The unifying practice of devotional service has the power to directly alleviate the superfluous material suffering of an individual being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #0000ff;\">This is a section of the book \u201cBhajana-Rahasya\u201d.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To buy the complete book, <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kadachaeditions.com\/art\/bhajana-rahasya-english\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click here<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br \/>\n<br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srimad-Bhagavatam (1.7.4-6) adds: bhakti-yogena manasi samyak pranihite &#8216;male apasyat purusam purnam mayam ca tad-apasrayam &nbsp; yaya sammohito jiva atmanam tri-gunatmakam paro &#8216;pi manute&#8217; nartham tat-krtam cabhipadyate \u00a0 anarthopasamam saksad bhakti-yogam adhoksaje With his mind perfectly fixed &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/the-unifying-practice-of-devotional-service\/\" aria-label=\"The Unifying Practice of Devotional Service\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":195,"featured_media":73446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,189],"tags":[201],"class_list":["post-73445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","category-kadacha-eng","tag-bhajana-rahasya-eng"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-28 13:19:56","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/195"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isvara.org\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
