Beyond Birth & Death – English

Description

Beyond Birth and Death by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is a book that explores the mysteries of reincarnation and the soul’s journey after death. The book is based on lectures given by Srila Prabhupada in 1966 on the second and eighth chapters of the Bhagavad-gita.
Here are some key points from the book:
Life is a permanent condition

• The book challenges the reader to rethink what “life” means, and argues that life is a permanent condition, not a brief event between birth and death.
  The soul travels from body to body
• The book explains how the soul travels from body to body, and how to end the cycle of birth and death by reaching Lord Sri Krishna’s ultimate abode.
  Chanting the names of Krishna
• The book suggests that chanting the names of Krishna can help reveal what one is, what God is, and how to get out of conditioning.
  Some say that the book is a great read that changes your perspective on life, while others say that it has interesting ideas and is a good first book on the topic.
