About the author
Eknath Easwaran (1910-1999) is respected around the world as an authentic guide to timeless wisdom, universal in his appeal and approach. Born in a small village in Kerala state, India, Easwaran grew up listening to his grandmother's age-old stories, and learned from her wise, loving example as she guided and supported her busy extended family. As a young man, Easwaran visited Gandhi in his ashram and was deeply influenced by the way he brought spiritual values into daily life. Easwaran came to the United States on the Fulbright exchange program in 1959, and in 1961 he founded the Blue Mountain Center of Meditation, which carries on his work today through publications and retreats. In 1968, at the University of California, Berkeley, Easwaran taught the first academic course on meditation ever offered for credit at a major American university. He continued to teach his method of passage meditation and his program for spiritual living to an American and international audience for almost forty years. His books have been translated into sixteen languages, and more than 2 million copies are in print, including his best-selling Classics of Indian Spirituality series (The Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads, and The Dhammapada, Nilgiri Press 2007).

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
