Small, but very potent and powerful information. Talks about how the highest pleasure can be felt through a spiritual devotion, instead of sexual gratification. Emphasizes the benefits of chastity and abstaining from sexual pleasures. Lets people know how they can elevate themselves in life and feel true joy as well as everlasting happiness.

This book helps us for our spiritual progress. It speaks straight away without deviations. Thank you to Srila Prabhupada for giving such a nice book with vivid explaination to Rshabadeva's Teachings.

Unique views on spirituality and how to obtain it. Outdated and very repetitive.

[Daniella de Rijke Rodríguez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Small read ~ straight to the essence of bhakti yoga. Did I feel uncomfortable after reading some sections? Yes. Did I think it was a bit extreme in some aspects? Yes. Did it challenge me? Also yes. But it also brought clarity, connection, understanding to what I know is true. I don't think these types of books are the ones to rate, but the three stars correspond to how the book made me feel, which honestly, shouldn't influence anyone else's experience with the text. This is for my own log purposes.

I am definitely curious, what resonates, resonates very strongly. Like nothing ever has perhaps. And what doesn't resonate, I'm taking with a pinch of salt. Very curious about reading the Gita now, which will probably be one of my next reads. Intentional one that is.

How beautiful to experience life through a spiritual lens

As I explore knowledge, adventure, and self-esteem - I'm also exploring religion. It's a nice quick read and get us to consider healthy habits.

Have Faith, Read it with An Open mind

[Marisa Weddle · Rating 1 out of 5]

Just seems like another religious book and teachings.

[Alex Gruenenfelder · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is quite outdated. While there are nice lessons about peace and spirituality, it is also filled with repression in bigotry. In it are homophobia, sexism, and generally sex-negative outlooks. The book advocates extreme restriction, as well as being highly cult-like. Though I am glad I read this book for both the good parts and for having established an awareness of what it is, I consider it to be very much literature akin to that of any dangerous cult.

Very male-centered. Go for something if you want something a little more friendly to other genders.
