Living the Wisdom of Bhakti: Life as a Spiritual Practice
We see others doing something we consider wrong, and we want them to change. Yet when we recognize our own shortcomings, we’re often reluctant to make improvements in ourselves. Living the Wisdom of Bhakti addresses this problem by facilitating honest and insightful introspection. Mahatma Prabhu gently pushes us to take a closer look at where we are and were we are going by asking questions that are sometimes difficult to face but profoundly rewarding to answer.
“This is a real Bhakti spiritual self-help book, something that is greatly needed in the devotee community. I also find it valuable as a practical reference for my own teaching and counselling.” Guru Prasada Swami
“In Living the Wisdom of Bhakti, Mahatma Prabhu reveals his expertise by addressing our daily challenges through insighful analysis and problem solving strategies that address the core of our problems.” Gunagrahi Dasa Goswami
“Mahatma Prabhu shows us how to align our lives with what we believe. You’ll find this book a unique adventure into the core of your heart. Be ready to be changed in a profound and powerful way.” Mahadevi Dasi
Living the Wisdom of Bhakti: Life as a Spiritual Practice
Living the Wisdom of Bhakti addresses the challenge of aligning the head and the heart by facilitating honest and insightful introspection. Mahatma Prabhu gently pushes us to take a closer look at where we are and where we are going by asking questions that are sometimes difficult to face but profoundly rewarding to answer.
Volume Two continues the self-exploration done in Volume One with an additional 38 chapters divided into six sections. Each chapter encourages you to look deeper into your mind and heart to find your inspiration as well as to identify the obstacles on your path. And many chapters contain exercises that will help you put the knowledge you are gaining into practice. This book is not passive. It’s not meant to just be interesting or informative. Living the Wisdom of Bhakti is meant to change the way you look at yourself and your bhakti on a fundamental level.

Japa Affirmations: 20 Meditations to Deepen Your Chanting
Japa Affirmations is the result my facilitating japa workshops and retreats worldwide for the past 15 years. I found that by taking the most important principles of the japa workshop and turning them into affirmations, devotees were immediately able to connect with the holy names on a deeper level of prayer, a deeper level of meaning, and on a level in which japa becomes more of a relationship than a process.
The 20 affirmations in this book will put you in the optimal state of consciousness for good japa. By first entering the “chanter’s mood” before you begin your japa, the quality of your chanting automatically improves. Because chanting is not factually done by the lips, but by the heart, Japa Affirmations aims to connect you with the “heart” of japa.
These affirmations are helping devotees overcome the wandering mind, distractions while chanting, boredom, lack of taste and other problems typically associated with bad japa. Devotees using this book are telling me that the affirmations are really helping them improve their japa.
When you enter more deeply into your daily chanting you start to look forward to your morning japa, give it the priority it deserves, and reap the unique and amazing benefits that only good chanting can offer.
Chanting is the essence of bhakti. We owe it to Krsna to improve our connection with him
