Briefly about bhakti yoga

Bhakti Yoga – The Mystical Path of Devotion and Love

Bhakti Yoga is an ancient, timeless spiritual path that means the yoga of devotion and love for God. This tradition flourished in ancient India and its most important principles are set forth in one of the world's most important scriptures, the Bhagavad-gita . Bhakti is not just an Indian philosophical school, but a universal worldview that can be valid in all cultures and eras.

The essence of bhakti is that one lives and acts with love and devotion, seeking the pleasure of God . It is not dependent on historical, political or cultural circumstances, but seeks to restore the original state of the soul: a state of loving harmony with God .

Principles of Bhakti Yoga

Life is sacred and eternal – The Vedas, the sacred books of India, teach the eternity and immortality of the soul. The body is impermanent, but the soul does not cease at death, but continues its journey.

Transmigration of the Soul and the Law of Karma – After death, the soul is reborn. All our actions have consequences, and our current life is the result of our past actions.

Ahimsa – The principle of non-violence – The Bhakti tradition supports the protection of other living beings, so vegetarian and vegan lifestyles are a natural part of this worldview.

God is one person – The ideal of one God is the central teaching of bhakti: God is eternal, has all knowledge, and is the source of all joy and happiness.

The Power of Mantra – Chanting and meditating on mantras plays a prominent role in bhakti practices. The power of sound and sacred syllables can elevate consciousness and deepen spiritual connection.

Living in everyday life – Bhakti is not just a philosophical idea, but a practical way of life. Devotion is manifested not only in religious rituals, but also in our work, our human relationships, and our community life.
