This week we are having a sale on some of the best and most popular books from Light of the Spirit Press. Frequent readers of OCOY.org know that we offer free PDFs of our books, but many people like to read their books on Kindle and ebook devices, or own their own paperbacks for their permanent spiritual library. Therefore for the next few days we are offering the following four ebooks on sale.
The Christ of India: The Story of Original Christianity
The unique story of Jesus, Saint Thomas his Apostle, and how the Dharma of India became part of Saint Thomas Christianity
“Original Christianity” is the teaching of both Jesus of Nazareth and his Apostle Saint Thomas in India. Although it was new to the Mediterranean world, it was really the classical, traditional teachings of the ancient rishis of India that even today comprise Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Dharma, that goes far beyond religion into realization.
In The Christ of India Swami Nirmalananda presents what those ancient teachings are, as well as the growing evidence that Jesus spent much of his “Lost Years” in India and Tibet. This is also the story of how the original teachings of Jesus and Saint Thomas thrived in India for centuries before the coming of the European colonialists.
The ebook version of The Christ of India is available for only 99¢ this week on Amazon here.
The Bhagavad Gita for Awakening: A Practical Commentary for Leading a Successful Spiritual Life
This is the first of two books from the Dharma for Awakening Collection which we are offering in this sale.
Publisher’s Weekly says this about The Bhagavad Gita for Awakening: “[Abbot George] Burke enthusiastically explores the story as a means for knowing oneself, the cosmos, and one’s calling within it. His plainspoken insights often distill complex lessons with simplicity and sagacity. Those with a deep interest in the Gita will find much wisdom here.”

Swamiji illumines the practical wisdom of Buddha in the Dhammapada – and more importantly, and make that makes that teaching relevant to present day spiritual seekers.

Sanatana Dharma: The Eternal Religion
Sanatana Dharma, commonly called Hinduism, is not just beautiful temples, colorful festivals, gurus and unusual beliefs.
It is, simply put, “The Way Things Are” on a cosmic scale. It is the facts of existence and transcendence.
It illumines who we really are, what the world is, and how we should live our lives to go from mere belief to actual Realization of the Ultimate Reality we call God or Brahman.
Swami Nirmalananda has edited for the modern reader a book originally printed nearly one hundred years ago in Varanasi, India, for use as a textbook by students of Benares Hindu University. Its original title was Sanatana Dharma, An Advanced Text Book of Hindu Religion and Ethics.
The ebook version of Sanatana Dharma: The Eternal Religion is available for only $1.99 this week on Amazon here.
