Description
The subject of this book is such that it become a vade mecum for all seekers on the path. We cannot think of another book on the subject so handy and exhasutive to place in the hands of Sadhaks. The chapters are methodically arranged to suit the conveniences of readers and provide a graduated series of lesson on this significant aspect of Bhakti Yoga.
We need not emphasise the importance of this work as its subject-matter frms the foundation of spiritual Sadhana. Yajnanam Japayajnosmi - I am the sacrifice of Japa among all sacrifices, says the Lord in the Gita. It is the continous recitation of the Divine Name that forms the first rung in the ladder of Yoga, as also the undercurrent that flows beneath the different processes of Yoga.
