Bhakti Yog

What is Bhakti Yog ?

‘Bhakti’ means ‘devotion to Supreme Power’, ‘Yoga’ pronounced as ‘Yog’ and it’s Sanskrit word that means to add or join. So, Bhakti Yog (Bhakti Yoga) is a practice of devotion to attain oneness with Supreme Lord.

It is the path of purest spiritual devotion, love and surrender to Universal Lord. The ‘Deity’ is the beloved and the ‘devotee’ is the lover. In Bhakti yog, everything is the manifestation of the divine lord and everything else is meaningless. Yes, even the Ego is meaningless. When the Bhakt (devotee) is blessed by divine grace, he/she feels an undivided union with the beloved deity. It is regarded as the most direct method to merge in cosmic consciousness.

Foundation of Bhakti Yog

Bhakti Yoga is based on the doctrine – Love is God and God is Love. The bhakti (devotion) experiences separation and longs to meet or even just glimpse of beloved. Nothing else attracts him, nothing else holds him or his attention, everything else is meaningless. When you will be immersed in Bhakti, even food, sexual desire, sleep, attachments, and responsibilities are all no longer important.

Importance of Bhakti Yoga

It is the most direct method & shortest way to experience the divine. All yoga and knowledge, Jnana (Gyana yoga) survive on foundation of true faith, true devotion, true Bhakti Yoga. There is nothing higher than love. It is the religion of love. To kindle the candle of love with the spark of spiritual knowledge, it is also called Yoga of Love (Yog of Love).

Knower and known, subject and object, deity and devotee all becomes One. This is the pure essence of Bhakti Yoga.
