Why do I always suggest Swami Bhakti and not any other Guru or Avatar Bhakti? |
|
I myself am a follower of Siddha Yoga, but I always recommend Bhakti Yoga for all those who ask me 'which is the best path of God?' When it comes to Bhakti Yoga, I
always suggest Swami Bhakti because Swami Bhakti saves Bhakta from
pitfalls of Samsara (worldly life) and destroys pains and sorrows permanently. Bhakti ultimately takes Bhakta to lotus feet of Swami where he becomes perfectly and fully satisfied (materially and spiritually).
There are several reasons why I always suggest Swami Bhakti:
First and foremost: Swami Samarth is one of the MOST RECENT known Avatars of Shri Datta Guru.
Swami Samarth is third Avatar of Shri Datta Guru. Read why is it extremely important to worship an Avatar?
(Dattatreya is considered to be the presiding deity (Ishta Devata) for the path of Yoga – therefore called "Lord of Yoga". Guru Dattatreya gifted Ashtanga Yoga [eight fold path of Yoga] to the world thousands of years ago. Shri Datta Guru is ideal guiding principle.)
Second, lots of his literature is available. Spiritual literature and Swami Charitra (life account of Saints) plays an extremely important role in the spiritual journey of a devotee. Spiritual books and literature help raise faith level in devotee. There are many books written about Swami Leela (miracles) that help devotee maintain and strengthen Bhakti in Swami Samarth. The more literature available the more helpful
it is for Bhakta, his Bhakti (devotion) and the spiritual progress.
Third, several of Swami’s devotional songs (Bhakti Geet) are easily accessible on Web and You-tube. We are living Kali-Yuga (Iron age or darkest age) and devotional songs are extremely important and helpful in removing the darkness in our mind. In my view, listening to devotional songs is one of the MOST powerful tools in Bhakti Yoga. Singing devotional songs is equivalent to doing Naam Japa. The more devotional songs of your Ista Devata (Swami in this case) available to you, the more it will be useful for your spiritual progress.
Read this to understand how to seek Swami Samartha's Help:
What is use of God who can't help? Swami must Help & Protect
All these important things have come together in case of Swami Samarth.
Swami Bhakti is like nectar that gives freedom to the devotee. Try to develop Dasya
Bhakti towards Swami; think yourself as his servant. Swami Bhakti is the most pleasant,
sweet and the direct road to Divinity. Wisdom will dawn by itself when you perform
Swami Bhakti with Dasya Bhava. Swami Bhakti is divine nectar that will bring "immortality" to Bhakta. Pray to Swami, sing his glory, and recite his name to receive his Krupa
or divine grace in your life.
When you perform sincere and consistent Swami Bhakti he will protect you in material
word, take care of your spiritual progress, drive your chariot and you will reach
the destination - the eternal bliss.

Following is the most important photograph for those who perform Swami Bhakti. These
is picture of his lotus feet. Entire universe has merged at the feet of Swami. Worshiping
and surrendering at the feet of Swami is the highest form of Bhakti one can attain
towards Swami. There is no other Bhakti in the world that is higher than worshiping
Swami’s Charan-Kamal.
