Every practicing vaisnava would be a bhakti-yogi. One who believes in vaisnavism, but doesn't practice wouldn't be considered a yogi. Yoga is active and a yogi is practicing yoga. Every bhakti-yogi is a vaisnava. > Your humble servant > bh Boguslaw I hope this helped to clear things up. I hope that this finds you in good health.
