Yoga of Writing

Summary

Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Basics is a series of books written and compiled by Yashomatinandana Dāsa for the pleasure of his spiritual teachers, like Śrīla Prabhupāda. By refreshing the ancient Vedic teachings of Bhakti-Yoga the author aims to build a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern thinkers who are willing to lead a life of spiritual relationships.

In the series are books about faith, searching truth & self-realisation through the ancient teachings of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness as spoken by Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, 5000 years ago.

Writing is the perfect bond. Anywhere and with everyone one can simply connect through writing. It is the most powerful art and thus it needs proper training. One needs to have a guide, a person who gives light into the darkness of mind and matter. This guide is not materially oriented but spiritually inclined, being based on Śrimad Bhāgavatam and the devotional tradition of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.

In this book a thought-provoking path is presented to 1) establish a spiritual connection with the Absolute Truth, 2) to channel emotions, thoughts and ecstasies through this connection 3) to bring about a revolution in one's boring and stagnant material life and 4) to reawaken love of God.

This book is aimed to give a taste to modern human beings (who are defined as ‘wise’) to relish spiritual loving relationships with God. It is also to challenge the egocentric and antigonistic world of men by presenting a better understanding of human life and purpose. Furthermore it is to bring freedom to the diseased mind and heart of modern human beings in a way that even a child can understand. Finally, it may bring back the pleasure of serving God and His devotees, simply by writing.
