The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White"

Synopsis & Ordering Info/Options


bookcoverNamaste ("I bow to the divine in you."): I am delighted to announce that my new book "Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White" is available for purchase from Xlibris.com at:

www.xlibris.com/BeyondRace.html

A student of Vedic scriptures, as well as being of "black," "white" and Cherokee heritage, I believe that individuals of mixed racial backgrounds quickly begin searching for a higher spiritual truth, something that allows them to make sense of the madness behind lumping human beings into separate and distinct "racial" groupings.

"Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White" is an indispensable aid for anyone -- not just "mixed" people -- seeking to transcend America’s oppressive race-consciousness. Each section of Beyond Race is fashioned after the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad-gita, the essence of India’s Vedic wisdom and one of the great spiritual and philosophical classics of the world.

fingerpoint Brent Kennedy, Ph.D., author of "The Melungeons -- The Resurrection of a Proud People: An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America," calls Beyond Race "An excellent and courageous piece of work."

fingerpoint Michael J. Dahl, author of "The Pharaoh's Son," calls Beyond Race "Useful, Timely, and Authoritative."

fingerpoint William Javier Nelson, Ph.D., author of the "Racial Definition Handbook," calls Beyond Race "A Plea for the Human Family."

fingerpoint "Multiracial Activist" Editor & Publisher James Landrith calls Beyond Race a "Manifesto for the next level of human identity."

fingerpoint Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D. of The Yoga Research and Education Center calls Beyond Race "A book of sanity and hope." (Read Feuerstein's review at: http://www.yrec.info/contentid-149.html)

The Vedas state that we should consider every human activity a failure unless the person inquires about the nature of the Absolute, the nature of God. Accordingly, those who begin to question why they are suffering or where they came from and where they shall go after death are proper students for understanding Bhagavad-gita. Avail yourself of the opportunity to begin the search to finding the answer to these inquiries in this lifetime. Order "Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White" today!

Thank you
Charles Michael Byrd
