Overview

"UPDATED and IMPROVED! When faced with diverse and sometimes opposing theological conclusions within a religious tradition, how are we-whether scholars, practitioners, or both-to discern the ""truth""? Confronted with apparent contradictions in contemporary Gauḍīya teachings as to whether bhakti is inherent within the jīva or it is bestowed to one by another, Swāmī B. P. Padmanābha sought to resolve these contradictions in order to nurture and nourish his own practice. As Swāmī set out to thoroughly understand both sides of the argument, his exclusive reliance on and exhaustive integrated search of the traditional sacred texts established by the founders of the Gauḍīya lineage replicated the methods of epistemology used by the founders themselves. The reader, therefore, benefits not only from the conclusion of the dissertation regarding the nature of bhakti but additionally from the demonstration of Gauḍīya epistemology in motion."
