Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA my mistake, from your subject, Types of Bhakti and how they affect the interpretation of scriptures, i thought your point was about Devotion. and you seemed to apply the word purity in an external connotation, which as i said has some truth, but seemed a little judgmental, dogmatic, and is also incomplete. thanks for clarifying.
