The Yoga of Divine Love:
A Study of the Narada Bhakti Sutras

Jnaneshwari Chaitanya

12 WEEKLY SESSIONS, Sundays, 3:00-4:30pm ET

“Bhakti is the easiest, safest and surest path to God-realisation.”

– Swami Sivananda

Join this course for a guided journey into the path of Divine Love.

If you feel drawn to devotion, or sense that the heart has a deeper capacity for love and connection with the Divine, this study offers a way to explore and nurture that longing.

The Narada Bhakti Sutras present the teachings of Bhakti in a direct and luminous manner. This is a deeply inspiring and uplifting text, treasured in the tradition for the clarity and beauty with which it reveals the path of devotion.

Through these aphorisms, devotion is not presented as something distant or abstract, but as a living reality that can gradually unfold within one’s own life.

In this course, we will study the Narada Bhakti Sutras step by step, following the presentation of Swami Sivananda. This is a rare opportunity to enter into these teachings in a steady and supported way.

The sutras invite reflection, deepen understanding, and gently guide the mind and heart toward the Divine. Bhakti is not something to be forced or constructed. It awakens through sincerity, through remembrance, and through a quiet turning within.

As this devotion grows, the mind becomes lighter, and life begins to take on a different quality—more peaceful, more inwardly anchored, and more aligned with the Divine.

Jnaneshwari Chaitanya will guide the study, offering explanation, reflection, and space for questions.

Join this course and let the teachings unfold in your own experience, gradually deepening your understanding and connection to the path of devotion.

Among the topics we will explore:

  • The nature and definition of Bhakti
  • The characteristics of Divine Love
  • The supremacy of Bhakti among the paths of Yoga
  • The relation between Bhakti, knowledge, and renunciation
  • The role of devotion in overcoming Maya
  • The importance of holy company and right association
  • The life and example of great devotees
  • The stages and expressions of devotion
  • The fruit of Bhakti as described in the Sutras
  • The application of these teachings in daily life

Jnaneshwari Chaitanya is a compassionate teacher who can explain complex ideas clearly and at a pace that allows for a deep understanding of the concepts.
