To abdicate the allurement of worldly things and proceed on the path to God are both outcomes of God's grace. You already have them and have come here. Some of you have come from different states and others from abroad. This is praiseworthy.

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj personally conducted month-long devotional programmes in Bhakti Dham Mangarh from 1966 to 2013. Prior to the commencement of each programme, Kripaluji spoke very directly about the rules he expected all participants to follow so that they gain the most from their attendance. He often said that just as there are laws governing everything in the universe, there are laws governing devotional practice.

This excellent pocket-sized publication contains transcripts of the discourses Kripalu Ji delivered at the outset of the 1987, 2005, 2007 and 2010 sadhana programmes, concluding with some of his special instructions. This publication serves as a critical reminder to all aspiring devotees of how they should conduct themselves in Bhakti Dham (and any other JKP ashram) and what they should remember while living in the world too.
