The son fulfills his name ‘Putra’ when he gives joy and saves his parents from hell. The original Kapil Gita, is found in the Bhagavata, has many chapters and verses. The same has been abridged here, giving the essence of the teaching. Hence, it is called "Kapilopadesasarah". It is a touching story of how a young, mature son offers solace to his old, mother, Devahuti, whose soul hungered for spiritual succor. In Kapila Gita, the Lord as Kapila Muni, through self-knowledge, transports his mother turned disciple, Devahuti, beyond joy and sorrow & heaven and hell, into a state of pure Bliss. Swami Tejomayananda further clarifies and beautifies this subtle teaching with lucid commentary. This wonderful teaching can become our passport to Bliss. Show more
