Experiences in Bhakti

In this book from OBL Kapoor (Adikesava Dasa) seeks to illuminate bhakti in light of scientific principles. After describing what bhakti is, he goes on the question how it can be viewed as a science and then proposes severals "laws":

• The law of gravitation
• The law of reciprocation
• The law of subjugation
• The law of unification

Regardless of whether a reader will be satisfied by this manner of delineation, the actual content of this book is sure to please as it describes numerous encounters between bhaktas and their worshipable deities. For example, in the chapter on "Verification of the Law of Reciprocation," he offers the following stories:

• Thakura Dhanna Jata
• Deity Gopala and Krsnaprema (Ronald Nixon)
• Thakura Gopinatha and Govinda Ghosa
• Deity Gopala and Durgi Ma
• Bhagavan Ranganatha and Andala
• Giridhara Gopala and Mira
• Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti and Manjari
• Bhava Sri Murti and the
• Bhava of the Devotee

Srila Prabhupada speaks about Dr. O.B.L. Kapoor in his conversation in Vrindavan on Octover 15, 1972: "He is a Vaisnava. Although by age he is my younger brother, we are Godbrothers, and for the last forty years perhaps, since he was a student at Allahabad and I was doing some business there, we are known to each other. So his association is a great blessing for us."
