This “psychic apparatus” allows the spiritual self to interface with the world of matter, but it also creates confusion and illusion when misidentified as the self.

The Ancient Path of Love and Lasting Happiness 1 - What is Bhakti? The Ancient Path of Love and Lasting Happiness Pranada Comtois What is Bhakti Yoga? More than just a practice of “devotion,” Bhakti is an ancient path of divine love that awakens the heart and fulfills the soul’s deepest longing. Rooted in the Sanskrit word bhaj—to love, serve, and share—Bhakti is both a spiritual tradition and a living yoga system that connects us with our true self and the Divine. Unlike the fleeting and conditional love we often experience in the material world, Bhakti offers a pure, unconditional, ever-increasing love that never betrays us. In this episode, we’ll explore how Bhakti transforms ordinary affection into divine love, why it’s considered the heart of yoga, and how its timeless practices can bring lasting joy, purpose, and inner freedom.
