“East Meets West - Oriental Seeds in Occidental Soil” was written by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja and Satyarāja Dāsa in 1984. This article deliniates the connection between India and the USA, and in particular discusses the role that Indian philosophy played in the works of the American Transcendentalists, Emerson and Thoreau.

‘The Literalist’, an article written by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in October 2009, deals with the literal and non-literal interpretation of śāstra, looking at both sides and giving examples from a neutral perspective (taṭasthā vicāra).

“Guru-pādāśraya” was written by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in 2018 in response to questions from a devotee regarding guru-tattva. He deals with the absolute and relative statements of the guru, guru-niṣṭhā, and losing faith in the dīkṣā-guru.

In ‘Bhaktivedānta,’ written in 2002, Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja explains the history of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s name which was changed several times after the disappearance of his guru – each one is important and with a deep-rooted meaning that is rarely understood or appreciated.

“Love of God is Dormant in the Heart of the Jīva” was written by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in 2002. This article expands upon Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura’s explanation of jīva-tattva, and quotes extensively from his Tattva-sūtra.

'Ṛg Veda' is an unfinished article by Swami B.G. Narasingha that he wrote in 1998. In this essay, Narasingha Maharaja comments on the famous ṛk from the Ṛg Veda, tad viṣṇoh paramaṁ padaṁ and connects it with the concept of consciousness.

’Visit to Śrī Raṅgam’ was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha and first published in Back To Godhead magazine on November 20th 1985. In this article Swami Narasingha talks about the history and significance of Śrī Raṅgam in relation to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s visit there in the year 1510.

“Hearing From a Rāsikācārya” was written in August 2000 by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja. In this important article, Mahārāja explains how the previous ācāryas have warned immature sādhakas not to stray into ‘dangerous waters’ by gate-crashing into the higher līlās of Rādhā-Govinda. He also stresses the importance of anartha-nivṛtti and nāma-saṅkīrtana.

This short article “Does God Exist?” was written in 2000 by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja, answering a fundamental question, ‘How do we know that God exists?’
