I am Kendra Crossen Burroughs, an American Baba-lover since 1968. My lifelong profession has been as a book editor, and I have also published some of my own writing, including an annotated book on the Bhagavad Gita and one on selections from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. After publishing articles and reviews in the Glow International and the Love Street LampPost, I began my “Kendra’s Notebook” blog to gather some of my old and new writings about Meher Baba, including introductory articles on Baba and accounts of local events in Myrtle Beach. At many programs held at Meher Center in Myrtle Beach, I took notes and then wrote up a summary of the talk (or video of a talk) for those who could not be there. These are on my blog and include talks by Filis Frederick, Lud Dimpfl, Jangu Irani (Mehera’s nephew), Stella and Ralph Hernandez, Don Stevens, Jimmy Khan, Charles Haynes, Esfandiar Vesali, and others. I also feature the work of Baba artists such as Balagopala, Diana Le Page, Marla Faith, and Vicente Herrero Heca. My most popular article, according to what people tell me they like, is called “Say Goodbye to Worry” and describes my preference for determinism over free will. Recently I posted my first little video, a short clip of Phyllis Ott taken in my kitchen. I look forward to devoting more time to writing my personal thoughts about Meher Baba as well as sharing the words and images of others.

An ancient classic that can become a companion for your own spiritual journey. Millions of people turn daily to India’s most beloved holy book, the Bhagavad Gita (“Song of the Lord”), to instruct their spiritual practice. A Hindu classic, it has universal appeal for people of all faith traditions who turn to its inspirational support in the struggles of life, its consolation in times of grief and its deeply moving promise of God’s love and guidance. Composed in Sanskrit verse thousands of years ago, this timeless text tells the story of a distraught warrior on the verge of battle and the compassionate counsel he receives from Krishna―God in human form. In just seven hundred lines, the Gita presents concise teachings on such topics as the immortality of the soul, meditation and yoga, worship and sacrifice, the ideal of selfless action and the oneness of all life in the Divine. Now you can read and understand the Gita with no previous knowledge of Hinduism required. This SkyLight Illuminations edition offers insightful yet unobtrusive commentary that explains references and philosophical terms, shares the inspiring interpretations of famous spiritual teachers and addresses questions such as the inner meaning of India’s caste system and why this sublime discourse on inner peace is set against the background of a violent civil war.
