Human love for God has taken myriad expression in different religious traditions. Millions of Hindus are, and have been, passionately devoted to Visnu whom they love with whole heart, whole soul, and whole strength. The Narada Sutras on Loving God is a tenth-century Hindu manual on how to love God. Its teachings on the importance of loving God and on the many ways of loving God have resonated eloquently down the centuries in the songs of Hindu lovers and poets. In this Christian commentary on the Narada Sutras, Daniel Sheridan approaches the text as a catalyst for Christian readers to renew their own Christian love for God. Each Sutra, discussed first within its original Hindu context, is brought to resonate with expressions of love of God within the Christian tradition, thus creating new harmonies and reawakening attention to layers of meaning and levels of passion contained within traditional devotional texts.
