The energy of divine love is the most powerful way the primordial Goddess awakens in our lives. Written simply and beautifully, Bhakti Shakti offers a philosophical foundation for our heart’s devotion to the divine feminine.

All the wondrous forms of the Goddess in the Hindu traditions exhibit different expressions and flavors of feminine power, but it is Radha who is the ultimate personification of the most powerful force of all – love. It is with sweetness and love alone that Radha captures and controls Krishna, Lord of the Universe, as well as the hearts of the devotees.

Pranada combines her personal life-long insights into the nature of devotion with her natural gifts at writing to offer us a wonderful window into the highest possible expression of love of God attainable by the human soul.

Radha’s pure loving sweetness offers an opportunity to revision social paradigms and behaviors away from aggression-projecting models of patriarchal thinking, which deaden the spirit and disrupt our social consciousness, and reveal a vision of transcendent love that lies at the very heart of what all embodied beings seek.

A pure quality of love pours from the heart of the author in this remarkable book. Pure love is an intoxicant and can’t fail to inebriate the minds and hearts of all those who read Bhakti Shakti. Radha as the embodiment of the bhakti-shakti (ahladini-shakti) is brought out beautifully in this book. All bhaktas will benefit deeply from this.

Sri Radha is the pinnacle of spirituality, the feminine moiety of the Absolute Godhead, worshiped only by those who have climbed to the very top of the yoga ladder. Pranada Comtois allows her readers entrance into an otherwise esoteric realm of their everyday journey. “Worshiping Radha and what she represents,” writes Pranada, “is the antidote to chauvinism, misogyny, sexism, racism, and the equally discriminatory reactions to those attitudes by the disadvantaged and disenfranchised, which only serve to feed the problem.” Thus, in Bhakti Shakti we become privy to Radha in all her completeness, leading to our betterment both materially and spiritually. This is not a book to be missed.

The future of humanity, if it is to be one of hope rather than horror, depends on the realization of the Divine Mother in, with, and as all life. Pranada Comtois’ Bhakti Shakti: Goddess of Divine Love is an essential ingredient in this realization. What we need now – perhaps more than ever before – is the searing love of the Goddess burning away the madness and delusion that defines our current state. Pranada Comtois helps ignite that love. Read this book and let it burn within you.
