Talk:Sadhana bhakti
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
sādhanabhakti (‘means of [lower] devo-tion [that lead to the highest devotion, parābhakti]’) Bhakti or devotion to God has two aspects: parābhakti and aparābhakti. The former is the intense devotion that spontaneously arises after God-realisation. The latter is the means to it and hence can be termed sādhanabhakti or gauṇī- bhakti. In comparison, parābhakti is called sādhyabhakti. See BHAKTI and BHAKTIYOGA for details.
