Bhakti Yoga

An in-depth exploration of the ancient practice of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, from the author of the definitive edition of The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali

Bhakti Yoga delves into one of the eight "limbs" of yoga, the essential heart of yoga and Hinduism. While often simplified to refer to the increasingly popular practice of kirtan or group chanting, bhakti yoga is a complex and ancient tradition that encompasses many strands and practices.

Renowned scholar Edwin F. Bryant focuses on one important school of bhakti, providing clarity and insight into its depth and significance. Bryant offers his own translations of key texts and parables from the Bhagavata Purana, or "The Beautiful Legend of God," shedding light on the teachings and tales central to the bhakti tradition.

This illuminating work establishes a foundation for understanding bhakti yoga, and is an invaluable resource for all serious students of India''s spiritual heritage. Engaging and accessible, Bhakti Yoga is an essential read for anyone interested in yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and the rich tapestry of Hindu spirituality.
