  Excerpt:
   
  "To understand ourselves, we must live with ourselves and know all about ourselves. The mind for that matter is flickering, fickle, difficult to guard and control and flutters like a fish taken out of its watery abode and thrown upon the land. Somebody causes you hurt and although the aggressor has disappeared from sight, the hurt grows within you and every so often keeps surfacing with an overpowering intensity to give you a warp. Then again, you see something that has captured your attention and your mind has instantly photographed it from every conceivable angle with a see-through lens, developed it in your mental dark-room, brought out the prints and enlargements with the skill of an expert cameraman and processor rolled into one. Similarly, all the sense faculties and the mind are of high sensitivity and respond to anything and everything exciting. If the degree of excitement is not sufficiently satisfying, you step it up with the use of drugs, intoxicants and poisons. This activity goes on unabated and makes of you a human derelict. A wise person living in his mind protects himself holding himself dear. Such a person whose senses are subdued, whose pride is destroyed and is free from corruptions, is calm of mind, speech and action and rightly knows, and is perfectly peaceful and equipoised."

  Lights. Camera. Politics 
  Before Ronald Reagan became “the Great Communicator,” he was a Hollywood actor who mastered the art of storytelling — and he carried that skill straight into the White House. Reagan’s Hollywood America reveals how the former movie star reshaped not only the Republican Party but also the entire cultural imagination of the United States. 
  From the rise of patriotic blockbusters to the golden glow of prime-time optimism, Davis Truman traces how film and television during the 1980s became a mirror — and a weapon — for Reagan’s vision of America. Behind the scenes, entertainment and ideology merged into a powerful narrative machine that sold not just movies, but a new national myth. 
  Inside this groundbreaking book:That ’80s Show! – How pop culture and politics fused into one seamless performance.The Image President – How Reagan used cinematic language to control public perception.Hollywood’s Cold War – Movies as moral battlegrounds for American virtue versus Soviet villainy.Television Nation – The rise of nostalgia, family values, and the American Dream on screen.The Legacy Reel – How Reagan’s Hollywood still shapes today’s political storytelling. 
  Rich with cultural analysis, cinematic insight, and political commentary, Reagan’s Hollywood America is an essential listen for readers who love history, film, and the art of persuasion. 
  Whether you’re a student of politics, a lover of classic cinema, or fascinated by how image became power, this book pulls back the curtain on an era when the American Dream was scripted, directed, and broadcast worldwide.

  Neem Karoli Baba's Beautiful...

  Sripad Jagannatha Dasa

  Neem Karoli Baba, known to his followers as Maharaj-ji, was a mystic saint and devotee of Hanuman. Maharaj-ji’s teachings were simple and universal. He often said, “Sub Ek” — All is One. He taught us to “love everyone, serve everyone, remember God, and tell the truth.” Strongly connected to Hanuman, God in the form of a monkey, Maharaj-ji taught in a highly personalized, non-traditional way that reflected the deep devotion of the bhakti path of the heart. Known as the “Miracle Baba” throughout north India, he manifested many siddhis (powers), such as being in two places at once or putting devotees in samadhi (elevated state of God consciousness) at the touch of a finger. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings. He is known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of Americans who traveled to India in the '60s and '70s, including Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, as well as musician Krishna Das. For many years Baba was closely associated with silent sadhu Baba Hari Dass. 
   
  Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the '60s. After that, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His '70s iconic book, Be Here Now, turned on a generation to the deep, nonsectarian spirituality within us all. Krishna Das is an American vocalist known for performing Vedic devotional music known as kirtan. Bhagavan Das is an American yogi who lived for six years in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. He is a bhakti yogi, kirtan singer, spiritual teacher, and writer. Baba Hari Dass was initiated in the Vairagi Vaishnava order in 1942. Dass has practiced continual silence since 1952. This is the true story of each of the spiritual "Gang of four" and their master and deep inspiration Neem Karol Baba.
