"Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White" is an indispensable aid for anyone seeking to transcend America’s oppressive race-consciousness. Each section of Beyond Race is fashioned after the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad-gita, the essence of India's Vedic wisdom and one of the great spiritual and philosophical classics of the world. A student of Vedic scriptures, as well as being of "black," "white" and Cherokee heritage, Mr. Byrd believes that individuals of mixed racial backgrounds quickly begin searching for a higher spiritual truth, something that allows them to make sense of the madness behind lumping human beings into separate and distinct "racial" groupings. Along with synopses of each Gita chapter, Beyond Race includes commentary culled from Mr. Byrd's 1995-2001 Interracial Voice (http://interracialvoice.com) editorials. During or after each chapter's "race" commentary, is included a specific Gita verse for the purpose of expanding on that commentary from the Vedic perspective. 1-) Brent Kennedy, Ph.D., author of "The Melungeons -- The Resurrection of a Proud People: An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America," calls Beyond Race "An excellent and courageous piece of work." 2-) Michael J. Dahl, author of "The Pharaoh's Son," calls Beyond Race "Useful, Timely, and Authoritative." 3-) William Javier Nelson, Ph.D., author of the "Racial Definition Handbook," calls Beyond Race "A Plea for the Human Family." 4-) "Multiracial Activist" Editor & Publisher James Landrith calls Beyond Race a "Manifesto for the next level of human identity." "Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White" is also available on Amazon.com as well as Barnesandnoble.com.
The Vedas state that we should consider every human activity a failure unless the person inquires about the nature of the Absolute, the nature of God. Accordingly, those who begin to question why they are suffering or where they came from and where they shall go after death are proper students for understanding "Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White."
