7 - Bhakti Martanda by Sri Gopeshvarji

Описание: A common misconception prevalent for the Bhakti as not being mentioned in the Vedic scriptures and being only mentioned in Puranic scriptures is merely due to the lack of insight into the Vedic Sanatan Scriptures. Although there are several references available in Vedas, Smruti, Puranas, Agamas - a specific reference in Chhandogya Upanishad (7-23-1 – 7.25.2) is very intriguing and mind-boggling.

Bhaktimartanda of Sri Gopeshvarji

The discussion in this series is based on the excellent comprehensive treatise on Bhakti named “Bhakti Martanda” by Goswami Sri Gopeshvarji (one of the direct descendants of Sri Vallabhacharya). Sri Gopeshvarji has elucidated on this particular subject by structuring the treatise into 4 major sections for Bhakti. The author deals with these subjects by providing a consistent, coherent and coordinated meaning of scriptural passages proving the end goal of entire scripture to be as Bhakti in a mode of debate by refuting various prior-views and presenting with the final concluding views of all the scriptural passages. In a way, Author seems to be following a Vedic, Ancient, splendid and hermeneutical methodology called as Adhikarana.
