Emerson and Vedanta 
Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American Transcendental philosopher, essayist and poet, was familiar with the Bhavagad Gita and Eastern spirituality. In this short and very readable book, Swami Paramananda traces in Emerson's thought the eternal, universal principles expounded in the ancient teachings of the Vedas. 
$4.95
   
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
   
Consciousness
A Deeper Scientific Search  This is a collection of papers read at a seminar which was held at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture in Kolkata, India, in January 2006.  Learned specialists in science and philosophy and veteran practitioners of religion representing different schools actively participated, among them Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, Kalon Tripa, Chairman of the Cabinet, Central Tibetan Administration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.  The brain-mind conundrum and the science of consciousness are among the topics covered.
