Vedanta:
An Anthology of Hindu Scripture, Commentary and Poetry is
a definitive collection of India’s religious writings from
the early Vedas that date from as far back as 2000 B.C. to such
modern sages as Ramana Maharshi. The book is a combined effort
of Johnson and his teacher and guru, Swami Prabhavananda, who
is the respected author and translator of numerous books on Hinduism.
The anthology is divided into five sections: the Revealed Scriptures,
the Epics, the Auxiliary Scriptures, the Mystic Poets, and the
Hindu Renaissance. India’s literature is vast, so the editors
had the difficult task of choosing those writings they felt best
represented thousands of years of Indian thought. They appear
to have been successful in this undertaking. Brief introductions
precede each section. This is a readable, fascinating collection
of India’s most enduring scriptures, both ancient and modern.
A wonderful addition to the library of any student of Eastern
religion. 313 pages. To order this book Click

Companions
of God is a collection of twelve short lives
of men and women saints from both East and West by Nancy Pope Mayorga.
Stretching over a period of some 2,500 years, from Lao-Tse to Sri
Sarada Devi, they testify to Mayorga’s skill at expressing
ideas with both succinctness and beauty of expression. There seems
no doubt that an extensive background as a well-known short story
writer in earlier decades earned her this talent. Mayorga was also
a practicing Vedantist for nearly forty years. Prior to her death
in 1983 she lived an intensely spiritual life. Much of this inner
life she recorded in her diary, which has been published as The
Hunger of the Soul, also by InnerQuest Publishing. To order

The
Hunger of the Soul by Nancy Pope Mayorga is
the inspiring spiritual diary of an American woman who experienced
a spontaneous spiritual awakening in 1947. For the next thirty years
she chronicled her inner spiritual journey and conversations with
her Indian guru, Swami Prabhavananda, with whom she studied for
the next twenty-nine years until his death in 1976. Mayorga was
a wife, mother, and well-established short story writer.
Two of her books found
their way onto the New York Times best seller list. Despite
her success as a fiction writer, she led a passionate inner life.
This was quite astonishing, since she had no previous interest in
religion and considered herself an agnostic. Although her journal
recounts many dry periods in her spiritual journey, they were always
followed by intervals of great bliss, and her eventual realization
that all is formed of consciousness. " I have felt the pulse
of life, “ she wrote, “and I know it to be indestructible.
The important thing is to destroy the ego sense which is destructible."
