Ancient Vedic thoughts, scriptures and beliefs predate not only Islam and Christianity, but also the worship of gods of ancient Rome. Even today the Rig-Veda's prescriptions are still performed and Vedic hymns in Sanskrit (Shlokas) are chanted and understood by millions of people in India. The teachings of 'Bhagwat Gita' are as universal in their appeal and as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
Vedic philosophy and religious thoughts are an outcome of deep religious thinking and meditation by India's sages (Rishis and Munis) over a period of thousands of years. Vedic literature is a treasure house of wisdom and truth that goes beyond the realms of time and space but the great teachings and knowledge contained therein are largely unknown in the West.
The present work, 'Sure and Easy Return to the Kingdom of God' by Sri Shyam Behari Lal goes towards redressing this balance as a presentation of the essential elements of Vedic thoughts and philosophy in a simple and lucid manner. The author vividly explains the theory of Action (Karma) and everlasting cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Vedic philosophy is presented in its true light, as a world religion.
As we expand our awareness, we slowly move from a world of ever-recurring conflicts, discords and sufferings, both internally and in our interpersonal relations, to a gradually spreading sense of abiding joy and harmony with the Supreme Godhead. This book is a description of the development process, which leads to this transformation and our return to our Primary Abode. If one desires to understand what sun is, one must first face the sunshine, then the sun globe, and then come face to face with the predominating deity of the sun. Likewise, to understand the Absolute, it is necessary to comprehend or at least know something about this creation of Elements and Forces of the Nature, the life (soul), the reincarnation, the philosophies about the greatest mystery and God Absolute. For many of us, faith is in small traces and the scientific evidences are needed to develop it. It is universally accepted that Srimad Bhagwad Gita is the Song of God, nectar of all available knowledge in materialism as well as spiritualism and lead the conditioned soul (merged in the ocean of worldly existence due to ignorance (Maya) to the realisation of God. A few points, which if we always remember make our life peaceful and blissful, by lessening the bonds of attachment, are the main contents of the book. These contents are free from sectarianism, and can be read with equal benefit by followers of all religions and if followed with reverence and faith, are sure to take the readers to lofty spiritual heights and finally to release from the bondages of the material world to finally go back to the Kingdom of God, through loving Devotional Service to God Absolute, never to return again to the material world.
