Book Description
This is a comprehensive text on Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of Devotion). It covers all aspects of Bhakti Yoga with detailed guidelines for its practice. It is one of the four major paths for attaining the life’s goal of Self-realization or God-realization. Compared with the other paths, the practice of Bhakti Yoga is far simpler, less austere and more natural. Everyone may not have exceptional energy to practice Karma Yoga, or keen intellect for practicing Jnana Yoga, or one-pointed concentration for practicing Raja Yoga, but all have love in their hearts for practicing Bhakti. Therefore as the Divine Sage Narada states, Bhakti is the easiest of the spiritual paths. Though all the paths of Yoga lead to the same goal, Bhakti is considered to be superior to the other paths in some respects. In all other paths, there is the fear of a fall, but in Bhakti there is no such fear. The other paths are methods of practice and are needed as long as one has not realized the supreme. They only help the aspirants on their way to the goal. But supreme devotion (Para Bhakti) is, on the other hand, the goal in itself. Bhakti is both the means and the end. Supreme Devotion and God realization are identical. Bhakti is a living force in the spiritual life of the world. Throughout the ages many devotees have realized God by deep devotion and self Surrender.

Book Description
In Living a Bhakti Life, author A. R. Pashayan recounts experiencing a “spiritual download” in 2004 during meditation that literally changed her life. She was tormented with repetitive dreams of death, night after night, brought on in part by a death in the family, stress from work, and no alone time. She, along with a friend, tried analyzing the dreams. Nothing was clear until she took a month-long break in a place that looked like Heaven—Telluride, Colorado, where she finally left her old self behind. Her dreams made sense now. Her spiritual download paved the way for a new level of understanding life, illness, stress, and practical spirituality. She started practicing Bhakti yoga and meditation, and she finally found calm. Bhakti yoga is defined as a spiritual path described in Hindu philosophy used for fostering love, utter faith, and surrender to God. There is only one path to God: the path to grace, or Bhakti. Through yoga and quiet contemplation on top of the mountain, she soon discovered that it was possible to literally “be” unconditional love. In Living a Bhakti Life, Pashayan opens a pathway to enlightenment and God’s love through Bhakti yoga through divine power and divine love.

Book Description
Open Your Heart to Nature and Beyond maintains there is one problem—separation from the Divine— and one solution—applying some form of forgiveness. It details the holding relationships that actually separate us from the Divine and how to use the Law of Forgiveness to let them go and open our hearts to God’s presence. Like a computer delete key, the activity of forgiveness allows us to let go physically, emotionally, and mentally until we join Universal Being. This Divine encounter is divided into 7 distinct stages with descriptions based on experiences of the author as well as poets and individuals from other major religions. This book also suggests that a religious experience is simply having an experience of the Zero Energy Field as defined in quantum physics. The Zero Energy Field is defined as the activity of subatomic particles such as photons, electrons, and other quantum particles in space at temperatures of absolute zero. Research indicates that humans can affect this field with pray which is the mental activity of calling these energy particles to organize and outpicture as manifestations in nature. We also have the ability to apply the Law of Forgiveness that Jesus introduced and release the electrons, neutrons, and protons forming something in the world and in our minds and thereby causing them to disorganize them and return to the Zero Energy Field. The human activity of forgiving or letting things, thoughts, and emotions go shows that we have the mental ability to apply the Law of Entropy and disorganized manifested things and release them back into subatomic particles in the Zero Energy Field.

Book Description
Bhakti yoga is a spiritual path or spiritual practice within Hinduism focused on the cultivation of love and devotion toward God. It has been defined as a practice of devotion toward God, solely motivated by the sincere, loving desire to please God, rather than the hope of divine reward or the fear of divine punishment. It is a means toward a state of spiritual liberation or enlightenment through the "realisation", or the attainment of "oneness" with God. Bhakti yoga is often considered by Hindus to be the easiest way for ordinary people to attain such a spiritually liberated state, because although it is a form of yoga, its practice is not as rigorous as most other yogic schools, and it is possible to practice bhakti yoga without needing to become a full-time yogi. The origins of Bhakti can be seen in the upanishads, specifically the Shvetashvatara Upanishad. The Bhagavad Gita, and the Puranas are important scriptures that expound the philosophy of bhakti yoga. Hindu movements in which bhakti yoga is the main practice are called bhakti movements – the major schools of which are Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism.

Book Description
Bhakti-Yoga is a real, genuine search after the Lord, a search beginning, continuing, and ending in love. One single moment of the madness of extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. This love cannot be reduced to any earthly benefit, because so long as worldly desires last, that kind of love does not come. Bhakti is greater than karma, greater than Yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means and its own end. This edition includes the Swami's ten lectures on Bhakti Yoga, plus ten more on the Supreme Devotion called Para-Bhakti.
