	Bhakti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within Vaishnavism bhakti is only used in conjuction with Vishnu or one of his associated incarnations, it is likewise used towards Shiva by followers of Shaivism.
		Bhakti as a process of yoga is described in detail famously within the Bhagavad Gita, wherein it is given as the ultimate form of religious expression (18.55), for which all other dharmas should be abandoned (18.66).
		The Bhakti movement is by its nature rebellious as it is egalitarian and poses questions for the elite and powerful in the society.

	VNN Editorial - Essence Of The Ambrosial Ocean Of Devotion - Part I
		In the First Wave, Rupa Goswami defines exactly what he means by bhakti of the highest order which he calls uttama-bhakti, and describes the six hallmarks of such bhakti.
		Rupa Goswami terms this "rasa." There are five components of rasa, and the Southern Ocean devotes one wave to each: (1) the stimuli of love (vibhava), (2) the expressions of love (anubhava), (3) the involuntary expressions of love (sattvika-bhava), (4) the "bad" or contrary expressions of love (vyabhicari-bhava), and (5) the basic loving mood (sthayi-bhava).
		The ninth and final wave describes a similar situation: If the stimuli, expressions, involuntary expressions, or contrary expressions appropriate for one loving mood appear in connection with a different loving mood, that mood may not fully develop into a relish-able loving experience.

		The attachment to ideas or expressions is as bad or worse than the attachment to material goods or sensory experience.
		I use the term "expressions" to mean "certain phrases, sentences, terms, or ideologies which are customarily used to express a given concept or concepts." I prefer to use the term expressions rather than dogmas or doctrines because even non-dogmatic or non-doctrinaire people can be attached to a given expression.
		However, since everything that is, is an expression of the One (what else could it be?), then looting and pillaging and kicking the dog also serve the purpose of the One, in ways which I personally often find too obscure for me to grasp.

		By choosing to present a twin production — Thyagaraja Ramayanam and Navarasa - Expressions of Life, Ananda Shankar Jayanth was able to make an artistic statement of the nine aesthetic moods that form the crux of abhinaya (life) in the dance idiom.
		If the song and story (Thyagaraja Ramayana) which encapsulate a gamut of sensibilities gave the dancer enough scope to showcase the nine moods so evident on the surface, the sequel Navarasa was presented sans substantial subject through pure nritta (technical footwork) and music (swara).
		Costumes for nine colours to symbolize nine moods was redundant as the sharp contrast in some colours was not all that evident.
