सचित्र
भक्तामर स्तोत्र BHAKTADAR STOTRA
ILLUSTRATED
"Bhaktamar Sutra is a matchless gem of devotional literature. It is in the form of couplets which are no less than uncanny mantras. Acharya Shri Mantunga, the author of this literary and devotional work was a talented Scholar, eminent missionary and prodigious monk. The work reveals the strength of devotion. It is interspersed with varied illustrations, showing the Lord in various forms.
The visual depiction of the meaning of the word we recite makes us understand the essence of the thoughts of the Lord while looking deeply at the illustrations helps us achieve concentration, and one starts feeling in touch with the Lord."
