[26] One who practices bhakti is called a bhakta.

[103], In early Buddhism, states Sanath Nanayakkara, the concept of taking refuge to the Buddha had the meaning of taking the Buddha as an ideal to live by, rather than the later sense of self-surrender. [71] Bhakti Yoga is described by Swami Vivekananda as "the path of systematized devotion for the attainment of union with the Absolute". [77], According to Ramana Maharishi, states David Frawley, bhakti is a "surrender to the divine with one's heart". To him who is high-minded, [38][47] Scholars[48][49] have debated whether this phrase is authentic or later insertion into the Upanishad, and whether the terms "Bhakti" and "Deva" meant the same in this ancient text as they do in the modern era. Loving God with purity of mind and heart can bestow one with limitless joy and bliss which cannot be attained by worldly love. [85] The attitude of Hanuman towards lord Rama is considered to be of dasya bhava. [88] Caitanya-caritamrta mentions that Mahaprabhu came to distribute the four spiritual sentiments of Vraja loka: dasya, sakhya, vatsalya, and sringara. [100][102] This changed the meaning of Buddhist devotion to a more person-centered sense, similar to a theist sense used in Hindu scriptures. Kama connotes emotional connection, sometimes with sensual devotion and erotic love. So, devotion will not only help one spiritually it will also help one to be successful in this material world. Sri Sukadeva Gosvami attained the same simply by recitation, verbatim, of the transcendental message. We can do that by offering our work, whatever we are engaged in as an offering to the Lord. The Jain community built ornate temples and prided in public devotion for its fordmakers, saints and teachers. [89], Devotionalism, similar to Bhakti, states Michael Pasquier, has been a common form of religious activity in world religions throughout human history. [90] It is found in Christianity,[90][91] Islam,[92][93] Buddhism[94][95][96] and Judaism. [62] Bhakti poetry and ideas influenced many aspects of Hindu culture, religious and secular, and became an integral part of Indian society. So, if we need the everlasting joy and bliss and live in a beautiful world, we need to be devoted to something higher. Karen Pechilis Prentiss (2014), The Embodiment of Bhakti, Oxford University Press, Note: The earliest arrival dates are contested by scholars. There is nothing wrong with possessing worldly objects, but we need to understand whether that has brought genuine and permanent happiness to us. Devotion means to fix our mind on something, to focus one’s efforts on something specific and pursue this course with great intensity. [5][6] Thus, bhakti requires a relationship between the devotee and the deity. Most people believe that success is acquisition of wealth, fame, relations and other worldly desires. Let us see the Lord in one who needs this kind of friendship. Ellen Koskoff (2013), The Concise Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Routledge. Though bhakti is endowed as a result of God’s grace, yet it can be cultivated by us through constant practice of engaging ourselves in meaningful devotional activities that can bring us closer to the lord for His grace to flow through us. In whatever way he otherwise acts, Dwells in Me. [27], The term bhakti, in Vedic Sanskrit literature, has a general meaning of "mutual attachment, devotion, fondness for, devotion to" such as in human relationships, most often between beloved-lover, friend-friend, king-subject, parent-child. Navavidha bhakti comprises the nine ways to express devotion or develop devotion for God or the higher Self.
