Bhakti Shatak (Hundred Gems of Divine Love)

Bhakti Shatak encapsulates the ocean of Vedic knowledge in a sublimely lyrical and contemporary way within hundred devotional couplets.

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj has revealed the highly abstract concepts of our scriptures in such a lucid way that even a layperson will understand effortlessly. The Supreme Master has evinced his causeless compassion by explaining each couplet using simple language, otherwise it would be impossible for anyone with a mundane intellect to comprehend the abstruse mystical thoughts contained within his poetry. This addition makes it possible for any reader who possesses the appropriate sentiments and eagerness to benefit in untold ways from this book. All doubts and reasoning, both good and bad are resolved as one realises the senselessness in wasting any more time in arguments. With such a plethora of scriptures like the Vedas and Shastras, etc., a layperson could dedicate his entire life to their study, and yet would not be able to even turn all the pages, what to speak of actually reading them.

This book has been prepared in response to the loving requests of devotees. Words said in praise may not be appreciated by some scholars, and any criticism may hurt the feelings of some devotees. It is therefore left for readers to decide for themselves whatever they deem appropriate. Even if a single seeker derives benefit on his or her journey on the path of bhakti from reading this book, I will feel a sense of achievement. This work containing the principles of the path of bhakti is dedicated to the lotus feet of Shri Radha Krishna.
