Taj Mahal: Was it a Vedic Temple? Photographic Evidence, by Stephen Knapp
Here we look at the photographic evidence to see the Vedic influence that is in the structure of the Taj Mahal. Controversy around the Taj Mahal exists in deciding whether it was actually built by Shah Jahan in Islamic architecture, or whether he merely took it from the previous Indian ruler, indicating that it was built according to the pre-existing Vedic science of architecture. This video is an introduction to more elaborate information and captions to these photographs that can be found at www.stephen-knapp.com and http://tajmahalrealhistory.wordpress.com.

The Ultimate Path to God, by Stephen Knapp
In this video, Stephen Knapp uses quotes from the Vedic texts that explain the most effective way to reach the perception of our spiritual identity and our connection with God.

How Your Thoughts Create Your Future, by Stephen Knapp
This video discusses how your thoughts develop your consciousness, which determines various ways that you create your future and attract both bad or good things into your life, and how to accomplish or reach the goals that are most important to you. This can also help defend yourself from negativity that may go on around you, or negative attacks from individuals. This is actually an old yogic technique. Thoughts are energies that affect your life, and meditation draws to you what your are always thinking about. This will point out that by controlling your thoughts, you begin to determine your future.

Material Creation is Proof of God's Existence, by Stephen Knapp
This video shows a few points on how the active material creation and the many living beings that are seeking so many ways of self-expression, and the means to attain so many desires, is proof that God exists. Otherwise, why would there be a need of a material creation, or anything at all, if God was merely an impersonal force or great white light only. But we can obviously see that is not the case and that innumerable living beings are all over this planet looking for fulfillment. Thus, there is also a personal creative God playing an active role in arranging this creation.For more information about Vedic spirituality, and the many books of Stephen Knapp, see www.stephen-knapp.com or http://stephenknapp.info or http://stephenknapp.wordpress.com

Sanatana Dharma: The Eternal Religion, by Stephen Knapp
This explains why Sanatana Dharma is the eternal religion or spiritual path, which exists before, during and after the material creation. It is the path to attain, and the state of being of the balanced and harmonious position of the eternal soul. It is the means by which the living spiritual entity raises their consciousness to reach their normal constitutional position and how to act in that consciousness. Thus, it has nothing to do with dogma, but only a matter of development for reaching the spiritual condition while living in this material body. That is the most any religion can do, but is the central and main point of the Vedic system of Sanatana Dharma.More information about Vedic spirituality and the many books of Stephen Knapp can be found on his websites at www.stephen-knapp.com or http://stephenknapp.info or http://stephenknapp.wordpress.com

Economics the Vedic Way, by Stephen Knapp
Economics the Vedic Way: An Introduction to a Wholesome System. This looks at the basic principles of how to provide a more balanced system of economics according to the Dharmic lifestyle, in which everyone can more easily attain what they need, lead a simple but happier life, and have time to develop themselves spiritually and investigate the real purpose of human existence. We see that many people today are completely absorbed in trying to make enough money to meet their basic needs, and often living in fear that they may lose their job and everything they have acquired in life if they do not have enough funds to keep paying for all of their expenses. This is not a wholesome system, but allows the few wealthy elitists to lead a pampered life at the expense of others. This video explains a little about the Vedic alternative so everyone can benefit.

Vedic Environmentalism, by Stephen Knapp

It is a matter of perceiving nature in the right way that will inspire and guide us into treating and honoring and caring for nature so that we work in harmony with it so that it will supply us all of important resources for many generations to come, rather than merely trying to control it in any way we want for our own profits or gains.

This uses various references from the Vedic spiritual texts to explain what or even who is the ultimate Absolute Truth and how we can perceive it.

Dispelling the Fear of Death, by Stephen Knapp
Everybody at some point thinks about death and dying. It happens to everyone. And unless one understands the spiritual perspective of death and the opportunity in it that can help us reach our long-term destiny, death can be a fearful topic for some people. But it does not have to be that way. This video offers a different and spiritual view of what the transitional process of dying can offer, which allows us to go from one realm into another if we utilize it properly, which can relieve a person of any fear of death, as explained in this video.

Material Creation is Proof of the Existence of God, by Stephen Knapp
This discusses how the material creation proves the existence of God, for without which, there would be no need of the innumerable living beings, or a material creation for the living entities to pursue the many ways they try to express themselves, or satisfy their goals and desires. In fact, without a God, there would be no need for anything at all.More information about Stephen Knapp's books, articles, research and projects can be found at www.stephen-knapp.com, and http://stephenknapp.wordpress.com
