The Art of Contemplation
Humans have contemplated the nature of existence for countless ages. The night sky has humbled us. The vast waters of the oceans have compelled us to learn their secrets. The changing seasons ...the mysteries of birth and death ... the wonders of animal and plant life. There is no end of subjects to "contemplate," which the dictionary defines as to "look at thoughtfully, to pay attention and ponder, to dwell upon at length, to investigate, meditate upon, plunge into." And yet, in our attempts to "fix" what seems out of our control, we humans often ignore the contemplative rumblings that sound from the depths of our busy and challenged lives. Now more than ever, we need to remember our essent...
Krishna's Heretic Lovers
"This historical fiction tells the tale of Chandidas and Rami, two 14th century lovers. He is considered the Father of Bengali poetry, and she was a washerwoman, low caste. This is the story of their love and the great poetry it inspired."--
On the Road to Enlightened Duality
While traveling the road on pilgrimage, or following American Baul Master, Khepa Lee Lozowick (1943-2010), in his daunting travel schedule, author Mary Angelon Young crafted a collection of essays that explore and evoke the many moods of “Enlightened Duality,” one of Lozowick’s core teachings in the path of Western Bauls. This dynamic spiritual principle suggests that the spiritual seeker can combine an integrated awareness of the nondual (“all is One”) with a lively, conscious relationship to the duality or play of opposites that is the constant fare of everyday life. Unlike those strictly nondual perspectives that relegate the human experience to an illusion of the mind, Lozowick...
The Baul Tradition
This book traces the Baul Path, a Tantric spiritual tradition, from its earliest roots in the subcontinent of India, to its dissemination in the West in modern times. “Baul” – meaning “madcap” or “taken by the wind” – describes one who has a vision of reality so piercing & clear that they are called to live in a way that goes against the common grain: the safe, plodding life of the mainstream. In the East, for centuries, Baul bards & yogis wandered the dusty roads of Bengal singing & dancing with joy in praise of God. Their poetry-songs uplifted ordinary people, transporting all above the daily grind for survival & into a direct experience of the sublime. Sahaja is the hallma...
Yogi Ramsuratkumar
Yogi Ramsuratkumar was a man who was compelled by a burning love of the Divine to give up his home, family and profession to wander the roads of India as a beggar. Passing through trials and tribulation few could endure, he met many of his contemporary mystics of our day, including his two preparatory gurus, Sri Aurobindo and Ramana Maharshi, finally landing at the feet of Swami Papa Ramdas of Kerala. This book takes the reader into the unfolding story of this great yogi's life. First-hand accounts, anecdotes and teachings transport the reader into his world: a world that is mystical, miraculous and astounding in its scope, while at the same time it is mysteriously felt to be "nearer than near". To be touched by the truth, beauty and love that emanate from such a being is to be reminded of our deepest longings. The life of Yogi Ramsuratkumar calls upon us to touch that longing within ourselves and to celebrate the inspiration of one rare individual who abandoned everything for the love of God.
Janis Joplin
Forty years after her death, Janis Joplin remains among the most compelling and influential figures in rock-and-roll history. Her story—told here with depth and sensitivity by author Ann Angel—is one of a girl who struggled against rules and limitations, yet worked diligently to improve as a singer.

And finally, it’s the story of one of the most iconic female musicians in American history, who died at twenty-seven. Janis Joplin includes more than sixty photographs, and an assortment of anecdotes from Janis’s friends and band mates. This thoroughly researched and well-illustrated biography is a must-have for all young artists, music lovers, and pop-culture enthusiasts.

The Company of Avalon
The year is 1538 ce ... Richard Whiting and his courageous companions are the stewards of impossibly rare artifacts that have been safeguarded for millennia within Glastonbury Abbey by a secret inner circle called the "Company of Avalon." Struggling to endure through the brutal religious reform of Henry VIII, in a race against time and the looming shadow of the gallows, Abbot Whiting defies the king while the Company of Avalon colludes in secret to remove the treasures-including the bones of King Arthur and relics of Jesus, brought to ancient Briton by Joseph of Arimathea-to a remote isle of Scotland. Full of intrigue, myth and magic, with historical detail and unforgettable characters caught in the web of fate, the story unwinds the secrets and mysteries behind the bones, Joseph's relics, and the veneration of Mary Magdalene, along with the consequences of their bold mission. The Company of Avalon is the first book in The Summer Country trilogy spaning fifteen hundred years in legendary Somerset, England. The saga of the conspirators in Book One sets the stage for the prequels that follow in Book Two, The Queen's Tale, and Book Three, When Swans Fly.

Remembering Lee
The many individuals who anonymously contributed to this book had one thing in common. Each one met (in person or in dreams) and spent time with (sometimes hours, sometimes decades) the American-born spiritual teacher, Lee Lozowick (1943-2010). This is not a chronological collection, nor a compilation of dharmic teachings. It is rather a testimony to a human being who devoted his life to the benefit of others. Not necessarily to their worldly accomplishments although he was a passionate advocate for our success in various arts, and our business ventures but primarily to the realization of our true nature, the possibility of surrender to and love for God, and the liberation from the prison of...
