BHAKTI YOGA
Bhakti ~ Devotion
It is the devotional approach of yoga, the one of pure love.
This path involves surrendering oneself to God in order to realise the highest Truth. Aspirants channel their emotions into devotion, developing humility, self-surrender and the feeling of being an instrument in the hands of the Divine.
Bhakti Yoga can be practiced in many ways - praying, chanting, japa (repeating a mantra or name of the Divine), and by participating in ceremonies and rituals.
Aspirants choose a medium to express their devotion to develop a relationship with the Divine.
In the tradition of our Gurus, based on Hindu culture, Bhakti Yoga is practiced at our centres by way of kirtan (chanting the names of the Divine), ceremonies, prayers, rituals, celebrating festivals and service to the Gurus.
At our centres and ashrams, we follow the principle of “Names are many but God is one. Religions are many but the Truth is one”, honouring all religions and all forms of the Divine.
