Give to Live is a collection of blog posts originally published on Krishna.com, written for spiritual seekers exploring the essence of divine love and knowledge. Karnamrita Das aims to make the philosophy of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, or bhakti yoga, approachable for those curious about the tradition or seeking to deepen their spiritual connection. Drawing from over 45 years of personal spiritual practice, he candidly shares his journey, including his challenges and triumphs as both a practitioner and a flawed human being. Each blog entry is framed by relevant quotes from his spiritual teachers or Vedic scriptures, with a short introduction to set the stage for the reflections that follow.
The book features artistic illustrations by Annapurna Devi, including chapter-opening drawings and six full-page pieces, and provides additional resources like a glossary in the appendices. The title, Give to Live, reflects the central theme: our true nature as souls is to give—to others, to the planet, to all living beings, and ultimately, to God. Genuine giving, according to the author, is fully realized when directed toward the Supreme.
Alongside personal anecdotes, the book introduces readers to Krishna, understood in the Gaudiya tradition as the ultimate source of all divine manifestations, or as described by Srila Prabhupada (ISKCON Founder-Acarya), "The Supreme Personality of Godhead." Karnamrita Das presents these ideas in a manner that respects and honors diverse faith traditions, emphasizing the concept of "One Spiritual System in the Universe" that views God through various religious perspectives.
