People run to the conclusion that Jnanadeva wants us to believe in the Astanga yoga and in the raising of the Kundalini Shakti. On reading this book, the reader will come to agree that the God-realization, the necessity of a spiritual teacher and service to him, meditation and contemplation on the Name and forms of God, and above all the grace of God and Guru the indispensable instrument of being one with God, is the real message of Jnanadeva. The author asserts that a mere yoga without God or the raising of the kundalini on the basis of human efforts devoid of the grace of God and the Guru is not at all what the great saint wants to teach us. Study-notes of about sixty pages given at the close of the book will help a careful reader to appreciate our assertion. What Jnanadeva wishes us to remember is that the Lord Krishna is the subject-matter, and that the meditation on the name of the Lord, namely Krishna, is the way to realize him.
