"This is a well-illustrated, easy to understand book and I know the author to have a genuine care for the well-being of the young people of India, making him the true representative of the best friend of youths today. Using his years of experience in this field Radheshyam Prabhu, has managed to produce a systematic, highly effective study of Srimad Bhagavad-gita.

I strongly recommend that a serious study of these books is done to discover India's ancient heritage and wealth of Vedic wisdom. I am confident this study course will inspire and motivate many to delve more deeply into the fathomless purports of Srila Prabhupada's books.

The Vedic texts are the panacea for all problems for all times; they give a crystal clear understanding of all the fundamental and essential truths of life including who we are, what the true goal of life is and how we can attain permanent happiness.

Unfortunately however, in the modern times, the Vedas have generally been misunderstood to be books of sentiment and blind faith or a bunch of empty rituals. And due to such preconceived misconceptions, the scientifically minded youth have reservations in even approaching them. Also, these texts being in intricate Sanskrit are not easily accessible to them.

With these considerations in mind, a need was felt for a systematic and scientific presentation of the five essential themes of the Bhagavad-gita: ishvara (the Lord), jiva (the living entity), prakriti (nature), kala (time) and karma (activity). A humble attempt towards making such a compilation was first made in 1994. Those notes were based on the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, who is internationally acclaimed as an erudite Vedic scholar and as the greatest exponent of Krishna consciousness in the modern times. References were also taken from Back to Godhead magazine articles and from discourses by senior devotees of ISKCON like His Grace Devamrita Prabhu, His Grace Radha Gopinath Prabhu and His Grace Krishna Smaran Prabhu.

We are pleased to see that the first three volumes of 'The Spirituality for the Modern Youth' series have been well received and appreciated by many. This gives us great enthusiasm to pursue this humble endeavour of serving the devotees by continuing the series. 'Discover Your Self dealt with the basics of knowledge of the soul and 'Your Best Friend' gave a systematic understanding about the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The third book was supposed to be 'Pass the final exam'. But the work became so voluminous that we had to divide it into two books - 'Your Secret Journey' and 'Victory Over Death'. In the book 'Your Secret Journey' we discussed about reincarnation, evolution, karma and material and spiritual nature. It presents the problems and this book 'Victory Over Death' presents the solution to the problems. You may see the chapter flow to appreciate how to use this book.
