108 reasons to liberate your laxmi points for a Jayananda book

You’ve been man-handled with these so-called “good hands” for so many lives. These so-called insurance fraud false protectors, this so-called claim of being “in good hands,” they cannot protect you from the invincible material energy. No, they are all fallible hands filled with the grim of lust, anger and greed. Let yourself be held securely in really “big lovable hands” with the saints, especially with Sriman Jayananda Thakur. Jayananda has big hands for everyone, by which we all can be firmly held, and protected from the onslaughts of maya. You’re in “big and lovable hands” with Jayananda Thakur.

Forget this material illusion and seek spiritual happiness, just read and feel the blissful life of Jayananda.

Suppose the fag end of life raises its ugly head, friends and family neglect, even your dog growls in annoyance when you pet him, and children stop their sing-song laughter and stare when you come around, the whole world is indifferent, seems like check-out time is right around the corner. Don't take it personal, it happens to everybody, and eternal love awaits you, correction - eternal love is there all ready - in the dust of the lotus feet of Krishna's representative and saint, Srila Prabhupada and Jayananda Thakur.

Put on the brakes and slow down, just read a Jayananda biography and taste spiritual bliss in the here and now.  

Suppose you judge a book by its cover, well you’ll love this book cover, and the book inside too. 

Suppose you are a high power player in the market and always make bullish speculative investments, which are sure to yield you high returns. Well, your best bet is this Jayananda book, as the Srimad-Bhagavatam second canto says that- “Money given in charity to a suitable person is guaranteed bank balance in the next life ... and if the money is given to a veda-paraga (one who has factually realized the path of the Vedas), it is returned by unlimited multiplication.” Jayananda is the proper recipient in this regard, as he’s “realized the path of the Vedas” by satisfying Krishna and Srila Prabhupada and going back to Godhead.

You see the vision in your mind’s eye, the beautiful sight of all the orange and tasty marinated mango chunks floating in your basmati rice, you remember the relish of those burning bolts of pleasure inundating your gullet, the beads of perspiration popping out on your forehead, all gone, all soon to be just a fading memory! … could things get much worse than this? Ah cruel fate! .. Take heart dear friend …. You can get that higher taste, don’t worry, just surf on to Jayananda.com for the relish that lasts longer than pickle...
