What is Bhakti Yoga?

Bhakti is the beautiful and natural practice of taking the ego-self out of the center and placing the divine at the center. Bhakti is about service instead of selfishness. By shifting our actions and consciousness away from self-absorption and towards unity-in-diversity, we can begin to see the spark of divinity in all living beings. Distinctions of ‘friend’ and ‘enemy’ fall away.  Nations, races, sexes -- even trees, plants, animals and the earth itself -- are seen in an entirely new light; they are seen as citizens under divinity, worthy of respect and dignity.

No matter what label we’ve been given or what label we’ve taken on, Bhakti, the process of loving service to the divine and divinity in all life, helps us understand that our real identity is pure spirit soul.  We are eternal, blissful, and contain deep intuitive knowledge. We have a deep conviction that we are not born on this planet to hoard, collect, and build fences but in fact, we were born to give love.

The current which moves us in our work, our yoga practice, our teaching, our friendship, our relationship with nature, and our family dynamics, serves a clean agenda of desiring to give love to all living beings, as they are part and parcel of God, the Supreme Soul. This is Bhakti, and it is considered by the sages of the yoga tradition to be the highest form of yoga. This is the bigger picture of yoga that has been overlooked, pushed aside and buried. We at Supersoul are here to reestablish and resurrect Bhakti as the essence of yoga, of life itself.
