8: The Speciality of Bhakti Yoga

Its experience transcends the pathway of Gyan Yoga

God has three main aspects: the effulgent light (Brahman); partial manifestation (Paramatma); and fully personified (Bhagwan). Each realisation is progressively blissful in experience. In Bhakti Yoga (relating to the realisation of Bhagwan, the personified aspect) we find the most intimate loving experience a soul can attain to. So much so, that the greatest Gyan yogis in history praised the speciality of Bhakti over Gyan and desired to enter the sublime path of Bhakti themselves. This talk gives tremendous insight into why this is so.
