Yoga of Divine Love

Bhakti, or devotion, is essential for Integral Yoga because it provides the constant aspiration and surrender necessary for transformation. Thus, the integral yogi should include the following practices in the path of Divine Love:

• Universalized devotion: the object of devotion is the Supreme Divine, who is the All and not just a limited deity.

• Inner and intimate communion: the yogi cultivates an intense, personal, and inner relationship with the Divine Beloved, offering all thoughts, feelings, and actions.

• Threefold worship: An act of worship in Integral Yoga includes three parts:

  • The physical act itself.

  • The mental consecration that gives the act symbolic meaning.

  • The inner adoration and aspiration of the soul for union with the Divine.

• Expansion of love: This constant emotional connection deepens into a boundless love for the Divine in all things and beings, bringing a profound sense of inner bliss.
