Abstract

1.Suprabhatam, Sushwagatam (Good morning and welcome)…
2.Bhakti Yoga is path of emotion.
3.It deals with Devi Sampat (virtues) and Asuri Sampat (demonic vices).
4.Demonic vices enslave us. Whereas, virtues elevate us to highest level of freedom.
5.Anger, jealousy and are hatred are violent emotions or demonic vices. They reduce human being to animal level.
6.Such vices destruct intellect by reducing memory.
7.Virtues are essentially Satvic. Love, compassion and magnanimity are virtues.
8.In Bhakti Yoga, we resolve to increase virtues and reduce vices.
9.Selfish love is transformed to next level consisting love and sacrifice. It is done by complete surrender.
10.Such surrender involves giving up all likes and dislikes to someone. He/she might be husband or wife or mother or god or goddess. Surrender gives expansion and Moksha
