Bhakti Tattva Viveka - English

Composed originally in Bengali by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, Bhakti-tattva-viveka is a collection of four essays. By understanding the true nature of suddha-bhakti (pure bhakti), one can relish the ultimate goal of all scriptures, the pure nectar of krsna-prema as exhibited and preached by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

In Bhakti-tattva-viveka, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has extracted the essence of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu and presented it in simple language that is easy for all to understand. This small book's four chapters respectively describe bhakti's intrinsic nature, an analysis of the semblance of bhakti, bhakti's natural attributes and the qualification for bhakti. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura's grave and loving concern that we truly understand this message permeates each and every page of this wonderful book.

The first Hindi edition of this material was serialized in issues from the fourth and fifth years (1958–9) of Sri Bhagavata Patrika, a spiritual magazine in Hindi published monthly from Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha in Mathura. On the request of our faithful readers and by the inspiration of the present-day acarya of the Sri Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Vamana Maharaja, it is now being presented in book form.
