Modern yogis want to look outward and uplift the world as much as they want to look inward and uplift themselves. Bhakti-yoga offers a powerful prescription for connecting the inward turn that’s required for our contemplative practices with the outward turn that’s required for our social action. In this talk, Hari-kirtana das will discuss the ways in which bhakti-yoga is the yoga of relationships, how bhakti offers a unifying vision of all creation, and how our engagement with the world expands as our sense of spiritual identity evolves. Learn how bhakti-yoga gives new meaning to ‘spiritual activism’ and provides a ‘ladder of motives’ that integrates a vertical transcendence of the world with a horizontal commitment to the world.
