 
Surrender
to Love

Bhakti is a beautiful path. It
effortlessly purifies the mind and opens the heart. It is said
by the sages of old that Bhakti Yoga is the surest, safest, simplest
and easiest way to liberation. It is also deeply satisfying as
a practise and highly contagious. Whilst Bhakti is primarily an
internal practise, it is also an amazing way of unifying with
others. Spending time in group practise such as praying, chanting,
singing, playing sweet and rousing music together often evokes
transcendental states of consciousness.
All religious traditions sing,
pray or chant which is essentially a way of consciously engaging
in a relationship with God. Singing, praying and chanting are
all aspects of devotional practise; they are simply expressed
in different ways. These expressions range from being alone
in quiet contemplative reverence to being in large and wildly
ecstatic groups. Bhakti is the nectar of devotion that pours
into and out of the devotee when engaging this Yoga.
