Narada Bhakti Sutras
by Swami Bhuteshananda

The best and easiest path to attain God in this age, according to Sri Ramakrishna, is the path of devotion as taught by Narada. Narada Bhakti Sutras is a complete and thorough guidebook for all sincere seekers of God. Taking us from the first steps of our spiritual ascent, it leads us gently and firmly till we reach the summit. Again and again Narada urges us to strive for divine bliss and supreme love, leaving aside all distractions of this world. By singing the glories of God, meditating on Him, and constantly fixing our minds on Him, realization is not far off. Narada assures us that if we persevere in our practice, the Lord will certainly manifest Himself to us in all His glory--not only in our hearts but also as a living presence in all beings. With examples from the lives of previous lovers of God, Narada inspires us to go on and on.
