What is Bhakti Yoga?
Bhakti Yoga is the Yoga of love and devotion — the science of connecting the heart to the Divine. It teaches us how to transform emotions into pure love, and how to live every moment as an offering.

According to the ancient scriptures, there are nine forms of Bhakti practice (Navavidha Bhakti):
Śravaṇam – listening to stories and teachings of the Divine
Kīrtanam – chanting and singing the Divine name
Smaraṇam – remembering with love
Pāda-sevanam – serving the Divine’s feet (humble service)
Arcanam – worship or offering
Vandanam – prayer and reverence
Dāsyam – serving as a devoted servant
Sākhyam – friendship with the Divine
Ātma-nivedanam – complete self-surrender

Through listening, the heart becomes still.
These practices awaken the sweetness of Bhakti — the pure joy of union with the Divine through love.
