  When the Battle of Towton took place on Palm Sunday in 1461 near a small village in Yorkshire, it was the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil. Towton was one of the battles of the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars ravaging England from 1455-1487. These marked the longest period England has been in unrest, surpassing the 12th century civil war between King Stephen and Empress Matilda (Maud), which lasted 15 years. 
  Today, roses are a sign of love and luxury, but for over 30 years, they provided the symbols for two houses at war for control of the English throne. Thousands of people died and many more were injured fighting beneath the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster, and the noble families ruling England tore each other apart in a struggle that was as bitter as it was bloody. Though what followed was a period of strong rule under the Tudors monarchs, it ultimately came at a terrible cost, and even then, it was through Elizabeth of York that the Tudor line received its legitimacy. After all, while Henry VII won his throne in battle, Elizabeth of York was the daughter of King Edward IV of England, a Yorkist monarch. 
  Despite their limited social and economic impact, the political and personal dramas of the Wars of the Roses have ensured that they are well remembered and still part of the popular imagination.

  Marcus Garvey's The Tragedy of White Injustice is a powerful indictment of white racism and colonialism.Garvey argues that the white race has a long history of oppressing and exploiting non-white people all over the world, and that white racism is not simply a matter of individual prejudice, but rather a deeply ingrained system of oppression that is maintained by white institutions and social structures.Garvey also discusses the impact of white racism on Black people, arguing that it has caused them to suffer physical, psychological, and spiritual damage, and has prevented them from reaching their full potential.Garvey's book is a call to action for Black people to unite and resist oppression, and to build their own institutions and economies so that they can achieve self-determination.

  America's First Guru The Message...

  "Always try to represent yourself as happy. Initially, it becomes your look, gradually it becomes your habit and finally it becomes your personality." 
   
  "Comfort is no test of truth. Truth is often far from being comfortable." 
   
  "Desire, ignorance, and inequality – this is the trinity of bondage." 
   
   
  In a teeming, often-suspect ocean of gurus, mystics, fakirs, yogis, perfect masters, and various other self-proclaimed incarnations of the godhead who have stepped foot on American soil over the years in pursuance of their spiritual ambitions, Swami Vivekananda was arguably the first, finest, and resolutely most authentic. A simple, austere man, he was a mountain of spiritual power made more impressive by his innate kindness, humility, and compassion toward all. 
   
  In this impossibly rare collection, the great master speaks for himself via a long-lost recording based on the philosophical, esoteric, and transcendent teachings of his beloved Hindu faith, or Sanatan Dharma (everlasting truth). Further, there is featured a profound collection of some of the swami’s finest thoughts on life and the spiritual path narrated by Sripad Jagannatha Das. 
   
  All in all, here is an intriguing, inspirational, historic audio biography of one of the most famous but yet, oddly, least known of the spiritual titans of his time and beyond. An absolute must for all serious yoga practitioners and devotees of truth. A true, unexpected spiritual treasure.
