Description

Bhakti Yoga: Exploring the Heartfelt Practice of Love and Devotion to God. This volume offers a comprehensive understanding of bhakti yoga, a practice that has been central to Hinduism for over two millennia. While The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali is widely studied in Western yoga circles, few Indians have actually read or practiced this canonical text. Instead, most Hindus have learned from the stories of great yogis in the bhakti literature of the subcontinent. Edwin F. Bryant delves into a Krsna tradition to shed light on the nature and expression of bhakti. He draws on his own translations of central texts from the Bhagavata Purana, a foundational text on bhakti, to provide insight into this complex practice. By comparing and contrasting bhakti with The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, Bryant establishes a baseline for understanding this ancient practice. This study will be welcomed by students and devotees of the spiritual heritage of India, offering a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their knowledge of bhakti yoga.
