What is the real defination of bhakati ? What Srimadbhagabat gita has described?

Answer 1

In scriptures such as the Bhagavata Purana, bhakti is described as a perfectional stage in itself which surpasses even moksha as a level of spiritual realisation. Hindu movements in which bhakti yoga is the main practice are called bhakti movements.

Bhakti Yoga
Put simply, Bhakti Yoga is Service in Love and Devotion to God (Krishna in the context of the Bhagavad Gita).

"I consider the Yogi-devotee - who lovingly contemplates on Me with supreme faith, and whose mind is ever absorbed in Me - to be the best of all the Yogis". "After attaining Me, the great souls do not incur rebirth in this miserable transitory world, because they have attained the highest perfection." "... those who, renouncing all actions in Me, and regarding Me as the Supreme, worship Me... For those whose thoughts have entered into Me, I am soon the deliverer from the ocean of death and transmigration, Arjuna. Keep your mind on Me alone, your intellect on Me. Thus you shall dwell in Me hereafter." "And he who serves Me with the yoga of unswerving devotion, transcending these qualities [binary opposites, like good and evil, pain and pleasure] is ready for liberation in Brahman." "Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, offer service to Me, bow down to Me, and you shall certainly reach Me. I promise you because you are My very dear friend." "Setting aside all meritorious deeds (Dharma), just surrender completely to My will (with firm faith and loving contemplation). I shall liberate you from all sins. Do not fear."

While it has an extensive list of philosophical and religious associations, the Bhagavad Gita is also seen as a cornerstone for Hindu Bhakti theism, especially within Vaishnavism. However, it has been interpreted by many as being a manual not limited just for devotees of Krishna. Whatever be the case, it is adamant, in Krishna's words, that love and innocent pure intention is the most powerful motive force in a devotee's spiritual life. It is a very succinct and comprehensive statement on the mindset of the Bhakta (loving devotee), regardless of the form of God chosen:

man-mana bhava mad-bhakto, mad-yaji mam namaskuru, mam evaishyasi yuktvaivam, atmanam mat-parayanah

"Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me." (B-Gita 9.34)
bhaktya mam abhijanati, yavan yas casmi tattvatah, tato mam tattvato jnatva, visate tad-anantaram

"One can understand Me as I am, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of Me by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God." (B-Gita 18.55)-

Answer 2

Bhakti is selfless pious total surrender , to a higher self, without any longing for any form of benefit out of the same. There is love and devotion in this relationship , which usually seems to be one way affair. That is , regardless of the acceptance of such bhakti by the bhakta , to the higher self , the bhakta still goes on with the wholehearted love. This bhakti cult is the birth of "krishnaism/ vaishnavism", where the name song , bring tears of love to the bhakta.
Accordingly , the higher self also is moved by such devotion and declares "bhakta is my life !"
Gita deals mainly with Karma , Raja and Gyana Yogas , where searching for Bhakti Yoga may not yield much results.

Answer 6

(from Sanskrit bhaj, “to allot,” “to revere”), in Hinduism, a devotional movement emphasizing the intense emotional attachment and love of a devotee toward his personal god. Bhakti assumes a dualistic relationship between the devotee and god, in contrast to the monistic ideal of Advaita Ved(nta philosophy. The way of bhakti (bhakti-marga) is contrasted with other means of achieving salvation, such as knowledge (jnana-marga), ritual and good works (karma-marga), and ascetic disciplines of the body; it is claimed by its supporters to be a superior way, as well as one open to all, irrespective of the sex, class, or caste status into which they were born.

Though each of the major divinities of Hinduism—Vishnu, ‰iva, and ‰akti—has its own devotional cults, the bhakti movement most characteristically developed around darshan Vishnu, principally in his two earthly incarnations as R(ma and Krishna.

An emotional attraction toward a personal god began to be expressed in the early centuries of the Christian Era. It was an attitude furthered by the Indian epics—the Mah(bh(rata and the R(m(yapa—and by the Pur(pas, encyclopaedic texts that recount legends of the various incarnations and appearances of the deities, their genealogies, and devotional practices accorded them. These practices included the recitation of God's name, singing of hymns in praise of him, wearing his emblem, undertaking pilgrimages to sacred places associated with him, and serving him in a variety of ways.

The devotional fervour of the 7th–10th-century hymnists of South India, the )dv(rs and the N(yam(rs, also traveled north, until in time bhakti became an extremely widespreadand popular form of Hindu religious life, inspiring a substantial quantity of superb religious poetry and art.

During the medieval period (12th to mid-18th century), the various possible relationships of the worshiper to God—based on the analogy of human sentiments, such as that felt by a servant toward his master, friend toward a friend, parent toward a child, child toward a parent, and woman toward her beloved—were explored in separate schools. In Bengal the 15th–16th-century mystic Caitanya stressed the passionate yearning of a woman for her beloved, while his contemporary Vallabha delighted in the exploits of Krishna as the divine child, as well as Krishna as the divine lover. TulsYd(s' retelling of the R(ma legend in the R(mcaritm(nas focused on the sentiment of friendship and loyalty. The synthesis in the medieval period of bhakti ideas with ˜¨fY (mystical) elements from Isl(m can be discovered in the writings of poet-saints such as KabYr, devotees of a God whom they were unwilling and unable to delimit by sectarian description.
