                             💫  DASYAM

                        DEVELOPING A FEELING OF BEING HIS SERVANT. SEEING GOD MANIFESTED EVERYWHERE AND SERVICING ALL LIVING BEINGS MORE THAN GOD. THIS WILL REMOVE PRIDE, ARROGANCE, EGO AND SELFISHNESS OF THE DEVOTEE.

                    💫     SAKHYAM

                        DEVELOPING A FEELING OF FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD. FINDING NO FAULT AND IGNORING ONE'S MISTAKE. FEELING HAPPY, SATISFIED AND CONTENTED WITH WHATEVER GOS HAS GIVEN.

                       💫       ATMANIVEDANAM

                        💫💫

                       COMPLETE AND UNRESERVED SURRENDER TO GOD WITH FULL FAITH AND DEVOTION. FEELING THAT GOD WORKS THROUGH ONE'S BODY, AND SENSES. THE EGO OR "I" THE DOER FACTOR IS TOTALLY DISSOLVED. ONE FEELS ECSTASY THROUGH ONE'S WHOLE BODY, ONE'S VOICE GETS CHOCKED, TEARS START FLOWING. ONE DOES NOT HAVE ANY DESIRE FOR SEX AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY PRIDE AND EGO.

                  OUT OF THESE NINE FORMS OF DEVOTION ONE CAN CHOOSE ANY FORM THAT IS BEST SUITED TO ONE'S SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. THE BHAVA IS A SPIRITUAL FREEDOM AND PERSONAL EXPLORATION THAT ALLOWS ONE TO CHOOSE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD FROM THE VARIOUS POSSIBLE WAYS. IT SHOULD BE DEVOTION WHILE FOLLOWING ONE OF THESE PATHS, IT WILL ULTIMATELY LEAD TO GOD REALISATION.

                        THE DEVOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND GOD CAN BE OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES :

    

                         * MADHURA BHAVA ❤

                            IT IS PASSIONATE LOVE FOR GOD. ONE FEELS GOD IS SOUL MATE. ONE SHARES VERY INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. ONE FEELS INITED WITH GOD BUT THERE IS FEELING OF SEPARATENESS IN IT. IT IS NOT LIKE EARTHLY LOVE FOR A LOVER. IT IS THE PURE UNCONDITONAL LOVE, WITHOUT WISHING ANYTHING IN RETURN FROM GOD. RADHA HAS MADHURA BHAVA FOR SRI KRISHNA. CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU, JAYADEV AND MEERA BAI HAD MADHURA BHAVA FOR LORD SRI KRISHNA.

                         * SHANTA BHAVA ❤

                    💫💫

                               IN SHANTA BHAVA, ONE CULTIVATES THE FEELING TO BE PEACEFUL TOWARDS GOD AND REMAIN IN THAT PEACEFUL STATE. ONE DOES NOT EXPRESS ANY EMOTIONS TOWARDS GOD AND REMAINS CALM AND SERENE. ONE DOES NOT NOT SING OR DANCE. ONE'S HEART IS FILLED WITH LOVE AND JOY ALL THE TIME FOR GOD. BHISHMA HAVE SHANTA BHAVA FOR SRI KRISHNA. SRI AUROBINDO USED TO PRACTICE SHANTA BHAVA.

                       *  VATSALYA BHAVA ❤

                             IT IS THE LOVE OF PARENT FOR THE CHILD. ONE HAS MOTHERLY FEELING TOWARDS GOD. ONE EXPRESSESS SWEET, TENDER AND AFFECTIONATE LOVE FOR THE GOD JUST LIKE ONE'S OWN CHILD. YASHODA HAS VATSALYA BHAVA FOR SRI KRISHNA. FOLLOWERS OF VALLABHACHARYA PRACTICE THIS BHAVA.

                            * SAKHYA BHAVA ❤

                          IT IS THE LOVE BETWEEN TWO FRIENDS. ONE FEELS THAT GOD IS VERY INTIMATE FRIEND. ONE IS EQUAL TERMS WITH GOD. ARJUNA AND DARUPATI HAVE SAKHYA BHAVA FOR LORD SRI KRISHNA.

                          * DASYA BHAVA ❤

                        IT IS THE LOVE OF THE SERVANT FOR THE MASTER. ONE FEELS THAT GOD IS POWERFUL AND OMNIPRESENT AND HE SHOULD BE SERVED WHOLEHEARTEDLY. ONE IS FILLED WITH JOY AND CONTENTMENT IN SERVING GOD. ONE BECOMES MEEK AND HUMBLE. HANUMA HAS DASYA BHAVA FOR LORD RAM. SURDAS HAS DASYA BHAVA FOR LORD KRISHNA.

                     RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA WAS CONSIDERED TO PRACTICE ALL OF THESE BHAVAS AT DIFFERENT TIME IN HIS LIFE.

                  💫💫

                    THE DEVOTEES CONVERT THEIR NEGATIVE EMOTIONS INTO UNCONDITONAL LOVE FOR GOD WHICH IS FREE FROM ALL ATTACHMENTS AND SELFISHNESS. IN BHAKTI YOGA, ONE CAN PROPERLY CHANNALISE ONE'S EMOTIONS TO ATTAIN GOD REALISATION. THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS ARE NOT SUPPRESSED RATHER UTILIZED BY GIVING A PROPER DIRECTION TO EXPERIENCE DIVINE LOVE.
