The Power of the Maha-Mantra

This is a systematic description of how bhakti-yoga works, the practice and philosophy of it, and how to become successful on this spiritual path.

Bhakti-yoga is the process that can take a person beyond mere faith and give direct experience of the spiritual strata and one’s real spiritual identity, beyond the body, and to the joy that is on that plane of consciousness. It is the spiritual process that is especially recommended for these difficult times.

Herein is a revelation that such a realization and experience is not only possible, but leads us to taste the greatest happiness when the soul finally reconnects to its natural condition and joyful disposition. It is like finding the home you have been looking for all your life. And now, at long last, you can reach the ultimate platform of realization, peace, comfort, bliss, and connection with Divine Love. The hankering for this has motivated all of us to seek out our real spiritual nature for many lifetimes, and now upon attaining this knowledge we have found our real destiny.

Some of the additional topics within include:

What is so special about bhakti-yoga, the universal path.

Mantra-yoga, the importance of it in this day and age.

How to make sure you have a genuine guru.

Feeling ecstatic reciprocation from the Lord.

Beginning to understand and perceive God.
