Here’s a fascinating series of insights into some of Western philosophy’s salient ideas and a concise yet thorough presentation of the basics of bhakti-yoga.

From Socrates to Sartre, Western philosophers have grappled with the ultimate questions: “What is the meaning of life?” “Does God exist?” What is the Supreme Good, and how can we achieve it?”

Beyond Illusion and Doubt, is a remarkable series of conversations on the ideas of fifteen leading Western philosophers in which Srila Prabhupada critically analyzes the philosophy of each philosopher, presents the Vedic view, pointing out their pluses and defects, and outlines the process of yoga by which we can transcend illusion and doubt in our own lives and proceed with certainty on the path of perfection.
