Samvit Sankirthan Saar (Hindi)

The Samvit Sankirtan Saar (Hindi) is a collection of devotional songs, hymns, and chants (Sankirtan) published by the Samvit Sadhanayan Society (or Samvit Prakashan), which is associated with the teachings of Paramhamsa Parivrajakacharya Poojya Swami Shree Ishwarananda Giriji Maharaj.

Here is a breakdown of what the title means and its significance:

• Samvit (संवित्): In Sanskrit, this word means Consciousness, Knowledge, or Pure Awareness. It often refers to the ultimate reality or the divine, spiritual essence.
• Sankirtan (संकीर्तन): This refers to the practice of devotional chanting, singing, or recitation of names, mantras, and praises of the Divine, often done collectively.
• Saar (सार): This means the Essence, Summary, or Core.

Therefore, the Samvit Sankirtan Saar is essentially a book containing the "Essence of the Sankirtan (Devotional Chants) for Divine Consciousness" as practiced within the Samvit tradition.
