Nirguna Bhakti

Nirguna Bhakti is a spiritual practice within Hinduism that emphasizes devotion to a formless, transcendent aspect of the divine, rather than a personal deity with attributes. Practitioners focus on cultivating love and devotion towards an abstract concept of God, often expressed through poetry, music, and meditation. This path encourages individuals to seek a deeper connection with the divine that goes beyond ritual and idol worship, fostering inner peace and realization of the oneness of existence. Prominent figures associated with Nirguna Bhakti include poets like Kabir and Nanak, who emphasized direct personal experience of the divine.
