Publisher's Synopsis
Bhakti, also called Bhakti marga (literally the path of Bhakti), is a spiritual path or spiritual practice within Hinduism focused on loving devotion towards any personal deity. This is a bhakti handbook about the basic rules, regulations, and proper conduct for a practicing devotee. It has been compiled under the guidance of Prabhupad Srila Premgopal Goswami by Dauji (Dau Dayal) Das to help all devotees perform their spiritual practice properly in the appropriate mood. Below is a further explanation of the necessity of proper conduct in bhakti. It is necessary to present the original teachings in order to set the ideal standard and maintain the purity and potency of the pure bhakti tradition, its teachings, and practices. The specialty of this handbook of bhakti in practice is that it shows the way our spiritual practice has been practiced in the traditional Nityananda line (Nityananda vamsha). Our gurus in the Nityananda line are concerned to revive and maintain the original, pure, traditional way of practicing bhakti and sadacara (etiquette). Therefore, to please them and fulfill their desire, we are presenting this English edition. We hope this revised edition will be helpful, inspiring, and pleasing to our readers. We beg forgiveness for any faults, omissions, and shortcomings. And finally, we humbly pray for the blessings of all Vaisnavas. Joy Nitai! Jay Jay Sri Radhe! Dasadasanudas
