Beginner's guide to Bhakti: A spiritual guru explains how to start the path of devotion

A spiritual guru says Bhakti is not about performing elaborate rituals or asking God to fulfil every wish.

According to HH Guruji Sundar of Aathman Awareness Centre, Bhakti is about building a relationship rooted in love, trust and surrender.

Bhakti grows through sincerity, faith, and the willingness to let go of the ego, not by the number of rituals performed.

HH Guruji Sundar suggests ways to begin Bhakti: offer daily actions to the Divine, remember God with love during everyday moments, visit sacred places without expectations, and practice gratitude.

True Bhakti arises from the longing to give oneself completely, not from the desire to receive something.
