Author: Swami Hariharananda Aranya

The author elucidates how the Sankhya philosophy embraces devotion and bhakti-yoga by composing simple Sanskrit verses in short and easy to memorize hymns, cogent aphorisms with explanatory notes, and brief essays. A representative sample of these, plus quintessence of Upanisadic Teachings of Vedanta, are carefully prepared and interpreted to help sincere readers and spiritual aspirants. The book is an excellent supplement to the extraordinary discourse by rishi sage Kapila to his mother, Devahuti, as summarized in the Srimad Bhagavatam third Canto. In this lofty discourse, sage Kapila outlines the role of devotional understanding in properly supporting the correct knowledge and dispassion toward worldliness. The progenitor of Sankhya philosophy, Sage Kapila’s focus on the role of devotion has been duly restored by Swami Hariharananda Aranya in this beautiful book.
