The Sword of Knowledge is a penetrating and urgent spiritual work wherein Srila Prabhupāda wields the sharp edge of transcendental wisdom to cut through ignorance, materialism and misplaced intellectual pride.

In a world where learning is often measured by credentials, technology, and external achievements, this book challenges the reader to ask: What is genuine knowledge? Why does the soul remain restless despite accumulating so much external information? Srila Prabhupāda shows that real knowledge is not about the material mind but the living spiritual self—our eternal identity—and our relationship with the Supreme Lord. 

Key themes include:

• Cutting through material illusion (avidyā) and awakening to self-realisation.

• Understanding the soul’s place in the cosmic order and its relation to the Divine.

• Recognising that the “sword of knowledge” is intuition and revelation—not mere book-learning.

• Embracing humility, devotion and steady practice as the pathway to wisdom.

With translation and commentary by Srila Prabhupāda, this edition offers both depth and clarity—making it accessible to modern seekers, students of Vedic wisdom, and anyone hungry for truth beyond the superficial.
