To be ever singing His name and glories is to be in tune with Him. Let the Name ring, and ring on, to awaken in the hearts of you all, the inexpressible bliss of Prem.

Swami Papa Ramdas

 

Bhakti is the beginning; Bhakti is the end. Bhakti is the way; Bhakti is the goal. Jnana and Karma are only necessary props on which is hoisted the majestic dome of Bhakti. God says, I am the same to all beings but My devotees are dear to Me". So, true devotion is based on the equality of vision. Samadarshan gives knowledge and peace. Bhakti gives pure love and Premanand. Knowledge enlightens and upholds; devotion yields thrills of joy and ecstasy. The two combined make Purna Yoga. Behold God as all, and still be His child and servant. You are at once He and His child. God is His own devotee. He is a mystery, but a revealed mystery - revealed in love and joy. To be ever singing His name and glories is to be in tune with Him. Beloved Ram is captured within our heart. "Where can You go, O Beloved? Thou art always in Thy child."

 

Surrender to Him, and He looks after you, plans and arranges everything for the best for you. He is the all-loving Divine Mother. Don't give up evening Bhajan. All of you join in it. More and more of Nam Sankirtan or Smaran together! Let the Name ring, and ring on, to awaken in the hearts of you all, the inexpressible bliss of Prem. Love to you all !

Which path do you follow?...................What is the greatness of Bhakthi?

 

What is the greatness of Bhakthi?

 

When will I get Bhakthi?

 

Continuously remembering one's true nature is what is called Bhakthi

 

Constantly thinking about the Lotus feet of the Lord is Bhakthi

 

Let the one who cannot do Bhakti go out to do tapas! Bhagawan Yogiramsuratkumar says, "Chanting Ram Naam always is Bhakthi."

 

Bhakthi alone is capable of conferring liberation - Srimad Bhagavatha Mahathmyam

 

Bhakti Yoga is an easy path - Sri Ramakrishna
