Book Description
'Shandilya Bhakti Sutra' is a Book of 100 Aphorisms on Bhakti, the path of devotion, affection and love for Lord God. It was enunciated and expounded by sage Shandilya who was a great illustrious sage of ancient India, belonging to the period of the Upanishads and the Purans. This Book removes all doubts in the mind of a seeker regarding the importance of Bhakti, and why it is an important spiritual tool and the best path to God-realisation. All learners need an easy to read and understand guide-book to help them grasp the essentials of the subject of their interest. Similarly on the spiritual path too an aspirant would need guidelines and a road map to show him the correct way forward, to tell him what to do in order to achieve success in his spiritual endeavours and warn him against the various pitfalls and how to avoid them, to provide him with some benchmarks against which he can judge his success, and at the same time tell him the wonderful reward that awaits him if he follows the instructions properly. In the spiritual realm, Bhakti (devotion, affection and love) for Lord God is of tremendous and singular importance. There are scriptures that deal with this eclectic spiritual theme, but they are so many of them, so vastly scattered and voluminous, and so varied in their contents and different in their prescriptions that a devotee is more likely to get confused and lost in the maze of advices given by them than actually be able to benefit from reading them. The present book "Shandilya Bhakti Sutra" fulfils this necessity--as it presents the guidelines of Bhakti in a very precise and concise form in a language that is easy to understand. This Book has been published simultaneously in a 'Kindle' (or e-book) edition and is available at www.amazon.com

Book Description
Narad and Shandilya are the two foremost authorities in the path of devotion. They divide it into two types - primary and secondary. The primary devotion is intrinsic, intense, and liberating. The secondary devotion is external, based on actions, and the precursor of primary devotion. He shows that primary devotion is the only cause of enlightenment or eternal freedom. The other means of self-improvement as knowledge, action, Yoga, etc., can help us attain primary devotion; they cannot lead us to liberation directly. The path of devotion is for everyone. Shandilya accepts no difference in the worship of the Supreme Being or his incarnations. This practice is in line with all other Vaishnava philosophies. He explains the various questions - why one should follow the path of devotion? How can one attain primary devotion to become fulfilled? What can help in its attainment, and what are the major hurdles? He ascribes the cause of our miseries to the absence of devotion and not to ignorance. Since devotion alone leads us to enlightenment, its absence is the only cause of our bondage.

Book Description
Mysticism in India is a complete and informative description of the teachings, works, and lives of the great poet-saints of Maharashtra written by a scholar and professor who was also a mystic. Jnaneshwar, Namadev, Tukaram, Eknath, Ramdas, and the other saints discussed belonged to the great devotional religious movement that spread through medieval India. With the exception of Ramdas, they all belonged to the tradition of the Varkaris, the most popular sect in contemporary Maharashtra. Their compositions exemplify the universality of their faith and practice, and are recognized as literary treasures. Ranade was primarily interested in the poet-saints as mystics--teachers of the perennial philosophy--whose experiences have general metaphysical and religious implications. At the heart of his classic is a comprehensive, objective presentation of the thought of these saints, augmented by a deep appreciation of their value and relevance to present-day scholars and seekers. Mysticism in India is the only major study in English of medieval Indian religious literature. The book's enduring value has been enhanced by the addition of a foreword by a scholar currently working in Marathi literature, and a preface by a present-day poet-saint of Maharashtra.

Book Description
Saints and sages say that love is devotion and devotion is love. Their deepest desire unlocked the mysteries of the spellbound heart, where each beat was used to create that garland of songs, to gift to their Beloved. And so these revelations are shared by Sage Narad, who imparts these secrets, which purify one's heart to receive the sweetest melody of the most blessed of loves. His clear instructions prepare the aspiring lover as an offering into the arms of that adorable Cowherd Boy of Vrindavan, Krishn, the One who stole countless hearts and minds with just a glance from His lotus eye or by the mere touch of His beautiful lips to a flute. Those who are desirous of Krishn's love can realise and relish Him through the bond of sacred love. The Narad Bhakti Sutra is the hymn of this sacred love, a song which concludes in a blissful union of the lover and her Beloved.

Book Description
Swami Chinmayananda's commentary on Narada Bhakti Sutra dances with the nuances of an ecstatic and enduring relationship with the Lord of ones heart that becomes the bed-rock of a devotees life. This divine love is all-consuming, yet purging and freeing in its impact. The devotee trusts the Lord like a friend, cherishes Him like a child and is faithful to Him like a wife. Where then is the need or the place for any other worldly relationship? Joy or sorrow, it is the Lord alone for him. He will play, pray, fight and frolic only with the Lord in his hearts shrine. Go for it! Get engulfed by a relationship that lasts lifetimes, riding on waves and giant waves of beatific beauty!

Book Description
The Narada Bhakti Sutras are 84 aphorisms (short doctrines) on the love of God (bhakti) attributed to Narada, a sage from Hindu mythology, and considered a classic of bhakti literature. Swami Vivekananda wrote a free translation of these sutras and gave a lecture on them to a small group of students on the "Thousand Islands" in the St. Lawrence River in New York State. His disciple Edward Sturdy also translated the sutras with the help of Vivekananda and wrote a commentary on them that clearly bears his signature. The Narada Bhakti Sutras describe the still current way to love God, which exists in all religions.
