Vaisnava Compassion

Vaisnava Compassion navigates the intricate and, at times, complicated process of expressing true acts of compassion, teaching how emotive prayer as the core attitude residing in the chanting of the holy names of God empowers compassion. “Feeling helpless in the face of others’ suffereing helps us feel human.” (p. 141) “Although active [helping] is important, it is in prayer where we can recollect ourselves and touch the nature of universal suffering.”
