'Shandilya Bhakti Sutra' is a Book of 100 Aphorisms on Bhakti, the path of devotion, affection and love for Lord God. It was enunciated and expounded by sage Shandilya who was a great illustrious sage of ancient India, belonging to the period of the Upanishads and the Purans. This Book removes all doubts in the mind of a seeker regarding the importance of Bhakti, and why it is an important spiritual tool and the best path to God-realisation. All learners need an easy to read and understand guide-book to help them grasp the essentials of the subject of their interest. Similarly on the spiritual path too an aspirant would need guidelines and a road map to show him the correct way forward, to tell him what to do in order to achieve success in his spiritual endeavours and warn him against the various pitfalls and how to avoid them, to provide him with some benchmarks against which he can judge his success, and at the same time tell him the wonderful reward that awaits him if he follows the instructions properly. In the spiritual realm, Bhakti (devotion, affection and love) for Lord God is of tremendous and singular importance. There are scriptures that deal with this eclectic spiritual theme, but they are so many of them, so vastly scattered and voluminous, and so varied in their contents and different in their prescriptions that a devotee is more likely to get confused and lost in the maze of advices given by them than actually be able to benefit from reading them. The present book "Shandilya Bhakti Sutra" fulfils this necessity--as it presents the guidelines of Bhakti in a very precise and concise form in a language that is easy to understand. This Book has been published simultaneously in a 'Kindle' (or e-book) edition and is available at www.amazon.com

Saints and sages say that love is devotion and devotion is love. Their deepest desire unlocked the mysteries of the spellbound heart, where each beat was used to create that garland of songs, to gift to their Beloved. And so these revelations are shared by Sage Narad, who imparts these secrets, which purify one's heart to receive the sweetest melody of the most blessed of loves. His clear instructions prepare the aspiring lover as an offering into the arms of that adorable Cowherd Boy of Vrindavan, Krishn, the One who stole countless hearts and minds with just a glance from His lotus eye or by the mere touch of His beautiful lips to a flute. Those who are desirous of Krishn's love can realise and relish Him through the bond of sacred love. The Narad Bhakti Sutra is the hymn of this sacred love, a song which concludes in a blissful union of the lover and her Beloved.

Puranas are almost like an encyclopaedia listing the human achievements in this part of the world till the time they were edited or compiled. In every cycle of time the master editor called Vedavyas emerges to edit, vet and compile these records. Their significance is enormous even in the present, as they give a peep into the distant past of Hindus when the world was evolving and the psyche of the race was being formed. These Puranas record the arguments that make us to decide as to what is holy and what is vile; what is good and what is bad. By going through them we can compare our present day jurisprudence vis-a-vis the ancient norms. Apart from that, they are a huge store-house of information conceiving every subject under the sun. It is with the view of unearthing these gems that the present series of the puranas has been planned.
