A review of a book you've never heard of, probably

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this when it first came out. I'd read it again if I could find a copy.
This is a very short book, more like a novella. The premise is a world that is totally materialistic, in which any desire may be satisfied, but at a cost. The world does not have enough resources to satisfy everyone's desires, so when children become adults they routinely murder their parents. Well written, with humor.

Bhakta Jim's Bhagavatam Class
If I have any regrets about leaving the Hare Krishna movement it might be that I never got to give a morning Bhagavatam class. You need to be an initiated devotee to do that and I got out before that

I enjoy public speaking and I'm not too bad at it. Unfortunately I picked a career that gives me few opportunities to do it. So this blog will be my bully pulpit (or bully vyasasana if you like). I will give classes on verses from the Bhagavata Purana (Srimad Bhagavatam). The text I will use is one I am transcribing for Project Gutenberg:
A STUDY OF THE BHÂGAVATA PURÂNA
OR ESOTERIC HINDUISM
BY PURNENDU NARAYANA SINHA, M. A., B. L.
This is the only public domain English translation that exists.
Classes will be posted when I feel like it and you won't need to wake up at 3Am to hear them.
