About Bhajane Utsāha Bhaktite Viśvāsa

Takes as its subject the enthusiasm for devotional practice and the faith that sustains it once surrender has already been made. It sits among the middle songs of Bhajana Lālasā, following the ones on worldly distraction and preceding those turning to guru, Rūpa Gosvāmī, and Kṛṣṇa's own mercy.
