Bhakti, or devotion, is one of the simplest and purest means of liberation from the cycle of life and death. In bhakti, people surrender themselves to a deity or guru and dedicate their lives to a higher power. There is unconditional love, trust, respect and oneness with the divine, and the whole purpose of their life becomes oneness with the divine power. Bhakti is chanting prayers and hymns, meditating on the form and qualities of the divine, dedicating one’s life to spreading the word of God, and much more.
