BHAKTI DEVI OR MAYA DEVI

Early morning musings...

The name of the game is bhakti, devotional service. There is no other way.
"My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and can thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding. " BG 11.54

Where else do we see this? The only way.. No other means....
"harinama harinama harinama eva kevalam
kalau nastyeva nastyeva nastyeva gatir anyatha


“‘In this Age of Kali there is no other means, no other means, no other means for self-realization than chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name of Lord Hari.’ Brhannaradiya Puranam (38.126)

Where else?
Christ has said I am the way...

Which one is it right? They can't all be the only way.. They're all different right? Wrong. They are not different.

The spiritual master is the incarnation of bhakti, devotional service.
The servitor godhead.


Hari Nama Hare Krishna mantra is the sound incarnation of Godhead in the mood of servitor.

They are all incarnations of bhakti.
Who or what is bhakti?
She is an energy of the Lord. The energy of pure devotion.
When we take shelter of bhakti another energy of the Lord, Maya devi, the energy of illusion, cannot have influence. It is just like sunshine and darkness. Where there is sunlight there is no darkness. This is the path of Back to Godhead.
