Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Dear Satyanarayana ji, ahamkara and mamakara - I-ness and my-ness, are very powerful feelings in a human being. This is my body, my intellect, my memory, my experience, my knowledge, my house, my bank balance, my understanding of Vedic mantras, my house, my car and the list goes on. In this long list, the most dangerous is spiritual ahamkara - that I have this knowledge or I do this worship or I have spiritual attainments etc. However, this ahamkara and mamakara is prakritic - natural - only the degree varies from person to person. I think bhakti is another name for amanitvam - absence of ownership and pride. The bhakt considers everything to be the Lord's and tries to go beyond this ego which has ownership/doership etc. That which enlivens the body, senses and mind is the real owner of everything which we call " I " and " mine " . yad yat karma karomi tattakhilam shambo tavaradhanam regards, Shailendra , N satyanarayana <madunili wrote: > > > namaskaram to all group members. i recently joined in this group and enjoying the messages since then. i would like to know the exact meaning of the word BHAKTI and what are the ways to express bhakti to God. please enlighten me in this regard > > with warm regards > > satyanarayana > madunili > > > Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
