Bhakti

Bhakti is a spiritual concept in Hinduism that emphasizes devotion and love for a personal god or divine figure. It involves expressing faith and surrender through practices such as prayer, chanting, and worship. Bhakti transcends ritualistic practices and encourages a direct emotional connection with the divine. Originating in the Bhakti movement in medieval India, it promoted accessibility to spirituality for all, regardless of caste or gender. Bhakti fosters community and personal growth, emphasizing inner devotion over formalism, enabling individuals to find meaning and connection in their spiritual lives.
