Simple ways to practice Bhakti Yoga as taught by Kripaluji Maharaj

Practicing Bhakti Yoga in the company of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj entails consistency, selfless love to God using the mind, and in turn, changing ordinary life into devotion. In this way, divine connection is made available to everyone in favor of inner remembrance as opposed to elaborate rituals. Beginners are able to begin simple, and form the habit which results in deep tranquillity and religious joy.

Essence of Kripalu Ji Maharaj's Teachings

Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj presented Bhaktiyog by his own philosophy, such as Bhaktiyoga Tattvadarshan, with a focus on Radha Krishna only. He instructed that a life of true devotion will feed the soul more than worldly delights, and bring a person to disconnection with the self and wants. This psychological exercise cleanses the mind, and negativity is substituted with godly grace.

Daily Remembrance Practices

Incorporate God's name into normal activities such as eating, working or traveling by humming or mentally repeating it. Install pictures of the Divine in conspicuous locations such that they remind the thoughts of love through the day. Kripalu Ji Maharaj had suggested mild perseverance, of which constant remembrance re-programs the mind towards the devotion of nature.​

Roopdhyan Meditation Technique

Roopdhyan, which is the main aspect of his approach, implies to meditate in the form of God with a sense of love and imagine Radha Krishna as brightly as possible during the chanting. Wait 10-15 minutes, remembering pleasant things and traits to create feelings of emotional attachment. When distracted, revert gently, as a child to its mother, developing in the long run an undeterred concentration.

Offering Actions as Worship

Commit every task such as professional, home or personal to God prior to commencing, and perceive it as service. Finalize work by laying results, success or failure, at His feet, to be disintegrating. This effortless unity transforms the insignificant things into a holy sacrifice, and it is the Bhakti which makes life consistent.

Role of Kirtan, Satsang, and Seva

Sing kirtans or bhajans daily, even briefly, to awaken joy and melt the heart. Take part in satsang at ashrams of Kripalu Ji Maharaj such as Vrindavan or Delhi to listen to discourses and get inspired. Selfless service, viewing God in others, increases devotion by being a humble servant.

Cultivating Surrender

Take things in life as they are, as they are the will of God and take matters with responsibility. When confronted, pray to be strong and not to resist but to allow the complete surrender. The childlike dependence is emphasized even by evening reflection, which gives the joys and burdens of the day to God.

Conclusion

The practice of Bhakti Yoga of Kripalu Maharaj brings about sahachari bhava, the companionship of Radha Krishna forever, liberation of the soul. Constant practice results in love of God that overshadows all the other things in the world giving unquestioning peace. One can begin with mere remembering today, and the Guru grace will take care of gradual advancement towards God-realization.
