Kapila Muni is one of the twelve leading authorities in the\xa0Vedic\xa0tradition. His system of metaphysics and spiritual knowledge\u2014Sankhya\u2014forms an important part of India's philosophical heritage. Teachings of Lord Kapila\xa0is based on a unique series of lectures presented in Mumbai, India, in the spring of 1974, by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami\xa0Prabhupada. At the time of the Kapila lectures, Srila Prabhupada had just completed writing the section of the\xa0Srimad-Bhagavatam\xa0containing Kapila\u2019s teachings. The lectures explain the verses in even greater detail, and were later transcribed and edited to create this book. Complete with original\xa0Sanskrit, translations, and purports,\xa0Teachings of Lord Kapila\xa0discusses the significance of the guru, the psychology of consciousness, the characteristics of a self-realized person, the science of meditation, the nature of transcendental knowledge, and the process of ultimate liberation from material existence.
