Yamuna Devi: A Life of Unalloyed Devotion - Part 1, Preparing an Offering of Love

De: Dinatarini Devi

Narrado por: Dinatarini Devi

This memoir and biography unfolds the inspiring internal and external spiritual odyssey of Yamuna Devi's devotional life recalled in her memories, talks, journals, and writings, as well as the remembrances of the author and other associates and friends.

It is supplemented with relevant music and live recordings of Yamuna Devi, some of which have never been heard before, which complements the text of the book.

In Part One, Yamuna Devi meets her spiritual preceptor, Srila Prabhupada, at her sister's wedding in 1966 and begins her first tentative steps in Bhakti. In San Francisco she and a group of friends establish a vibrant temple and celebrate Rathayatra. Yamuna is initiated, married, and begins cooking for Srila Prabhupada. She, her husband, and two other couples then travel to London and ignite the fire of Sankirtan in England. She records with George Harrison at Apple Studios and helps establish a temple in London. Her Guru's promise to take her to India is fulfilled in 1970, when she travels with the World Sankirtan Party throughout India.

Despite hardships and obstacles along the path, the seed of Yamuna Devi's Bhakti grows and matures into a life of unalloyed devotion.

Testimony of Pue Devotion

This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. It’s a plus to have the author as the speaker. This book provides possibly the most comprehensive account of the history of ISKCON, with a special emphasis on the female point of view. I also appreciate the extensive utilization of the memoirs of other devotees, as well as the Lilamrta.

Yamuna devi was great devotee. (One day she should get a Wikipedia page.)
