In his composition Srī Rāmacaritamānasa, Gosvāmi Tulasīdāsa declares that the Rāma kathā is most profound; many are the gems hidden in it. Just as a specialist is needed to discern the location of precious stones buried in the mountains, so also is it the case for the gems embedded in the Rāma kathā. Swami Tejomayananda through his discourses manifests the self-effulgent jewel of bhakti in simple words soaked in devotion. In the process he sheds light on numerous facets of spiritual life. The crux of listening to or reading this story is to awaken and steadily deepen love for Srī Rāma. This is what Swamiji emphasizes again and again. Devotion for Sri Rama enhances and embellishes knowledge. We believe that the prayer of all seekers will be for such love to take root in their heart: priya lāgahu mohi rāma.

Shrimad Bhagavat is renowned as one of the greatest compositions in Sanskrit Literature. The 18th Purana composed by Maharishi Veda-Vyasa, it stands unparalleled in its distinct and resplendent exaltation of devotion to God, revealing throughout the quintessence of Vedantic teachings. Masterfully profound and delightfully enchanting, Shrimad Bhagavat abounds in work-paintings of the supreme Lord's wondrous and endearing avatars, divine sports and devotees - paintings that kindle, intensity and establish devotion in one's heart. This spring of devotion leads one to satsang, to the Guru and to teachings that unveil one's essential nature of Brahman.

"What is the 'Ramcharitmanas'? It is Rama's story, or Rama's conduct, as narrated by Goswami Tulsidas. However, this doesn't quite explain what the word 'manasa' (mind) is doing in the title. The explanation given, in the 'Ramcharitmanas', is that this story was in Shiva's mind and came to Tulsidas via Parvati and Narharidas, Tulsidas's guru. It is no different with this volume by Professor Arun Tiwari. As a text, the 'Ramcharitmanas' is suffused with bhakti, and Rama's story and 'Ramcharitmanas' become what the reader, as a bhakta, take them to be, much more than with any other text. In this case, the bhakta is also a re-teller and re-interpreter, and bhakti is blended with Advaita Vedanta, although labels are best avoided. Goswami Tulsidas composed the 'Ramcharitmanas' rather late in life. Age brings wisdom. Through this book, Arun Tiwari too brings forth the wisdom that he now passes on, especially to the younger generation, in a novel and engaging way. - Bibek Debroy, Eminent author who translated Valmiki Ramayana into English and currently Chairman, Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, and Member, NITI-Aayog, Government of India."Profusely blessed, Prof. Arun Tiwari, the celebrated co-author of 'Transcendence: My Spiritual Experiences with Pramukh Swamiji' with Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, has written a modern narrative of the timeless 'Ramcharitmanas' in the language and flair of the youth. God can be seen through the loving eyes of a devotee in the Murti and felt in the service of a Gunantit Guru. A must-read for people in a world overwhelmed by and overloaded with material pleasures and desires. The book provides a guiding path for the devout to connect with the Supreme. Jai Swaminarayan with deepest prayers! - Sadhu Swayamprakashdas (Pujya Dr. Swami), BAPS SWAMINARAYAN SANSTHA.

Vallabhacharya, the founder of the Pushti Maarg was a poet, scholar and passionate lover of Lord Krishna. Madhurashtakam is one of the immemorial compositions of Vallabhacharya, the founder of Pusti marg. These set of eight verses talk of Shri Krishna's bewitching personality. His pastimes, and His pranks all of which make Him loving and lovable. The composition has become more popular because of its simplicity. Pujya Guruji's commentary on it gives us a sense of immediacy with highlights of episodes from the lives of recent saints. It also makes us introspect on our hypocrisies which prevent us from flowing with sweetness. It opens our eyes to the healing energies of the Divine, clothed in a name and form.

Sitting on a hillside, Shri Rama and Lakshmana soak in the beauty of the rainy season. Rama draws many parallels between nature and human nature. For instance, the clear sky reminds Him of a pure soul, devoid of worldly desires. The imagery of nature helps Him unravel His thoughts on dharma, jnana, bhakti and niti. Swami Tejomayananda clubs his commentary on Kishkindha-kanda with Purajana-gita from Uttara-kanda, which is Shri Rama’s address after His coronation, very much like the Presidential address on the eve of the Republic Day. Swami Tejomayanandaji’s commentary is lucid and lively.
