Among the many paths of yoga, Bhakti Yoga is the most heart-centered and accessible.
Bhakti means devotion, surrender, and love. It is the art of offering your entire being
to something higher than yourself, dissolving the ego into pure divine love.
Bhakti is not limited to a temple, a mantra, or a specific deity. It can be directed towards God,
a Guru, your mother, nature, a river, a mountain—anything that awakens deep reverence within you.
Wherever your devotion flows, Bhakti Yoga transforms that love into a bridge to the Divine.
The Essence of Bhakti
———————
When devotion deepens, a powerful transformation occurs: the boundary between the devotee
and the divine dissolves. There is no longer “you” and “that”—there is only oneness.
If your devotion is for Krishna, then in the state of pure Bhakti, you do not remain separate
from him—you become Krishna. His presence vibrates in every cell of your being. Love grows
so strong that the divine flows through you, and you are no longer different from the one you worship.
Bhakti as the Fastest Path
————————–
The yogic journey is often compared to climbing a tall building:
– The paths of knowledge, meditation, or self-discipline are like taking the stairs—slow, steady,
and requiring much effort.
– Bhakti Yoga is like entering the lift (elevator): you press the button and rise quickly
to the highest floor.
Such is the power of surrender. Once you offer yourself completely, the divine carries you upward effortlessly.
Transformation Through Devotion
——————————-
Bhakti Yoga is not about ritual alone. It is about living in devotion—turning every thought,
word, and action into an offering. When practiced this way, life itself becomes sacred.
Your heart opens, your mind becomes light, and every experience feels connected to the divine.
The Ultimate Union
——————
At the ultimate stage of Bhakti Yoga, the seeker and the sought are no longer separate.
The lover becomes the beloved, the devotee becomes the deity, and the human merges with the divine.
This is the true gift of Bhakti—union with the source through love.
