In this episode,  we are talking about Bhakti Yoga. Bhakti Yoga is a difficult concept for both of us as we do not follow the traditional idea of Bhakti. But we did rigorous research about Bhakti Yoga, read how ancient philosophers interpreted them. Again, at no point, will we be saying, "Hare Rama Hare Krishna or that  Krishna is the ONLY TRUTH. There is no other God bigger than him or anything along those lines." 

Instead, we will provide the historical significance of the concept of Bhakti in Hinduism, how it started, what influenced the idea, and why the Bhagavad Gita chose such a drastic turn from philosophies of karma yoga, Gyana yoga and Dhyana yoga to Bhakti yoga.

If our stand makes you uncomfortable, we apologize beforehand. Our goal is not to offend anyone. We want to be very open-minded and transparent about how we are approaching the concept of Bhakti and how we understand it and this is our interpretation of it. 

1.  What is Bhakti Yoga? How does Krishna insert the idea of Bhakti?
2. What does surrendering mean? We give an example of when Krishna saves Draupadi during attempted Cheerharan incident in Mahabharat
3. The link between Universe or Brahman in Upanishad and Krishna himself
4. The historical significance of the Bhakti movement in India, and how the modern concept of Bhakti is influenced by Sufism.
