As baby boomers retire and enter their later years, many are turning to spirituality and religion as a source of comfort and guidance.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher who lived in ancient India between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. He is the founder of Buddhism, one of the major religions of the world. Buddha was born into a royal family, but he renounced his luxurious lifestyle at the age of 29 to seek the truth about life and the nature of suffering. He spent six years as a wandering ascetic before attaining enlightenment at the age of 35.

The Sri Brama-samhita is a collection of prayers by Brahma at the beginning of material creation after the Supreme Person Krishna gave Brahma a divine vision of the spiritual world. Brama, in his amazement, speaks volumes of divinely inspired praise before beginning his work of creation. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu acquired the Fifth Chapter of the Brama-Samhita from the Adi-Keshava temple in South India.

The author of this astonishing audiobook first became involved in the practice of devotional yoga at fifteen in 1970. Since that time Sripad Jagannatha Das has traveled the world in pursuit of his goal of self-realization through the Vedic tradition. Spending many years in India under the tutelage of many advanced devotees, Das has now reached the venerable age of sixty-nine and his quest to teach is stronger than ever. In this touching-spirited memoir, the yogi recalls his walk on the yogic path and how the deep divinity of bhakti yoga has colored his life.

The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "chālīsā" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman—his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day.

Here for the first time is the secret yoga of the ghostly realms directly from the ancient Vedic sastras of spiritual India.

In this impossibly rare collection, the great master speaks for himself via a long-lost recording based on the philosophical, esoteric, and transcendent teachings of his beloved Hindu faith, or Sanatan Dharma (everlasting truth).

Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India—like Clark Kent changing into Superman—he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s iconic book Be Here Now turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all.

Throughout history, some of the most thoughtful minds have advocated that life does not end with the death of our body, but continues via a process known as reincarnation. The Vedic literature of India advocates that the soul, or atma, gives life to the body. Life does not arise from a particular combination of material elements as some modern scientists theorize. At the time of death, we leave one body and enter a new one. That is called reincarnation.

In these talks, Ram Dass speaks openly about devotion, service, and the inner transformation that comes through love rather than effort. He returns again and again to Hanuman as the clearest expression of this path—not as a story or belief, but as a living example of selfless service, humility, and unwavering dedication to truth.

In You Are Forever, Ram Dass reflects on what endures when identity, role, and time fall away. This recording includes a full biographical narrative, interwoven with teachings that explore continuity beyond the body, beyond personality, and beyond fear.

This recording brings together the clearest, most enduring wisdom shared by Ram Dass—spoken from the place where spirituality meets ordinary human life. Here, Ram Dass speaks not as a guru above experience, but as a fellow traveler. He talks openly about ego, fear, desire, love, suffering, aging, and death—not as problems to solve, but as realities to be met with awareness and compassion. His words move gently between humor and gravity, reminding the listener that awakening is not an escape from life, but a deeper participation in it.

In these extended talks, Ram Dass speaks at length about truth and divine love as direct experience rather than belief. He examines how the search for meaning often becomes entangled with ego, identity, and fear, and how those same obstacles can become the doorway to awakening when met with awareness. Love, in these reflections, is not sentiment or morality, but a state of being that arises when resistance softens.

Newly discovered and preserved in their original form, these lectures present Ram Dass speaking directly and without mediation. There is no polish and no performance—only the teaching as it arises in the moment.

The Ramayana: The Lost Manuscript offers a sweeping, newly illuminated vision of one of humanity’s oldest and most sacred epics, restoring its grandeur, spiritual depth, and mythic resonance while bringing fresh vitality to the story of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Hanuman, and the eternal struggle between righteousness and chaos.
