Reincarnation - Conquering...

Sripad Jagannatha Das

"Transmigration is not a question of religion. It is a question of science. You are a spiritual being, but because you are materially conditioned, you are under the spell of material nature. When your body is annihilated, you are not finished. You get another body, just as you may change your coat and shirt. Eternally the spirit soul within the body remains the same." Bhaktivedanta Swami

Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues via a process known as reincarnation. The Vedic literature advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation.

We can observe we change from one body to another throughout our lifetime. Our body at birth is completely different from our adult body. Yet throughout the conscious self remains the same. Similarly, the self remains the same at death and transfers from one body to the next in the cycle of reincarnation. Our present body is the result of a long series of actions and reactions in previous lives. The law that governs this is known as karma. Our previous actions have produced our present body, and our current actions will determine our next body. Only in the human form can we free ourselves from the endless cycle of reincarnation, of birth, and death. As Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita “From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one attains to My abode.. never takes birth again.”

Here in this unique audio work are the ancient secrets of reincarnation from a 50-year devotee of the Vedas and devotional yoga. A rare and vitally important mystical audiobook adventure.

Sexism - The Persistent Struggle...

Marcus Klein

Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. While this issue affects all genders, it is most commonly seen in the discrimination against women and girls, who have been historically marginalized and denied the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts. Understanding the complexities of sexism is essential to grasp the ongoing struggle for gender equality, a fight that has evolved over centuries and continues to be relevant today.
The importance of gender equality cannot be overstated. It is not only a matter of fairness and justice, but also a key component in building a more prosperous and harmonious society. Gender equality allows individuals to reach their full potential, irrespective of their gender, contributing to economic growth, social development, and personal fulfillment. When men, women, and non-binary individuals have equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and political representation, the entire community benefits. Yet, despite significant progress, gender inequality remains a persistent challenge in many areas of life, from the workplace to the family home, from education to politics.
This book explores the multifaceted nature of sexism and the ongoing battle for gender equality around the world. It examines the historical roots of sexism, the cultural and religious influences that perpetuate gender discrimination, and the role of feminist movements in challenging the status quo. It also delves into the modern-day manifestations of sexism, including the gender pay gap, barriers to education, and underrepresentation in leadership positions.

Life Map - A Short Guide For...

Ioniţă "Shumu” Mihai

My aim with this book is to help bring some clarity and a sense of direction to adults and younger people alike. 
As an adult, if you find yourself kind of stuck, say you’ve had a fair amount of experiences up to this point, you are financially independent and overall pretty content but feel you kind of lost contact with some of your dreams and aspirations from around…10 years ago…keep on reading. 
Or, if you’re a student who feels overwhelmed in today’s world where we’re all constantly flooded by the online medium which fights for each second of our attention and distorts reality by feeding us fake reference points…keep on reading. 
It’s completely understandable how someone can feel lost and not know what to do with one’s life. 
While I do not claim to hold an absolute truth, I firmly believe that this book can and will be seen as a clear and solid starting point in helping you find at least some answers to questions you have or may have, whether you’re an adult looking to improve your life, or a student feeling your life is just starting out. 
In short, my idea was to take Abraham Maslow’s Expanded Hierarchy of Needs and pump it full of steroids. 
I wanted to take this pyramid and turn it into a tesseract. 
Ok…so maybe that fifth cup of coffee at 3 a.m. wasn’t such a good idea after all.
