PUBLISHERS' NOTE
A "clairvoyant" claimed to have seen that Sri
Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj is a re-incarnation of Sri
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, that supreme Bhakta who
lived recently in Bengal. However that might be, it
is undoubtedly true that after Mahaprabhu, it is Sri
Swamiji Maharaj who has given the greatest impetus
to Sankirtan Bhakti Yoga, who has revived mass
singing of the Maha Mantra and who has exalted
Bhakti as Sadhana equal to, if not better than, Vedan-
tic Nidhidhyasan or Raja Yogic meditation.
Sri Swamiji's commentary on the Narada Bhakti
Sutras, therefore, has in it the soul-force of a Para-
Bhakta who echoes the Word of God.
It is, therefore, hoped that this commentary on
the Bhakti Sutras will inspire aspirants to practise
Bhakti Yoga and reach the lotus-feet of the Lord.
We are highly indebted to Sri P. M. N. Swamy of
Bombay for his great help which alone has enabled
this book to be published so early.
