Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 Namastae /\ ---- Swami Chinmayananda's discourses on Narada Bhakti Sutra are used. The book can be purchased from any Chinmaya mission trust. ---- The name `Narada' indicates "one who gives knowledge of the Supreme Brahman". It is said that it was Narada who invented the most perfect musical instrument, Veena. We have a traditional story where Narada meets Vyasa on the banks of Saraswati, when Narada convinces Vyasa that, to pursue the Path of Knowledge, alone, is dry and sapless, and that without Devotion for the Lord and His Glories, spiritual seeking is joyless. Vyasa accepts the idea and undertakes to write the great Bhagavatam. As the greatest Champion of the Path of Devotion, again, this eternal devotee of Narayana, Devarshi Narada, alone can be the best Teacher to instruct us in the Philosophy of Love. May we discover this Love Divine in ourselves. May we find the courage in ourselves to live this Divine Love. May we come to explore the fulfilment of this Love Divine. Chapter1 : Bhakti-Love Divine Section1 : Of Love Divine (1 to 6) Summary: Now shall we, therefore, speak of the Love Divine – It is, in Him, of the form of supreme love, Immortal and nectarine; Gaining which, one becomes tranquil, Contented and perfect, Attaining which, one desires naught, And sorrows no more, No despises, Nor rejoices, Nor, by any, gets ever fascinated, Knowing which, one becomes a reveller in the Self, Silent in the Self, Delighted in the Self. Each of the Sootras will be elaborated subsequently. With Love, Raghava Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
