Thank you for checking out this book by Theophania Publishing. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you soon. We have thousands of titles available, and we invite you to search for us by name, contact us via our website, or download our most recent catalogues. FEW words are needed in sending this little book out into the world. It is the second of a series of Manuals designed to meet the public demand for a simple exposition of Theosophical teachings. Some have complained that our literature is at once too abstruse, too technical, and too expensive for the ordinary reader, and it is our hope that the present series may succeed in supplying what is a very real want. Theosophy is not only for the learned; it is for all. Perhaps among those who in these little books catch their first glimpse of its teachings, there may be a few who will be led by them to penetrate more deeply into its philosophy, its science, and its religion, facing its abstruser problems with the student's zeal and the neophyte's ardour. But these Manuals are not written for the eager student, whom no initial difficulties can daunt; they are written for the busy men and women of the work-a-day world, and seek to make plain some of the great truths that render life easier to bear and death easier to face. Written by servants of the Masters who are the Elder Brothers of our race, they can have no other object than to serve our fellow-men.

3 conferiencias por A. Besant: La conciencia extensa - La Ley del Deber - La Ley des Sacrificio. "Lo mismo ocurre en el mundo espiritual. Podemos ver alguna vez erupciones aparentemente repentinas de las fuerzas espirituales, cambios súbitos en la vida de un hombre, mudanzas inesperadas y completas de carácter y aun la entera transformación de la naturaleza de un hombre en una hora; pero sabemos que también en esto predomina la Ley, que tampoco en esto hay desorden; y si bien no lo comprendemos aún del todo, empezamos, sin embargo, a reconocer que así en el universo espiritual como en el físico, hay una Vida Suprema con infinita diversidad de manifestaciones, y que esta Vida es siempre ordenada en su acción, por extraña, maravillosa y sorprendente que parezca a nuestros ciegos ojos."

A Struggle has began, which promises to be one of the fiercest that this century has seen, between the bigots and persecutors on the one hand and the supporters of free speech on the other. It appears, then, worthwhile to look closely into this Christian creed, which claims the right to imprison and torture men of pure life for non-belief in its tenets. Christianity threatens us with persecution here and damnation hereafter if we do not believe its doctrines. "He that believeth not shall be damned," says Jesus. "He that believeth not shall be imprisoned and pick oakum," says Mr. Justice North. The threat of damnation would trouble us little if it stood alone-we could put off consideration of that until we arrived in the other world; but the threat of imprisonment here is unpleasant. If we are to burn for ever hereafter, the Christians might really allow us to enjoy ourselves here; is their malice (like their hell) such a bottomless pit that an eternity of torture is not enough to fill it up?

El Bhagavad-guita es un importante texto sagrado hinduista. Se lo considera uno de los clásicos religiosos más importantes del mundo. Su contenido es la conversación entre Krishna -a quien los hinduistas consideran una encarnación de Visnú (mientras que los krisnaístas lo consideran el origen de Visnú)- y su primo y amigo Arjuna en el campo de batalla en los instantes previos al inicio de la guerra de Kurukshetra. Respondiendo a la confusión y el dilema moral de Arjuna, Krishna explica a éste sus deberes como guerrero y príncipe, haciéndolo con ejemplos y analogías de doctrinas yóguicas y vedánticas. Esto ha hecho que el Bhagavad-guita sea considerado un resumen breve de las doctrinas hinduistas. Durante su discurso, Krishna revela su identidad como el 'mismísimo Dios', bendiciendo a Arjuna con una impresionante visión de su divina forma universal. Se desconoce el autor del Bhagavad-guita. La mayor parte de los libros de la literatura de la India son anónimos. El Majabharata (libro que contiene al Guita) atribuye su autoría al mítico sabio Viasa. Esta traducción es de Annie Besant, la célebre fundadora de la Orden del Templo de la Rosa Cruz.
