Bhakti Ratnavali - or A Necklace of Devotional Gems
Compiled by Vishnu Puri
An anthology of about four hundred verses selected by a medieval ascetic named Vishnu Puri, from the Srimad Bhagavata. In these verses we get a clear outline of the doctrine of Bhakti, both in its theory and practice, as conceived by the great devotional text, the Bhagavata.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
