The essence of Bhakti yoga..
Just add Bhakti to whatever you like to do ..
Could be predominantly karma yoga
Could be predominantly jnana yoga
Could even be predominantly meditations of Radha Krishna in “Astanga” type yoga .
In all cases adding Bhakti is the essential ingredient , by applications of all three Bhakti is nourished and increases, and Bhakti is perfected only when Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s Siksastakam is applied , and one carefully follows the instructions internally and externally of the Gaudia Vaisnava param para acaryas.
The details of how to apply jnana , karma, or astanga type meditations have been clearly explained by Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Ragganatha das Goswami , Srila Jiva Goswami and Srila Sanatana Goswami , Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu conversations with Ramananda Roy are the guiding light to the systematic essentials of the ultimate esoteric perfections .
Smiling Gurus and sober Gurus
