Different attitudes and modes in Bhakthi.

Hari OM!

 

Blessed Self,

 

There are different Bhavas in Bhakthi, As Swami Sivanandaji, quotes..

 

Quote>>>

There are five kinds of bhavas or attitudes. They are santa bhava

(relationship of peace), dasya bhava (relationship of servant-

master), vatsalya bhava (relationship of father-son), sakhya bhava

(relationship of friendship) and madhurya bhava (relationship of

lover and beloved). Have any kind of bhava that suits your

temperament. Develop it again and again.

 

Practise the nine modes of devotion - sravana (hearing the lilas or

stories of the Lord), kirtana (singing the Lord's name), smarana

(remembering the Lord), padasevana (service of the Lord's feet),

arcana (offering of flowers), vandana (prostration), dasyam (servant

bhava) sakhya (His friendship), and atmanivedana (self-surrender).

 

Feel that you are an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Feel that

the Lord works through your body, mind and senses. Offer all your

actions to the Lord. Offer the fruits of your actions to the Lord.

This is the way to do self-surrender.

Through the practice of Bhakthi, according to the mental temparament

of person, he gets Jnanam!

Beautiful passage. Bhakti is true Jnana. Surrendering completely to

the Lord your fate and will is the highest knowledge. The Lord is the

controller, we are just in his playground. Thank you for posting this

wonderful passage.

 

Om Shanti,

Shishya
