No Money, No Love, No Job, No Luck!
The problems in our daily lives don't seem to end. Whether it's our personal or professional lives, emotional or physical health, financial or social well-being, freedom of choice or expression, problems just seem to be pouring in from all ends. Just as we are done tackling one problem, another smiles at us from a hand's distance!
Utterly frustrated, we are forced to blame our Creator for putting us in such a mess of a situation. The ultimate nail in the coffin comes when we decide to take support of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and casual or illicit sex to cope with the situation, or worser still, decide to end our precious lives that are no less than invaluable gifts from God!
But wait! There's no reason to despair! There's help at hand. In this book, His Divine Grace Bhakti Swarupa Tirtha Maharaja helps us find out the root cause of all our problems. Like an expert healer, he gives us the necessary enlightenment to destroy that root cause and attain an unparalleled state of well-being which is undisturbed by any mortal or mundane means, and which extends beyond the borders of material death, into the realm of the eternal divine.
Actually There's No Problem

This book will be your trusted Wellness and Happiness guide for the rest of your life!
In a world with the most mind-boggling technological innovations and the widest variety of choices for material sense gratification, it is surprising to know that mental disorders are among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. Close to 800,000 people in the world die due to suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. There are indications that for each adult who died by suicide, there may have been more than 20 others attempting suicide!
This most certainly shows that the majority of the people in the world today are not happy, and they really do not know how to make themselves happy. This is the reason this book has been written. It teaches you what real happiness in life actually means and how to bring that happiness into your life.
From Darkness to Light

This is the best book that you will be taking home with you!
"Who am I?" "Why am I suffering?" "How can I end my sufferings and live in perpetual peace and happiness?" These are three burning questions which have baffled the minds of the entire human race, beginning from eternity. These questions do appear in our minds at some or other point of time in our lives.
Approximately five hundred years ago, Shree Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the evangelist of the greatest spiritual revolution in the world, answered all these three questions with just one single masterly statement: "When the living entity is convinced that it is an eternal servant of God, Shree Krishna, there remains no misery for it." This book begins with answering these questions by expanding on this statement and then takes you on an enlightening spiritual journey that ends in your getting full and free access to the key for unlocking the floodgates to the abundant transcendental joy that comes from realising the true nature and potential of God and the immense love that naturally exudes from His personality.
The Science of God Realisation

Overused, misused and abused, love has lost its meaning today.
We use the word "love" everywhere and all the time without thinking what it means, what it stands for and what it involves. So, what is love? More importantly, what is real love?
Starting with Animal Love, this book presents this basic and natural urge for all living beings purely for reproduction. Moving to Human Love, covers a whole range of emotions and mental tuning, educational and social backgrounds if these lead to permanent bonding. Culminating with Divine Love for the eternal, beyond worldly possessions, positions of power or prestige, the quest ends with real love. This happens by surrendering totally to the Supreme Lord Krishna.
In Quest of Real Love

He is everywhere - in the Vedas and the Upanishadas; in the Agamas and the Puranas; in the Mahabharata and the Vedanta-sutris.
He has been glorified in all books of repute of Vedic religiosity. He is Shree Krishna, the most talked about yet the least properly understood of all Godly personalities.
What to talk about ordinary mortals struggling to keep their mental equilibrium under the scourge of their contaminated and limited material senses, even sense-controlled Yogis, Munis and Rishis, and exalted demi- gods like Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, express their inabilities in comprehending Him fully. Yet, understanding Him fully is considered to be the perfection of all human pursuits.
This is not possible just by gathering loads of information from all available sources and then applying one's intelligence to unravel the secrets of Shree Krishna's personality. This is possible only by understanding and then practicing it under the proper and constant guidance of a Saint, a Spiritual Mentor who has relinquished his all to become the dust of the Loving Servitors of Shree Krishna's Lotus Feet.
Krishna The Irresistible

Management Guru: Lord Krishna....
Over 5,000 years ago, managing over 8.2 million soldiers on the battlefield of Kurukshetra was a humongous undertaking. As a management consultant, the Supreme Lord Krishna successfully managed the army of the Pandavas against heavy odds.
When the war strategy is discussed with inputs from all five Pan-davas on the state of the conflict, the Supreme Lord Shri Krishna leads from the front on all issues and takes decisions on the colossal scale of operations. Mass production is the basic foun-dation for this colossal undertaking. The two armies consist of 18 'Akshouhinis' or divisions totalling 8.2 million soldiers equipped with uniforms and weapons, food and accommodation, medical and transport services. The mass production of these high quality, well designed products and services proves that this ancient civilisation had developed in all fields of excellence. The administration of such a gigantic operation calls for very competent management skills.
In modern management terms, this means research and development, acquisition, storage, distribution, maintenance and transport of all equipment and consumables. Record keeping for all the manpower and equipment means creating, maintaining and updating massive databases. Thus, all decisions have to be based on pragmatic management practices - no different from modern management practices.
This book draws these lessons from ancient wisdom for modern management. This is the distilled experience of a senior executive who became a Sanyasi. From a smartly dressed corporate executive in gray trousers, a blue shirt, a red tie and a tweed jacket, Padmanabhan or Paddy as he was known, became Shrila B. S. Tirtha Maharaja, dressed in saffron coloured robes. He combines his corporate experience with his spiritual quest to create lessons for modern executives to manage their companies or their personal lives. The book is based on live interviews conducted by a former Business Editor, Kul Bhushan, who conceived, wrote and edited the text bringing his extensive experience as a professional editor and a spiritual seeker.
Harish, Harry, Hurry, Hari.
Written in simple language with examples from today's corporate world and captains a business and industry, this book brings drama and personal examples and lessons for living in a stress-filled world following the 2008 recession. For managing your personal life, start with the last chapter - Harish, Harry, Hurry, Hari.

His Divine Grace tells us the raw, unfiltered reality, and many other aspects of this and the other worlds, without sugar-coating the truth. This world which we think we know so much about, has so many unanswered and inexplicable phenomena, then what to speak about the world beyond ours. Our scientists have arrogantly claimed and convinced us that we are the only intelligent and conscious beings in the entire cosmos, but Shreela Maharaj tells us that as per the scriptures, there are 14 levels within this universe, and there are billions of universes like ours, with trillions of beings.
