As the name suggests it is the Union with/of as by the means of Bhakti (Devotion)... Bhakti!!! What exactly is this??? There are millions of explanations given in the scriptures... According to Narad muni who has written the Bhakti Sutras there are 11 types of Bhakti...
During my observation the awareness about the Bhakti or just to put it in words exist on 3 different planes of existence... Deh Bhava, Jeev Bhava & Atma Bhava... experience of devotion when you are in any of these 3 planes... In physical body, In individual Consciousness and In the Collective Consciousness...
When in Deh Bhava "I" am your servant!!!
When in Jeev Bhava "I" am a part of YOU!!!
And when in Atma Bhava "I" am YOU!!!
Each and every one has experienced this in some or the other Lifetime... This is the ultimate sthiti of Bhakti (state of Devotion) ... This Bhakti was the extra attribute(kala) of Hanuman over Lord Ram... If you are in this stage of Devotion you will be invincible... And Immortal... The Masters grace will protect you from any given troubles... That was the mistake of Hunuman.. He is liberated yet bound to this body... hehehehehe...
That is one way of Bhakti Yoga... There are many ones... There are 7 Immortals depending upon their type of Bhakti...All of these went on to become the Pinnacle of their type of Devotion. they are :-
1) Ashvatthama - Revenge
2) Bali - Donation (giving Daan)
3) Vyas - Seeking Knowledge
4) Krupacharya - Kraurya (Hatred I think so)
5) Parshuram - Valour
6) Hanuman - Service
7) Vibhishan - Treachery
All these are the immortals cuz they went on to become the Best in some or the other form of Devotion!!!
But all the truth is there in this Beautiful "NOW" Be in Now and Be happy, Be Nothing and Be Devoted... There is always somethings more to write on this topic.... So till the next Post...
Chill Maddi... ADIOS :-)
