Bhakti Marga: The Devotional Path | In Quest of Truth - Q&A with Babaji, No.203
Recorded on 7th December 2024 with worldwide participants.

0:00 Intro
0:05 How do you define bhakti? Ramana Maharshi has said that bhakti is the mother of jnana.
4:46 How can one devote their total attention to the Divinity which is all around? Is bhakti possible with or without image?
8:04 Is it possible to have devotion to the Divinity without taking a deity as your focus?
12:10 If I do rituals to one particular deity, can that benefit my mind and how can it expand my love to the pure formless Divinity?
19:35 When in the duality and you perceive your Deity as higher than you, does it help the mind or is it also a process of going to the ultimate?
23:40 For busy householders, can everyday rituals to a deity purify the mind?
30:15 Is it wrong to worship deities with certain expectations of results which that particular deity can bring?
43:27 What are the stages of the devotion path?
46:55 How do bhakti and dhyana (meditation) support each other?
49:29 Is everyone capable of feeling that love in bhakti?
51:34 Is love absent if I just practice meditation, without following the bhakti marga?
52:54 Is it ok to focus our prayers to particular deities according to our needs?
54:53 What is the difference to the bhakti Babaji had to Swamiji at the beginning compared to now?
57:07 When Babaji talks about all the sages and deities, is that all Swamiji to you?
