Bhagavān aur Unkī Bhakti
God and Devotion to Him
Swami Ramsukhdas · Complete English reading edition
Nine satsang discourses on God, devotion, divine love, the saguṇa form, grace, true attainment, prayer, and surrender.
About this edition
Bhagavān, bhakti, and the fullness of refuge
This edition follows the printed book paragraph by paragraph, preserving its nine authored discourses, questions and answers, scriptural verses and glosses, notes, analogies, concrete examples, and the deliberate repetitions of Swami Ramsukhdas’s satsang voice.
The official wrapper PDF contains two unrelated pages where printed pages 12-13 should be. They are excluded. Page 12 is restored from a dated Santvani transcription of this exact book, and page 13 from a photographed Gita Press copy whose next image matches official page 14. The sentence joins on both sides are exact. Modern wrapper navigation and the cover-only leaf are also excluded from the translated text.
