galaxy18 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 "First, the prospective devotee develops śraddhā or faith. Śraddhā means to have firm trust in the import of the scriptures dealing with bhakti. It also means to have a genuine desire to enthusiastically undertake the activities (sādhana) described in those scriptures. These two types of faith may be either natural (svabhāviki) or being convinced by the preaching of another (balutpadita)." (from "Mādhurya Kadambinī" by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
