greatest modern exponents of yoga and of the Indian spiritual tradition. Śrila Prabhupāda's talks, based upon the  Bhagavad-gitā , probe deeply into questions concerning the nature of consciousness, meditation,  karma , death, and reincarnation, and reveal clearly how even those of us entangled in the complexity and chaos of modern materialistic life can begin a simple practice that elevates our consciousness and puts us in touch with the Supreme Consciousness.
Śrila Prabhupāda (1896-1977)  was a true spiritual genius who succeeded in articulating the essence of India's perennial and universal spiritual wisdom in a form easily comprehensible and sublimely practicable for twentieth century mankind. His unique genius inspired Sri Lal Bahadur Shastri, the late prime minister of India, to declare that the writings of Śrila Prabhupāda "are a significant contribution to the salvation of mankind." This new publication,  The Path of Perfection , is destined to become a classic.
