Bhakti Yoga

Vivekananda described Bhakti Yoga as the path of divine love, where the devotee cultivates an intense, personal relationship with God that transcends all ritual and dogma. He taught that true devotion is not born of fear or desire for reward, but springs from the soul's innate longing to reunite with its source, culminating in Para Bhakti — supreme love that sees the Divine in all beings. Drawing on the Narada Bhakti Sutras and the lives of great mystics, he showed that Bhakti is both the easiest and the most natural of the four yogas.
