Bhagawad Gita and Ananya Bhakti

<p>Bhagavad Gita as many of us are aware is a precious treasure-house of practical philosophy. It is our fortune to have in our midst many devotees – Pothana Annamaya Sant Tulsidas Meerabai and many others – who with ananya bhakti (exclusive devotion) relentlessly imparted the sublime truth embedded in Gita to the mankind whilst keeping their minds away from their sufferings in their personal lives. With the mind always riveted on Paramaatma the creator of this beautiful world it does not matter whether one stays in the forest as a hermit or live as a mere householder. This is the magnificent message contained in their scintillating as well as educative kirtanas / bhajans / songs. Listening to these divine compositions and understanding the deeper philosophical meanings implanted therein is indeed a precious tribute to these devout devotees. This aspiration underpins the essence of the narration in the book – a short one with the prime aim of enkindling the minds and souls of ignorant humans like the author.</p>
