The contemporary, thoughtful reader in search of self-fulfillment and a means to attain it will find The Path of Perfection a welcome relief. Herein one will find a clear, intriguing explanation of the philosophy and practice of mankind’s oldest system of spiritual development - yoga. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupOEda (1896-1977) elucidates the philosophy of yoga as explained in the Bhagavad Gita. The Gita describes the scene, when perplexed and confused about his identity and purpose; Arjuna turns to Krishna, who then reveals “the path of perfection” to His able student. The essence of Lord Krishna’s teachings is that one must center their life on the practice of bhakti-yoga that is, the union between the individual consciousness and the Supreme Consciousness. Through this historical series of talks, Srila Prabhupada offers a brilliant exposition of the methods of bhakti-yoga, revealing the universal applicability of this simple but all-inclusive form of yoga. He shows how even those who are entangled in the complexity and chaos of modern-day materialistic life can employ this straightforward practice to purify their mind and elevate their consciousness to a state of ultimate happiness.
