Bhakti is a real, genuine search after God, a search beginning,
continuing and ending in love. One single moment of madness of
extreme love to God brings us eternal freedom. Devotional service
is a process of spiritual understanding. Wherever devotional
service exists, the material contamination cannot coexist. The book
"Bhakti - Devotion" discusses Bhakti using various approaches.
These include: a) Collection of "Sayings" from the Shastras. The
ancient Hindu Shastras such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharata,
Ramayana, Puranas, Bhagavad Gita, Shrimad Bhagavata, etc., contain
invaluable 'Sayings' which are a source of enlightenment. b) Sage
Narada's Bhakti-aphorisms. Sage Narada describes Bhakti as "intense
love to God; when a man gets it, he loves all, hates none; he
becomes satisfied for ever." c) A discussion of "Bhakti-Yoga - The
Path of Devotion," Chapter 12 of the Bhagavad Gita. This chapter
takes us deeper into the concept of Bhakti. d) "Bhaktas - Devotees"
of the Lord. Their lives are a source of inspiration and instill in
us a sense of devotion. e) Shri Adi Shankaracharya's devotional
song "Bhaja Govindam." It is enchanting and elevates the mind to a
higher plane. f) Sanskrit Epithets of Lord Krishna and Arjuna used
in the Bhagavad Gita. There is great depth in their meanings.
