Bhakti for Beginners
Embark on a path of love, devotion, and spiritual connection.
What is Bhakti Yoga?
"All the spiritual paths can be divided into two groups. The path based on head and the path based on heart. Bhakti yoga is the path of heart. It is the process of practicing love for God and his creation, which includes human beings, animals and nature." Â
- Babaji
How Does Vedic Psychology Relate to Bhakti Yoga?
"You need your mind to do bhakti yoga. The whole thing is about fixing the mind. Because when you fix your mind, then you can do bhakti."
- Babaji

BOOK
The Bhagavad Gita
One of my favorite stories is about the world’s first psychologist, long before “psychologist” was a job title.
The story of the Bhagavad Gita, in which Sri Krishna teaches Arjuna about the psychology of the human mind. More specifically, he teaches Arjuna about his own mind.
Krishna teaches Arjuna about his current state of mind, why he is suffering, and what he needs to do to break free from his predicament.
Buy NowThe Power of Kirtan
The journey of Bhakti starts with simple acts, like kirtan. Kirtan is a devotional practice involving the singing or chanting sacred mantras in a group setting, often accompanied by traditional musical instruments.Â
