Sacred Texts
The scriptures the channel reads, slowly, over many years
These are the books that have walked with the channel. Some came in childhood, some arrived later. They live on different shelves: the Mānasa beside the bed, the Bhāgavata for the slow afternoons, the Tukārām Gāthā for the morning, the Bhaktamāl for the lives of those who went before. The Interior Castle of Teresa, in a different language and the same heart.
No book here asks for mastery. They ask to be picked up, read for a few minutes, set down. The work is in the picking up again, season after season, year after year. The Lord, who is patient, will be there.
Ram Bhakti
The home tradition of the channel. The Lord of Ayodhya in song and story.
The Vraja Library
The texts of Krishna-bhakti, from the Bhāgavata's tenth canto to the Brajbhāṣā saints to Bhaiji. The forest in many forms.
The Varkari Library
The Marathi saints of Pandharpur. Vitthala on the brick. Five centuries of abhangas walking with their lord.
The Bhakti Mālā
The lives of the bhaktas, gathered. Stories of those who gave themselves to God, told by other bhaktas.
The Cross-Tradition Mystics
Saints from outside the Hindu canon whom the channel reads as kin. The same heart in different languages.
The Advaita Library
The non-dual texts. Where bhakti and jñāna are the same recognition seen from two sides.
More books are coming, slowly. The Aṣṭāvakra Gītā, the Gīta Govinda, the Brahma Saṃhitā, others. The library is built one volume at a time, the way it was always built.
