This is a revised and corrected edition of Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor's now
classic work on Krishna bhakti. Dr. Kapoor defines bhakti
(sometimes loosely translated as religious devotion) as it is
understood in the North Indian bhakti traditions. In addition, he
isolates what he considers the four major traits or "laws" of
bhakti, illustrating each of those laws with numerous stories from
the lives of the great bhakti saints. Though Kapoor makes a case
for bhakti's being a "science," the major value of this work lies
in its phenomenological presentation of bhakti based on the
experiences of bhakti practitioners and saints as recorded in
various premodern and modern literary sources. It is thus one of
best introductions to the religious phenomenon of bhakti available
in the English language.
