"I believe the greatest enemy that keeps a seeker away from God is kusang. The effort to avoid all forms of kusang is therefore even more important than the practice of devotion ..." Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji

This astonishing statement comes from Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj’s principal work, Prem Ras Siddhant, and is central to the practical application of his philosophy. 

Kripalu Ji explains that a moment of kusang, non-godly association, has the power to bring about an aspirants spiritual downfall. Therefore, he advises that along with regular devotional practice, a spiritual aspirant must know about and avoid the impediments that block or undermine his progress on the spiritual path. What are these obstacles, why do they come, and are there any preventative measures we can adopt when they do? How can we better protect our spiritual earnings, and build on them, instead of allowing them to fritter away?  

This all-important book, packed with practical advice, comprises extracts from discourses and other literary works in which Kripalu Ji discusses this topic. A must-have for anyone wishing to accelerate their progress on the spiritual path.
