The False Ego: Our Constant Companion & Troublemaker by Devaki Devi Dasi

The False Ego: Our Constant Companion & Troublemaker by Devaki Devi Dasi offers a penetrating exploration into one of the most elusive and deceptive aspects of our existence—the false ego.
Subtle and cunning, the false ego often masquerades as spiritual advancement, even within the realm of Krishna consciousness. Instead of subduing it, we may unknowingly nourish it—fueling pride, envy, and conflict in the name of devotion.
This book unpacks how the false ego operates, how it manipulates our thoughts and actions, and how it traps us in cycles of misery and misunderstanding. More importantly, it presents practical, time-tested tools to recognize and transcend the false ego’s influence, enabling us to cultivate core Vaishnava qualities like tolerance, gratitude, humility, and forgiveness.
With clarity, deep wisdom, and personal insight, Devaki Devi Dasi empowers readers to confront their inner saboteur and make genuine spiritual progress on the path of bhakti.
