Book Description
The reason I am writing this book is because it has never been properly given credit to the real cradle of the Who’s success: San Francisco. The concerts the Who played at promoter Bill Graham’s Bay Area venues made them grow exponentially and unified them as a band at a time that guitarist Pete Townshend recalled as artistically and financially draining. San Francisco held the band together, gave it confidence and the right input that made it become what it is known for today. The two Winterland concerts in 1968 and 1976 are pivotal, in that 1968 is the one in which the most interesting experimentation took place, while the 1976 performance is considered the band’s Zenit by everyone that was there.

Everybody sooner or later comes to crossroads where the path of life divides and you must turn one way or another. This book is based on the timeless wisdom of Vedanta, ancient Indian spiritual jewel, that leads you to examine who you are, who God is, and what the world is. In a systematic and down-to-earth manner, Vedanta questions all your taken-for-granted assumptions so that you can see for yourself what has not worked in your life so far. This book starts out with basic facts but it quickly dives deeply in life’s fundamental paradoxes. It is a kind of quick guide for serious students who are keen on exploring those issues as a means of finding solution from suffering and life’s complexities. The ultimate goal is to find the knowledge that frees you from further dependence and feelings of inadequacy and lack. This book is based on traditional Vedanta and it is written by Vedanta students, Paul and Carol Bahder, in the tradition of Swami Dayananda, who is the world’s foremost Vedanta authority. Use of Sanskrit words written in parentheses after English allows the reader to effortlessly learn technical language, if he or she wishes to. It is a Vedanta reference that invites to be visited over and over again.

Unbecoming provides the most rewarding life style and satisfaction with how you are invested you life for yourself and for the good of others.
Don't Foolish Yourself: Impermanence as the Key to Wisdom

Book Description
The subtitle of this book is “Impermanence as the Key to Wisdom.” Actually the word “wisdom” occurs only infrequently as in the expression “the arc of evolution leads to the goal of wisdom-compassion non dual” for every sentient being. In days gone by, Catholic universities especially used to feature wisdom as one of the primary goals of their curriculum. Wisdom as a feature of higher education seems to have fallen out of favor. I’m not clear on why that is, except that once upon a time, philosophy & theology used to be enthroned as the Queen of the Sciences. Not beheaded quite, but certainly dethroned, she now serves more like the scullery maid in the Castle of Technology. Whatever the case may be, I’m not talking about “wisdom” as the West has typically understood it. My explication of impermanence is about one of the many folds the universe takes to crease the fabric of its infinitely varied manifestations. I have adopted the spiritual technology of the Buddha to do this. Therefore, my approach is the rather eastern, specifically Tibetan, viewpoint of what “wisdom” means. Nevertheless, I try my best to explain the methodology from the Buddha’s toolkit in terms a contemporary western reader will not find foreign.
