P. Padmanābha sought to resolve these contradictions in order to nurture and nourish his own practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Swāmī set out to thoroughly understand both sides of the argument, his exclusive reliance on and exhaustive integrated search of the traditional sacred texts established by the founders of the Gauḍīya lineage replicated the methods of epistemology used by the founders themselves. The reader, therefore, benefits not only from the conclusion of the dissertation regarding the nature of \u003ci\u003ebhakti\u003c\/i\u003e but additionally from the demonstration of Gauḍīya epistemology in motion.","brand":"MixIG","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091459629207,"sku":"9780999541999","price":1408.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780999541999.webp?v=1769204476","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/inherent-or-inherited-bhakti-in-the-j-299-va-according-to-gau-7693-299-ya-ved-257-nta-9780999541999","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
