After reading
the biography of any saint one is curious to know what He
looked like, about His Guru and gurubrethren and would like
to see His ashram, etc. No photographs of the sages
of the bygone eras like Saint Dnyaneshvar, Tukaram,
etc., are available. We by our good fortune are able to see
Saint Bhaktaraj through photographs. This holy book
displays the various spiritual emotions (bhav) and moods
of Saint Bhaktaraj. Based on the principle that sound,
touch, form, taste, odour and energy or divine consciousness
(chaitanya) coexist, just as energy or divine consciousness
(chaitanya) accompanies The Lords Name so also it is
manifested through the form. Seekers will experience this
when paying obeisance (darshan) to Maharaj.
