greatest modern exponents of yoga and
of the Indian spiritual tradition. Srila
Prabhupdda’s talks, based upon the
Bhagavad-gitd, probe deeply into questions
concerning the nature of consciousness,
meditation, karma, death, and reincarna-
tion, 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 con-
sciousness and puts us in touch with the
Supreme Consciousness. .

Srila Prabhupida (1896-1977) was
a true spiritual genius who succeeded in
articulating the essence of India’s peren-
nial and universal spiritual wisdom in a
form easily comprehensible and sub-
limely 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 Srila Prabhupdda “are a sig-
nificant contribution to the salvation of
mankind.” This new publication, The
Path of Perfection, is destined to become a
classic.
