Bhakti Yoga: Madhurya Bhava | Romantic Love of Ishwara Part 2 | Acharya Shunya

"Madhurya Bhava - romantic love of Ishwara

Acharya Shunya teaches on Madhurya Bhava - the fourth type of relationship we can have with the Divine in Bhakti Yoga. In this relationship, we start with a feeling of adoration toward the divine which eventually consumes us in a passionate longing for union with Ishwara as a divine beloved.

This relationship is built in stages:
1. Satsanga cultivates an adoration of the Divine
2. Shraddha, conviction in the presence of Ishwara, grows
3. Sadhana, our rituals and practices, are infused with emotional awareness
4. Nishta, a state of non-fluctuating love for the divine, is established
5. Ruchi, an inner inclination to move toward the Divine through satsanga, sadhana, etc., takes hold
6. Rati, an attachment to Truth keeps us anchored when our attachments to all else fall away
7. Prema, supreme love flowers in our being
8. As a Jivanmukta, a liberated being free from limitations, we live from an inner fullness of Divine Awareness. "
