnu are of particular interest because He takes progressively more developed forms, from the fish, tortoise, and boar to half-animal, half-man, and finally human form. That God should incarnate as an animal, even a supernatural one, shows animals have an important role to play in God’s eyes. They are living expressions of the spirit and presence of God. Here are the subtle secret teachings of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami the master of George Harrison and so many more. These ancient yogic mysteries were taught only to Maharaji's most advanced disciples and were thought to be all but lost these many years. Coming now from a nearly 50-year devotee of Srila Prabhupada here is a singular opportunity to enter into the true mystical presence of the divine incarnations of the absolute.The Vedas are a 5000-year-old esoteric, intriguing, mystical body of work that carries within it the seed of divine, transcendental knowledge. We live in a world wherein yoga now reigns supreme as the preferred, go-to method of modern spiritual realization, and this unique, exclusive, audio presentation which paves the way for a clearer, more meaningful understanding of these divine sacred
