Synopsis

In "The Rover Boys at College; Or, The Right Road and the Wrong," Edward Stratemeyer crafts an engaging and adventure-laden narrative that explores themes of camaraderie, moral choices, and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of the collegiate experience, this installment in the Rover Boys series combines elements of adventure fiction with a didactic tone, emblematic of early 20th-century boys' literature. Stratemeyer employs a straightforward narrative style, interspersed with lively dialogue and relatable characters, making it accessible to younger readers while reflecting the values and expectations of American society at the time. Edward Stratemeyer, an influential figure in children's literature, was known for his ability to create captivating series that addressed youthful aspirations and challenges. His own formative years influenced his portrayal of friendship, loyalty, and the struggle between right and wrong, themes he believed were vital for the moral development of young readers. As a prolific author and publisher, Stratemeyer understood the importance of engaging storytelling in shaping the character of the youth, and this book exemplifies his commitment to instilling positive values. I highly recommend "The Rover Boys at College" for both young readers and those interested in the evolution of children's literature.

Via Medium - Basics of...

Yashomatinandana Dasa

Dear Listeners,
In this book one learns about the fundamental principles of bhakti-yoga and how these principles free one's life completely from material suffering. In due course of time wisdom was transferred from the Supreme Person, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, to the people of this world.
“The Personality of Godhead, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, said: I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-god, Vivasvān, and Vivasvān instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Ikṣvāku.
This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.”
(BG 4.1-2)
Due to the fact that this transcendental wisdom of yoga was lost over time, now we have to remind ourselves of it and revive it again.
I am writing therefore as a messenger of the spiritual discipline of yoga, steadily engaged in serving humanity. Recognising the importance of this transcendental wisdom, we want to invite you to learn about the Mantra-Meditation particularly. Perhaps you are already following meditation or have some knowledge of yoga, nonetheless, one can learn a lot from this book “Via Medium”.
It concerns the history of the transmission of transcendental knowledge, the mantra meditation, its technique and theology, as well as the supreme science - bhakti-yoga.
It also tells a personal story and transformative account with the Maha-Mantra meditation and how I got to know His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, a bona fide spiritual master, receiving initiation into the spiritual discipline as a servant of Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mother Yashoda, receiving the spiritual name Yaśomatinandana Dāsa.
Om Tat Sat,
Your writing author
