I've used a heart math meditation and after accessing the feeling of love I transferred those feelings onto something I use to fear. Which was snakes now they don't bother me at all. Done it to actually start loving the universe and everything in it. Not sure if it's actually bhakti yoga but it seems to be working for me

[@charlottearena]

I had what I now know as a bhakti blessing, and I never had such a beautiful feeling in my heart before a beautiful fluttering. So thank you for this ❤️ ❤️❤️

[@ebooksmaster]

Is it ok to sing popular songs that we like or do we have to chant the traditional things you speak of?

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

Anything that inspires us to devotion is bhakti yoga. It is the feeling that is important, not the words, music etc.

[@AAmit-fv8hn]

Can we do bhakti yoga through KARMA?

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

Bhakti yoga is when one uses one's emotions i.e. love,devotion, for spiritual growth. Karma yoga is when one uses one's body i.e. service for spiritual growth.

Can I practice Bhakti Yoga even if im not a hindu?

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

Of course. Every religious person all over the world practices it. Ways are different, principle is the same.

[@DouglasHinz]

So, how do you practice Bhakti yoga? I guess that's top secret info.

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

Exactly as is said in the video. Why would it be secret info? 🤔

[@DouglasHinz]

@@TeamJankiSantoke How do you practice Bhakti? Repeating the names of the deity for example. Where do I find the names and how to repeat. I follow Divine Mother. Do I just repeat "Divine Mother Divine Mother Divine Mother" or is there a formula. Mantra recitation. What mantra and how to recite it. What about bowing to the deity or bathing the deity or .... I know there are practices involved in Bhakti. What are they and how does one perform them? Can't seem to find this information. To me it's important. I want to do things correctly.

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

@@DouglasHinz the most important part of the practice of bhakti yoga is remembering it's purpose i.e. of God- Realisation. For this purpose, one requires self purification. As bhakti pertains to emotions, bhakti yoga implies purification of the mind. Which is inculcating love for all, surrender to the unknown and gratitude. All of this is at the mental level. Rituals are at the physical level. To obtain the emotions, one may do the rituals of one's tradition or anything that feels inspiring. Visiting places of worship, singing bhajans or devotional songs or classical music, bathing and taking care of the idol, remembering the Divine Mother's names are all forms of the rituals or practice. Doing it correctly means doing it for the right reason. Meaning not asking for worldly objects but the Mother herself

Hare Krishna mataji 🙏🏽 Mataji I have tried so many times to not get angry but mataji I get angry in the end .... Whenever iam with my parents I get angry even if they don't speak anything I get angry ....I don't want to but ended up getting angry please tell me mataji what to do😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

Please think about why you are getting angry. Are they making you do something you don't want to? Is there any frustration with life? Once you have found the cause, you will be able to deal with it. If you find it too difficult please do reach out to a professional for help.

[@malati.b4807]

@@TeamJankiSantoke No mataji they aren't forcing me for anything but I get negative vibes from them all are eating non veg and speaking bad about others and this make me angry so much .... I've take vows in this Kartik that I won't get angry challenge for whole Kartik month but because of my family iam not able to 😔

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

@@malati.b4807 maybe you can consider this: they are mistreating animals, but I am mistreating my own parents! By being hateful towards them when they are my primary support system. They are talking badly about family members but I am thinking bad. So how are they worse than me? Am I any better? But do be kind to yourself too. This kind of unexplained anger maybe the result of something wrong being done in your spiritual practices. Are you meditating? If so, please stop immediately. We will have to slowly work out where the error is and remove it. You may contact me through the website www.janki.santoke.com

This is wrong. Devotion? Devotion to who??

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

Have you seen the video? For whom is the love is said. What's surrender and gratitude is explained. Hence not sure of the relevance of your question. Not clear what you saw 'wrong'

[@ivanjuarez1160]

@@TeamJankiSantoke the lady said this yoga is devotion. My question is devotion to who or what?

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

@@ivanjuarez1160 as mentioned in the video devotion comprises 3 aspects: 1. Love- for all 2. Surrender- to your ignorance 3. Gratitude- for what is received. Devotion is love towards anything higher. Whatever nobler or unselfish or higher thing which inspires you. For some it may be God, for others it may be missions, for others it may be art or science. Whatever one places above oneself.

[@ivanjuarez1160]

@@TeamJankiSantoke what does yoga mean?

[@TeamJankiSantoke]

@@ivanjuarez1160 the word yoga is an Anglicisation of the Sanskrit word yog. This word comes from the root yuj which means to join. It refers to the joining or merging of the individual soul with the Universal i.e. the state of Self-Realisation or Enlightenment. You are most welcome to join our online sessions.
