Sinopse

Bhakti is a real, genuine search after God, a search beginning, continuing and ending in love. One single moment of madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. Devotional service is a process of spiritual understanding. Wherever devotional service exists, the material contamination cannot coexist. The book 'Bhakti - Devotion' discusses Bhakti using various approaches. These include: a) Collection of 'Sayings' from the Shastras. The ancient Hindu Shastras such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, Bhagavad Gita, Shrimad Bhagavata, etc., contain invaluable ?Sayings? which are a source of enlightenment. b) Sage Narada?s Bhakti-aphorisms. Sage Narada describes Bhakti as 'intense love to God, when a man gets it, he loves all, hates none, he becomes satisfied for ever.' c) A discussion of 'Bhakti-Yoga - The Path of Devotion', Chapter 12 of the Bhagavad Gita. This chapter takes us deeper into the concept of Bhakti. d) 'Bhaktas - Devotees' of the Lord. Their lives are a source of inspiration and instill in us a sense of devotion. e) Shri Adi Shankaracharya?s devotional song 'Bhaja Govindam'. It is enchanting and elevates the mind to a higher plane. f) Sanskrit Epithets of Lord Krishna and Arjuna used in the Bhagavad Gita. There is great depth in their meanings.
