Shri Bhaktamal — Nabhadas's 1585 garland of 200+ great Vaishnava devotees, with Priyadasdas's comprehensive Bhakti Ras Bodhini commentary: the most complete single-volume account of the Hindu bhakti tradition's living history, containing saints whose lives demonstrate what genuine devotion actually looks like. Nabhadas composed the Bhaktamal in 1585 CE in Sanskrit and Braj Bhasha — a "garland" (mala) of the great Vaishnava saints, from the Alvars of south India through the northern bhakti saints of the 15th and 16th centuries. His brief kavya characterizations of each saint were expanded by Priyadasdas in 1712 CE through the Bhakti Ras Bodhini — detailed commentary that turns each brief characterization into a complete devotional biography. The result covers Meera's love-madness for Krishna, Kabir's fierce non-dualism, Tulsidas's composition of the Ramcharitmanas, Surdas's blindness that saw Krishna so clearly, Raidas's transcendence of caste through devotion, Chaitanya's ecstatic sankirtana, and over 200 more — all with Priyadasdas's warm, detailed devotional commentary. {copies_once(0,0)} 200+ saintly biographies — the most comprehensive single-volume survey of Indian bhakti Priyadasdas's Bhakti Ras Bodhini — detailed commentary on each saint's life and teaching Saints covered: Meera, Kabir, Tulsidas, Surdas, Raidas, Chaitanya, Namdev, Eknath, Tukaram Both traditions: Saguna and Nirguna bhakti saints from all regions and traditions For: serious bhakti students, pravachan preparation, festivals, the permanent household library ?? ??????? ?? ???? ??? ???? ?????, ??????? ???????? ?? ?????? ??????? ???? ?? ???????? ??????-???? ?????? ?? ???? ?????? ??? ??? ??????? ??? ??? ??? ?????? ?????? — ????? ???, ?????? ?? ?????? ?? ????? ?? ???? ??????
