We all live our lives searching for Love – true, deep and pure. Life becomes meaningful, bright and joyful only if we find Love. Or the world becomes an empty, sad and lonely place to stay if we experience no love, neither inside nor out. Why? Because Love is something that can transcend time, space, matter. It makes us alive and eternal. It is the most precious gift to be received and given. Wisdom of the saints and the holy scriptures whisper to us that God Himself can be “controlled” by nothing else, but love. But how do we find this sweetest power? What is the process and what is the path? Well the wise Gaudya Vaishnavas (yogis of love) tell us that  the journey leads towards the depths of the heart. How? 

Bhakti yoga is a sacred ancient yogic tradition in Gaudiya Vaishnava line. Bhakti means love, love at its fullest and deepest. While yoga means connection, relationship. Those who travel this path are meant to reach the ultimate destination inside one’s soul –  Loving Relationship with the Creator of all Creation – with the Sweet Absolute, Sri Krishna. 

Bhakti yoga is a tradition full of heartwarming prayers, which in the form of songs (bhajans) are being chanted in association with Vaishnavas. It is a tradition of kirtan – where Maha Mantra ( Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare ) and sweetest names of God are being chanted out loud, together in the assembly of the Devotees. We glorify God, we remember His presence, gifts and thereby we are willing to reconnect to His reality and consciousness of Love.
