Bhagavad
Bhakti contains the transcripts translated into English of all eight
discourses in their entirety and sequential order, complete with all the
scriptural quotations given by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. As each discourse is complete within itself, Bhagavad
Bhakti is compelling reading as a series and also as a collection of
individual discourses.
Shree
Maharajji delivered a series of discourses elaborating on a devotional couplet:
hari anurāg ho yā govind rādhe,
jaga
virāga ho, ho mana se batā de
In the elaborate explanation of
this couplet, Shree Maharajji clarifies the nature of attachment and
detachment. He discusses the importance of 'desire' in a devotees journey
towards God, clarifying that desire for God is in fact devotion, and this can
flourish when one firmly decides that there is no true happiness in this
world. He further says, "We have
to replace our desires for the world with desires for God. It is that simple. This is what is called true devotion or bhakti. In this practice, desires remain. You don't have to eliminate desires, and in
any case you are incapable of eliminating desires even if you tired for millions
of years."
