Pearls of Wisdom is a thorough and systematic collection of questions and answers with Śrī Satyanarayana Dasa Babaji on a variety of topics related to bhakti, be it philosophical, social, or practical aspects. Some of these questions were emailed directly to Babaji, others were presented through jiva.org website, or asked in person.
Questions that are related to specific topics have been grouped together and ordered alphabetically from A-Z, although they have been asked by different people at different times. They range from topics such as Ātmā, Astrology, Bhagavad Gītā, Chanting, Dīkṣā, Guru-Disciple, Karma, and Kṛṣṇa to Prasāda, Sādhana, Śāstra, Vedic Psychology, West, and Yoga.
The replies have been given according to the School of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism, whose theology is the acintya-bhedābheda-vāda of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. For the purpose of maintaining privacy, the identities of the questioners have not been revealed.
The book is hardbound and has been printed in Europe on a high quality paper, and includes pantone-colored markings as well as alphabetical labels to facilitate reader’s experience.
What is happiness? Although we are all looking for it, we may not know the definition of it. Happiness is an outcome of an action that is pleasing to our senses. This is material happiness. Sri Rupa Gosvami lists two more type of happiness, the one that comes from Brahman realization, and the other that comes by engaging in loving service to Bhagavan.
