THE SECRETS OF BHAKTI

A rejuvenating classic that creates ripples deep within!

T he Secrets of Bhakti as Narrated by Sage Narad’


is a commentary on Narad Bhakti Sutras. Narad
Bhatki Stutras are attributed to Devarishi Narada and
is a philosophy of love for God.

‘Secrets of Bhakti’ is authored by Taoshobuddha,


officially known as Brij K Saksena. Taoshobuddha
calls the Narad Sutras as Aphorisms of Love.

Swami Chinmayananda explains that Narad Bhakti


Sutras are an authoritative text upon the philosophy of
Devotion.

Bhakti Sutras consists of eighty four sutras - mostly one


line each which are pregnant with meaning and
explaining the path of devotion.
The Secrets of Bhakti as Narrated by Sage Narad
by Taoshobuddha tries to unlock the world of Bhakti as
explained by Sage Narad:

Bhakti is the Union of Formless to Formless.

_aiKt inrakar se inrakar ka imln hE.

Here is an example of a Sutra explained in the book


(excerpt):

Swayam Falroopteti Brahma Kumara – Sutra 30

Bhakti is its own reward; thus declare Sanat Kumara,


the son of Lord Brahma.

Love is its own reward. Such is the opinion of Santa


Kumara. Devotion depends on nothing. Love breeds
itself. A devotee is born for devotion. Also he seeks his
fulfillment from Love alone. The more he pours out of
his being, the more love grows. Love reciprocates love.
In devotion love functions both as the means and the
end as well.

Devotion springs forth in some, sometimes, not because


of any specific reason. It emerges itself. And when it
springs forth, it engulfs the entire being. One cannot
resist this. And when devotion grows it discovers its own
fulfillment.
The Secrets of Bhakti as Narrated by Sage Narad is
published by Sterling Paperbacks. The book contains a
scholarly introduction by Prof. Rattan Lal Hangloo. The
book is compiled and edited by Swami Anand
Neelambar.
