Inspiring Spiritual Growth Through Vedic Wisdom
The sastric foundation is essential for sustaining and making further advancement in our bhakti, or devotional service to the Supreme Lord. It is equally vital for cultivating Vaishnava qualities and fostering a mood of selfless service. The scriptures affirm this in the phrase, “sad-bhāve sādhu-bhāve ca,” meaning, “the nature of the devotee reflects the nature of the Supreme.” Therefore, we should strive to act in divine consciousness, which becomes possible through studying scriptures, rendering service, and associating with those who live such lives.
