What people have said about bhakti yoga in their lives:
"Practicing Bhakti Yoga has been the most transformative experience of my life. Through Bhakti Yoga I have discovered my connection to Spirit. This intimate connection and the commitment to a spiritual path of devotion, love, service and gratitude has burst my heart wide open, and I have fallen in love with life like never before." Tracy S.
"By some grace, bhakti yoga came into my life, and I felt for the first time the yoga of devotion and service and love, and all of it made sense! I learned to sing kirtan, to express my heart and prayers on the mat, and to work with my own noisy mind, directing it toward service. It accidentally leaked into my regular life. I was nicer, calmer, and more capable of seeing the beauty in all people." Lisa O.
"About nine months ago(...) I was introduced to Bhakti Yoga. At first, I thought the Bhakti Yoga practice was pretty much about chanting to other Gods. (...) I felt uncomfortable at first not knowing what I was singing, but I could feel that something was there for me. I knew I was there for a reason. Before I knew it, I dropped my fear of the unknown and my heart opened up wider than ever. There was a shift in my spirit, a shift of acceptance and love. (...) When we sing these chants we are recognizing, connecting and praising the Divine in us all. No matter what the person next to me believes, I still recognize, respect and love the Divine in them as it is the same in me. Therefore, loving everyone in the world with this simple truth." Erin D.
