Bhakti Yoga Sagar
Swami Satyananda Saraswati
In November 1994, Paramahamsa Satyananda opened his gates to the world for the first time since he began his seclusion and austerities in 1989. This book is a faithful record of his talks during that month, in which he expounds his vision and understanding of Bhakti Yoga (the Yoga of Devotion) as the yoga of the 21st century. He answers the myriad questions posed by devotees, yet his central theme throughout is the necessity for each individual to discover his or her own relationship with God. He speaks authoritatively on many subjects, from death to the state of the nations and familial relationships, quoting extensively from the great poets and scriptures of India. The text is supported by colour plates and a comprehensive glossary.
