We all long for boundless love as we long for home. But how can we find our home our meaning and purpose if we don't know our self? Wise-Love is an exploration of the self, or consciousness, guided through the meditative eyes of saints, sages, seers, and mystics. As we embark on the journey to the self, we discover that the self's most charming characteristic part of its eternal, unchanging nature is that it is a lover, a lover who can be satisfied only when ordinary love evolves into wise-love.

In this volume, we see how Krishna saves his devotee from degradation. Beginning with the famous story of Ajamila, the brahmin who fell from an exalted position to become a ruthless robber and cheat, only to be miraculously redeemed at the very moment of death. Then we hear how Indra, king of the gods, insulted his guru and as a result was overpowered by the demonic races, led by Vritra, a supernatural colossus who had been conjured for the god’s destruction.

When Autobiography of a Yogi first appeared in 1946, it was acclaimed as a landmark work in its field. The New York Times hailed it as "a rare account". Newsweek pronounced it "fascinating". The San Francisco Chronicle declared, "Yogananda presents a convincing case for yoga, and those who 'came to scoff' may remain 'to pray." Today it is still one of the most widely read and respected books ever published on the wisdom of the East.

The bhakti tradition seemed irrelevant to Visakha. Five Years, Eleven Months and a Lifetime of Unexpected Love is Visakha’s deeply personal account of the emotional upheaval caused by her doubting her own cherished convictions....

Krishna - the name itself is somehow transcendental and evokes a certain distant familiarity and evocative longing. In fact, it is said the name of Krishna is not different from himself. The ancient Vedic scriptures also confirm that Krishna, as the supreme personality of Godhead, is, therefore, present in the sound vibration of his holy name.

nice story but choppy monotone reader
the story was nice but the narrator was monotone, and sounded disinterested which made this a struggle to finish. the chapters were a bit choppy and seemed to end abruptly which made me revisit the app to ensure i was not missing any chapters. this feeling couldve also been a result of the narrators delivery.

What a beautiful story
Hare Krishna,
This is a beautifully written and narrated first hand view of Makunda Goswami and his role in starting ISKCON in the 1960's. I fell in love with everyone in the book and have an even deeper understanding of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the profound love he had for the movement and his clear vision that he carried forth. A wonderful read, I finished in a few days because I could not put it down.

Needs professional narration
Good story but delivery just sucks. First person perspective from Mukunda but the deli every leaves MUCH to be desired. Really distracting points - abrupt transitions, having to hear him flip the pages he’s reading from, listening to him swallow/mouth noises, recording setting (like sitting in an empty room and reading).
Would have been a lot more tolerable to get through if it had just been professionally done.
If I knew I would get a refund I would just return it
