Yogapedia Explains Bhakti-marga
In bhakti-marga, the yogi develops a loving, devoted relationship with a personal god in whatever form that takes – a form or formless god. Traditionally, bhakti-marga is devotion to a guru or deity.
In the practice of bhakti-marga, the yogi devotes all of his energy – his senses, mind and emotions – in an effort to become one with divine love or the Ultimate Reality. This oneness, or union, is the goal of yoga.
Bhakti Marga is the name of an organization founded by Paramahamsa Vishwananda to promote the bhakti path and support yogis on their loving journey.
