Easy Journey!



...Anyone who trains the mind to turn from matter to the spiritual form of the Godhead by performance of bhakti-yoga can easily attain the kingdom of God in the anti-material sky. Of this there is no doubt...
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Our next Bhakti Book Group read is Easy Journey to Other Planets, if you do not have a personal copy an online version can be found here... http://files.krishna.com/en/pdf/e-books/Easy_Journey_to_Other_Planets.pdf
