Bhakti yoga can involve meditation, but it is not a kind or type of meditation in itself. Bhakti yoga is a path of devotion and love, and it involves cultivating a deep and loving relationship with a personal deity or the divine. Meditation can be a part of Bhakti yoga practice, as it can help to focus the mind, quiet the thoughts, and deepen one's connection with the divine. In Bhakti yoga, meditation can take many forms, such as mantra repetition, visualization, or simply sitting in silence and focusing on the divine. However, Bhakti yoga is not limited to meditation alone. Other practices such as chanting, prayer, service, and devotional offerings can also be a part of Bhakti yoga practice. The main focus of Bhakti yoga is on cultivating a loving relationship with the divine, and the practices involved are geared towards achieving that goal. read less

If you notice the ways to practice Bhakti Yoga are chanting, prayer, or worship of any form. You somehow do the same things, also while you are meditating. These are just two separate names given for people to adapt to practice. Ultimately, it is all about being present in the moment, through whichever means you choose. These are all different paths leading to the same destination. read less
