Dasbodh is a religious book written by Samarth Ramdas Swami, a Hindu saint during 17th century AD.

As per Hindu spirituality, one gets a human life after going through many incarnations of various other creatures, and possibly after hundreds of years. Dasbodh guides one to utilise the rare opportunity of the human life to live life meaningfully and pursue the purpose of human life. It explains multiple facets of this world and the variety of life in it. The scripture guides man to follow the path of devotion to God. The path prescribed by the author is called bhakti marg, meaning devotional way to reach God. It is claimed that, this path is the sure method to achieve true self-realisation.

[edit] Composition

Dasbodh consists of 20 chapters, each known as a dashak. Dashak is a group of ten. Each chapter consists of ten sub-chapters, called Samas.
