Knowledge
The knowledge made available to you through Bhakti Marga helps you realise who you truly are, where you come from, and what the real purpose of your human existence is.
"We are not aware of things until we understand their deeper meaning. Someone will ask you to look at a stone, and you will look at it, but if you have no knowledge of it, it will be just an ordinary stone, won't it? But when that person tells you it is a very precious stone, what happens? At first you look at it as any other stone, but when you hear that it is precious, a special appreciation begins to awaken in you. 'Ah, it is precious!' Then that person tells you it is a diamond, and you like it even more. Your interest grows even more! After that, they tell you it is the philosopher's stone. Wow! Now you have great dreams!
The more you know something, the more your appreciation of it grows. The more you know Bhagavan, the closer you come to Him through your bhakti, the more your bhakti arises. First, by knowing yourself, and then, the greater is the surrender to Him."
Quote from Paramahamsa Vishwananda, from the book Mukunda Mala Stotram, page 27
Tadatmya Vedanta
The treatise Tadatmya Vedanta was written to systematise the teachings of Paramahamsa Vishwananda into a coherent Vedantic philosophy and to preserve them for future generations. It should be seen as a framework that helps followers of the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya deepen their understanding of the path they walk. Swami Vishwananda's approach has always been experience first, knowledge after.
Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita reveals the truth of authentic spirituality in only 700 verses. It contains everything you need to know about attaining awareness of the Self and of God through bhakti, the path of devotion.
The Bhagavad Gita gives spiritual seekers a map to the source of divinity itself.
Paramahamsa Vishwananda's simple yet elegant commentary brings this timeless discourse to life and shows us how to live its wisdom in our everyday life.
Knowledge is important for living bhakti. It provides the roots for understanding the path and the inspiration to live, love, and grow over time.
Shreemad Bhagavatam
This timeless scripture opens the heart to Divine Love. It is filled with moving stories of how the Supreme Lord is born throughout the ages to interact with His devotees in a wide variety of relationships.
Paramahamsa Vishwananda has distilled the original 18,000 verses into the most endearing accounts. His insightful commentaries reveal the hidden meaning of these stories and illustrate how to take the knowledge seriously and move forward on your spiritual path.
