Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Lord Vishnu's consort, is a versatile goddess who functions at two levels. She is a source of strength and inspiration for Lord Vishnu and helps him whenever he is called upon to save the world from evil. And at another level, she showers blessings on all her devotees who worship her with love and devotion, and turns her back on all those who are immoral and deceitful. The stories in this book explore her multi-faceted persona centred around both these roles.

What is life for? What may give it meaning? Does it have any meaning at all? A sage in ancient Israel brooded over these questions. In ancient India, too, such questions drove a despairing warrior to seek answers from his divine friend Krishna. The thoughts of the sage became the wisdom book Ecclesiastes; those of Krishna, the Bhagavad-gītā. Their wisdom speaks to our deepest concerns. In Vanity Karma, wisdom meets wisdom as these two perennial classics come together, both offering us profound understanding. And a deep and authentic spiritual understanding, we may find, can infuse our lives with meaning and with joy. Vanity Karma brings you on a journey through the full text of Ecclesiastes, a journey illuminated by traditional biblical scholarship, insights from the Bhagavad-gītā, a dash of autobiography, and a steady spiritual focus.

The first draft of The Hare Krishna Explosion was written in July 1969 just after Srila Prabhupada’s first visit to New Vrindavan. At that time Hayagriva realized that the details of the beginnings of the Krishna Consciousness Movement had best be recorded when the events were still fresh. Working from notebooks, diaries and memories he compiled the first edition in a month. Then the manuscript remained packed away until Srila Prabhupada left the mortal world in 1977.

The unusual history of an extraordinary religious movement is recounted from the vantage point of an insider.

The book is an autobiography of an Indian man who went from being a first-generation technocrat to an entrepreneur and now a successful businessman. He was born into a middle-class family and had three siblings. After completing his degree in Electrical Engineering, he pursued a master's degree in Business Administration and started his professional career as a technocrat. Within five years, he became a successful business manager and held one of the highest positions with a high-paying salary in the corporate world. He then decided to become an entrepreneur in 2007 and initially, things went well. However, he faced a lot of struggles in the following four years, which aged him significantly. Despite this, he persevered and aligned himself with spiritual powers. Eventually, his hard work and dedication paid off, and in March 2023, he listed his company on the Bombay Stock Exchange. His goal now is to make his company a unicorn (worth a billion dollars) within the next five years. Despite his success, he remains humble and grounded, living life like a monk. He is a God-fearing, karma believer who treats his employees as his family and is always willing to help wherever and whenever needed. With a deep belief in God and enlightenment with Vedic spiritual sciences, he has decided to share his 50-year life journey with the world. The Authors, Dr. Gaurav Mittal and Adit Mittal, through this book, want to tell the world "The Purpose of Life". The book aims to illuminate the journey of becoming a mindful businessman by sharing personal experiences. It delves into pivotal moments, challenges, and insights that shaped the transition towards mindfulness in entrepreneurship. Through real-life anecdotes and lessons learned, it will guide readers on integrating mindfulness into business practices, fostering resilience, and facilitating a purpose-driven approach to leadership and success.
