Bhakti Yoga is misunderstood as mechanical worshiping of an idol. Likes - Mother forgets this entire world looking at the mischief of her little baby. You call it LOVE. This entire world whether it is money, jewelry, health, wealth etc - everything is a useless for the mother. Her little child only is her world. What does she get from such love? Great relief, joy, satisfaction, relaxation, bliss and so on. Bhakti is no different from such love. Your love can be to your child or your lover or to the God. When you forget the entire world, when you feel this world as just nothing before your loving entity, and enjoy the bliss, relief, joy etc, that is what is BHAKTI YOGA. read less

That Bhakti is based just on sentiments without any philosophical backing. This absolutely wrong. Bhakti Yoga is based on sound philosophy and reasoning as propounded in the Vedic texts.
