Bhakti Yoga Sagar (Vol. 4)

by Swami Satyanananda Saraswati

Every year Paramahamsa Satyananda opens his gates to the world. This book is a faithful record of his talks during these times, in which he expounds on various topics including: his vision and understanding of Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of Devotion) as the yoga of the 21st century, answers to the myriad questions posed by devotees, expounding on the vedic philosophy of Yajna, from death to the state of the nations, familial relationships. Throughout he quotes extensively from the great poets and scriptures of India.

He has as his central theme throughout these books that it is the necessity for each individual to discover his or her own relationship with God. He speaks authoritatively on many subjects, with an all-encompassing vision that is both pragmatic and compassionate, Sri Swamiji addresses the spiritual and social needs of the 21st century.

The text is supported by colour plates and a comprehensive glossary.

In 1995, the Sat Chandi Maha Yajna took place under the auspices of Swami Satyananda. This was a 10 day Tantric fire ceremony - the origins of which go back millennia - invoking the blessings of the Cosmic Creatrix. The stages, imagery and purpose of the ritual were explained in detail in discourses by the great spiritual adept, Swami Satyananda, along with other topics of interest to all spiritual seekers.

Bhakti Yoga Sagar Volume IV contains satsangs given by Swami Satyananda Saraswati at Sri Panch Dashnam Paramahansa Alakh Bara, Rikhia, Deoghar, during the Ram Naam Aradhana, from 26 November to 24 December 1996.
