Jaiva Dharma
Completed in 1896 by His Holiness Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur, Jaiva Dharma is a ground-breaking work.  In novel form, just under 600 pages and comprising 40 chapters, it details the constitution and eternal position of the soul.   Srila Bhaktivinode discusses Nitya vs Naimittika - the eternal versus the temporary natures, Dasa-Mula Tattva - the Ten Principles, Harinama Tattva - the chanting of the Holy Name, and Rasa Tattva - the relationships that the soul can have with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna.

Bhaktivinode Thakur writes: "By regularly studying this book, Jaiva-dharma, one develops pure devotion.   However, by not reading this book, one deprives oneself of the opportunity to tread the path of pure devotion."
