4: Selfless Love

The deepest expression of madhurya bhakti

This expression of love is the highest that a soul can experience. According to the Bhagawatam, the ultimate authority on the devotional path of love, nothing surpasses it for intimacy in loving relation with Bhagwan, God. It is known in Sanskrit as samartha rati bhav bhakti; it is the most exhilarating expression of love. Swami Govindananda’s Guru Dev, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, encourages and wishes for all souls to aspire for this sublime experience. The knowledge given in this talk is so profound, so rare to hear, it is your great fortune to learn of it. Repeated listening is advised since it will take time to fully appreciate its subtlety, the beauty and the depth of it.
