प्रश्न पूछना सीखने का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। यह सोच को एक विशिष्ट रूपरेखा देता है और अप्रत्याशित रहस्यों को खोलता है। चीज़ें जैसी हैं, वैसी कैसे-क्यों हैं, उन तथ्यों का पता लगाने से आत्मज्ञान मिलता है। जबकि सन्देह को अपने तक रखना सच्चाई से दूर, और जीवन, जो मूल्यवान अवसर दे रही है उनसे वंचित कर सकता है। लेकिन किस प्रकार के प्रश्न हमें पूछने चाहिए? साधू की बानी पुस्तक में, प्रसिद्ध साधु नित्यानन्द चरण दास ने युवाओं-वृद्धों द्वारा अक्सर पूछे गए – कर्म, धर्म बनाम अध्यात्म, मन, ईश्वर, भाग्य, जीवन का उद्देश्य, कष्ट, कर्मकांड, युद्ध आदि विषयों पर – सत्तर से अधिक प्रश्नों के उत्तर दिए। ये उत्तर अत्यधिक महत्वपूर्ण हैं जो सेल्फ़-डिस्कवरी और सेल्फ़-रियलाइज़ेशन में हमारी मदद के लिए हैं। -
Asking questions is an important part of learning as it provides a unique framework for thinking and opens doors to unexpected revelations for us. Digging into how or why things are the way they are, paves the way for enlightenment. On the contrary, keeping the doubts to ourselves can keep us from truth, thus depriving us from valuable opportunities life has to offer. As human beings, we must enquire and keep doing so. But what kind of enquiries are we supposed to make? In Ask the Monk, celebrated monk Nityanand Charan Das lucidly answers over seventy frequently asked questions-by young and the old alike-on topics such as karma, religion versus spirituality, mind, God, destiny, purpose of life, suffering, rituals, religion, wars and so on. These answers that are extremely crucial to help you, the reader, embark on the journey of self-discovery and self-realization. -

Leadership has always been a topic of interest and discussion not only amongst modern political and corporate circles, but even amongst great sages and emperors of yore. Leadership finds its relevance in spiritual circles too - spiritual leaders since ages have galvanized people for individual salvation and social transformation. In today’s times, when materialism and atheism have become super-organized, spiritual leaders also need to get their act together to organize mass movements for spiritual enlightenment. One such leader in the modern times, who has displayed a powerful combination of spiritual purity and organizational acumen is H.D.G. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada, as his followers fondly call him, established a worldwide spiritual movement called- The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) which presents the pristine teachings of the ancient Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition in a way which is relevant and relatable to the post-modern world today.This book is a handy compilation of Srila Prabhupada’s quotes on 51 leadership themes, sourced from his books, lectures, conversations, letters, biographies, etc. The book will especially be relevant for the followers of ISKCON who wish to understand the mood, message and methods of Srila Prabhupada, especially in the context of leadership. The quotes presented in this book give insights into the sublime principles of spiritual leadership by which Srila Prabhupada was able to expand Kṛṣṇa consciousness throughout the world, cutting across all cultures, ethnicities, political leanings, geographies, races etc. - inspiring and training his fledgling disciples in culture and philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, teaching them to cooperate and surrender, invigilating the spiritual standards of his centers throughout the world, standing upto and fighting with challenges & threats—both external and internal—and, at the same time, writing spotless literatures, which would form the basis of his movement for posterity. When carefully studied, these quotes reveal a very striking model and pattern of leadership that Srila Prabhupada demonstrates with respect to each of these leadership themes. Even scholars who are interested in study of rise and growth of spiritual movements would find the book quite an interesting read. -

Hard times are among life's unavoidable facts. Yet it is often our acts-how we respond to them that make hard times harder, draining our lives of meaning, hope, love, and joy. To learn how to face such times, we may turn to the Bhagavad Gita. Yet its philosophy can sometimes seem impressive but inaccessible. How can its wisdom help us through life's dark moments? Bhagavad Gita for Hard Times offers a practical three- part roadmap based on three core teachings of the Gita, showing us how to: Stop wrestling emotionally with what is so we can start working practically for what can be. Hold our plans lightly and our purpose tightly. Learn to see how God is shaping us through the things that are shaking us. For in the light of divine wisdom, no problem is endless and no pain is pointless. Chaitanya Charan has studied and taught the Gita globally for over three decades and authored more than thirty books. -
