The Secret of Karmayoga

It is a compilation of 28 discourses of Shri Goyandka ji delivered from time to time in the course of his Satsanga meetings. In these discourses the main theme is that of Karmayoga  even though some of them discuss social aspects also. It was his firm belief that the Indian culture and the way of living was for the best interests of our social life through which even God-realization could be made easier. We are sure that the book will be equally useful for both aspirants and house-holders. It teaches how to  perform one’s duty without being entangled. We hope that our readers will receive this book with an affection and enthusiasm.
