Bhakti Yoga Sagar (Vol. 6)

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.

Bhakti Yoga Sagar Volume VI consists of satsangs given by Swami Satyananda Saraswati during the Sita Kalyanam festivals in Rikhia, India, from 1998 to 2000.  Sri Swamiji's love and respect for the divine Mother and all her children is transparently clear.  His practical help to all needing spiritual guidance and particularly for the needy villagers, women, and those willing to dedicate their lives to God is heart warming.  Through the Vedic and Tantric traditions of yajna, mantra repetition, seva and sharing wealth, he gives effective practices for the spiritual, social and ecological needs of today.  Wisdom, humour and compassion combine in his message to the 21st century.
