These ancient aphorisms about bhakti by the renowned Vedic sage Narada are finally available in English. Discover these unearthed treasured secrets.
Love of God, bhakti, is sometimes called the “storehouse of nectar,” and there is nothing more magnificent or pleasing to the soul. Our spirit hankers to gain the freedom of the transcendental realm, but without the gift of instruction from realized souls on the other side, we will remain here.
Narada extends a helping hand with these brief, transforming instructions.
From the back cover:
Down through the ages, highly evolved souls of both the East and West have taught that we can attain perfect, pure, and eternal love only when we learn to love God. Bhakti-yoga, the science of devotion, teaches us this art. And there is no greater teacher than the Vedic sage Narada.
Narada’s eighty-four jewellike aphorisms on devotion, known as the Narada-bhakti-sutra, reveal the secrets of love of God—what it is, and isn’t; what its effects are; what helps or hinders our progress along the path; and much more. For the sincere seeker of life’s ultimate goal, the Narada-bhakti-sutra is essential.
The first part of Narada-bhakti-sutra contains the commentary of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, recognized by scholars and spiritual leaders worldwide as the most distinguished teacher of Indian culture and philosophy of the modern age. The latter part has been explained by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami, one of Srila Prabhupada’s senior disciples and the author of more than two dozen books on bhakti.
