The means which bestows The Lord’s grace and the Final Liberation (Moksha) to those undertaking spiritual practice according to the Path of Devotion (Bhaktiyoga) is intense devotion unto The Lord. Sage Narad, while elucidating about devotion says in the Naradiya Bhaktisutra that devotion is deep love for The Lord. For a devotee to reach a state wherein such intense love for The Lord is generated, he should have an awareness that God exists, with intensity. Thereafter he has to develop an intense attraction towards Him. This itself is known as spiritual emotion (bhav) towards God. Without spiritual emotion it is not possible to develop devotion (bhakti).

    This holy text elucidates in a lucid manner, the theoretical aspects such as the components of spiritual emotion, what is the importance of spiritual emotion, etc., while simultaneously discussing how to awaken spiritual emotion in oneself while performing the ritual of waving lit lamps (arti), offering prayer and gratitude, repeating (chanting) The Lord’s Name and rendering service unto the Absolute Truth (satseva). How spiritual emotion can be awakened even while performing every action in day-to-day life and not only during spiritual practice is also described in this holy text.
