Dear friends, welcome to another summary of great books posted on HolyBooks.com during the last week - and welcome to the many new receivers of this newsletter.
In the beginning of last week we had some problems with the website for a couple of days. The reason was that a fiber cable in Germany was dug over. It is fixed again, but the incident made it clear to me that a backup server in US or Asia is needed. My hope is that it will be possible during 2011 with the help of my programmer and financial supports from users. Other things you can do to help spread these books: Send me suggestions for books.

From the book: “The <http://www.holybooks.com/introduction-to-vedanta-understanding-the-fundamental-problem-by-swami-dayananda/> Upanishads, the source of Vedanta, say that before this creation was, the self, limitless being, was. It further says that this self continues to exist outside of time and is therefore eternal. And it states that no action one can perform will ‘gain’3 this self, even though it is an ever-present reality… because actions are limited while the self is unlimited. Therefore it is at odds with Yoga on this issue. The discovery that one is the limitless self is presented as liberation or enlightenment by Vedanta.” Download it here: <http://www.holybooks.com/what-is-advaita-vedanta-experience-and-knowledge/> What is Advaita Vedanta? <http://www.holybooks.com/the-story-of-swami-rama-the-poet-monk-of-the-punjab-by-puran-singh/> The Story of Swami Rama The Poet Monk of the Punjab by Puran Singh ( <http://www.holybooks.com/> HolyBooks.com - download free ebooks) Fri, 9 Sep 2011 4:56:35 EDT <http://www.holybooks.com/the-story-of-swami-rama-the-poet-monk-of-the-punjab-by-puran-singh/> Swami Rama Tirtha biography ebookThe Story of Swami Rama The Poet Monk of the Punjab by Puran Singh is the biography of Swami Rama (Swami Rama Tirtha).

Falk is a very entertaining look at the correlation between popular music and the musicians spiritual beliefs and practices. From the introduction: “One may or may not take seriously ideas such as meditation, yoga, astral travel, paganism, or the magick of Aleister Crowley. Nevertheless, a detailed understanding of those “spiritual paths” holds the key to a proper comprehension, not only of the private lives of our “guitar gods,” from Jimi Hendrix on down, but of the deeper meanings behind songs which we hear every day on the radio—from the Beatles to Zeppelin, from Marilyn Manson to Billy Corgan to System of a Down. I have relied largely on documented influences and meanings for each relevant song covered here, rather than bringing my own interpretations to bear on the words.” Download Rock & Holy Rollers here: <http://www.holybooks.com/rock-holy-rollers-the-spiritual-beliefs-of-chart-topping-rock-stars-in-their-lives-and-lyrics/> Rock & Holy Rollers – The Spiritual Beliefs of Chart-Topping Rock Stars in their Lives and Lyrics By the way, Geoffrey D.
