The Eternal Quest Bookstore

Our bookstore at the Vedanta Center of Atlanta is up and running.  We have a wonderful inventory of books, incense and – on order – CDs.  Please visit after class on Thursday nights, after worship on Sundays, or by appointment with Swami Brahmavidyananda.

Front and center in our inventory is Swami Brahmavidyananda’s ten-book series in which he has reorganized the essence of Swami Vivekananda’s Complete Works. It is specially organized for a Western audience, with a natural progression of Swami Vivekananda’s ideas.

In his extraordinary way, Swami Vivekananda gives us a remarkable grasp of the foundations, applications and the inner dynamics of a universal spirituality.

Volumes one and two deal with the inner nature and structure of a universal religion.

Volumes three through seven deal with the application of this universal religion in the areas of action, love, meditation and reason.

Volumes eight through ten bring our attention to the metaphysics of a universal religion. These three final books thus focus on the nature of misunderstanding, perception and evolution.

These books are $15.95 each.

Emerson and Vedanta  Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American Transcendental philosopher, essayist and poet, was familiar with the Bhavagad Gita and Eastern spirituality.

Hinduism and Christianity  Swami Satprakashananda explores Jesus Christ's teachings in the light of Vedanta. With numerous quotations from the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and a wealth of stories and illustrations, this book provides new insight to Hindus and Christians alike.  It is intended not to compare the two religions, but to present shared spiritual truths for the inspiration of all.  $8.95
