536 - Qualifying Ourselves By Knowledge & Practice (Teachings of Lord Kapila, 1)

<p>Kapila Muni is one of the twelve leading authorities in the&nbsp;Vedic&nbsp;tradition. His system of metaphysics and spiritual knowledge—Sankhya—forms an important part of India's philosophical heritage. Teachings of Lord Kapila&nbsp;is based on a unique series of lectures presented in Mumbai, India, in the spring of 1974, by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami&nbsp;Prabhupada. At the time of the Kapila lectures, Srila Prabhupada had just completed writing the section of the&nbsp;Srimad-Bhagavatam&nbsp;containing Kapila’s teachings. The lectures explain the verses in even greater detail, and were later transcribed and edited to create this book. Complete with original&nbsp;Sanskrit, translations, and purports,&nbsp;Teachings of Lord Kapila&nbsp;discusses the significance of the guru, the psychology of consciousness, the characteristics of a self-realized person, the science of meditation, the nature of transcendental knowledge, and the process of ultimate liberation from material existence. <strong>Link to the book: sravanamdiaries.com/teachings-of-lord-kapila/</strong></p>
