Dashangamahabhaktiyoga

Shri Gurudev Shrinivasaji’s book titled ‘Dashangamahabhaktiyoga’ sheds light on ten various aspects of devotional practice.The importance of various aspects of the devotion such as devotion conduct, service, character, meditation, raga, anurag, atirag, apathy and premaharsha has been revealed by Shri Gurudev Shrinivasaji through this book. In his composition ‘Shri Haripath’ by Shri Gnyandeva, he mentioned the phrase ‘Dashakacha Mela’ in reference to ten aspects of ‘Mahabhakti’. Based on that phrase, Shri Gurudev Shrinivasaji has explained the ten aspects of devotion in detail and in depth through ‘Dashangmahabhaktiyoga’. The best way to attain Purna Pradnya (complete wisdom) or Shrividya is Mahabhakti. The will power within the human being is called Mahabhakti when it moves fast towards the Divine by holding unconditional love for Bhagvadtattva, complete surrender to Paramatmatattva and pure aspiration about Brahmatattva of the Divine. What exactly is the nature of that Mahabhakti? What is the exact order of it’s expression? What are the characteristics of the heart that is capable in its expression and how does the expression of such great devotion benefit the living being by gaining the benefit of Shreevidya or complete knowledge of Parmarthatattva? All of these topics are worth considering. The same subject is presented in detail in this book. At surface level it may look like that the emotion is the only one aspect significant in devotional practice. But after reading Shri Gurudev’s ‘Dashangamahabhaktiyoga’, one will realize how devotional practice has flourished in many other aspects too.
