Why Devotion is so important...?



Devotion (bhakti), is an act of dedication attachment and love towards a personal god. Sri Krishna explained in Bhagavat Gita about 'Bhakthi Margam.' in bhakthi yoga. Century to century, periodically the devotional loyalty from generation to generation different kinds seems to by the various possible ways between the devotees of devotion on god. For example in Trethayukam Vishnu incarnated as Sri Rama. All Sages' devotion on Rama as Parabrhaman. Dasaratha showered his devotion on Rama with affection and love (Pitru-bhavam ) the fatherly devotion, Ravana 's devotion was enmity, Jatayu also paternal devotion, Vebeshana, surrendered and Guhan's is  brotherly devotion, Hanuman's devotion is 'Dhasarathi Bhavam' servant-like devotee of Sri Rama, yet Saint Tyagaraja, and Thulasi dasa, were devout of devotee to Rama in Kaliyuka. In Dvaparayugam Vishnu incarnated as Sri Krishna, first the new born baby showed with four hands holding Shankku, Chakkra Gadha to Devaki Vasudeva as divinity hence they are divine parents, Yasotha Nandhan's is parental devotion, Kamsa, sanoora's devotion was enmity, Gopies are poured their love on Krishna is called love and affection devotion, Pandava in general friendly devotion but for Arjuna Sri Krishna is instructional godhead so he was devotee of godly-man, however Meerabai devoted that a thought of Sri Krishna as her husband and another devotee is oothukadu Venkatasubbair alias Venkatakavi etc are devoted Sri Krishna as brhaman and a series of devotees Azhivars were devout of devotees to Sri Krishna in Kaliyuga. In the same kind Sage Sananthan and Sage Sanatkumara and all other sages and seers devoted as a thought of Lord Siva as their Preceptor, all Nayanmars and Raman maharishi are devout of devotees on Siva in Kaliyuga, Goddess Lalitha (Aradhana) adoration by all devas and including the trinity of gods. The witness is Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam says “chidhagni kunda sambootha devakarya samutyadha” meaning: She who rose from the ritual fire to help the deeds of devas yet Syamasastri, a thought of sisterly affection and Abiramibatter, Ramakrishna Paramahamsar Muthusamy deekshithar devotion is as Parabrahma sakthi so they are devout of devotee on goddess Sri Lalitha in Kaliyuga as that people were worshiped. However we just see why is the bhakthi what is the inner meaning, and what is its series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular destination.
The human mind, body, thoughts feelings will change every day and every minute. Vedhantha philosophy says that one self survives more than his conscious. The unchanging Atman resides with in him self. Our innermost, transcendental self, as conflicting to the physical self ; because we unaware of our true self. The fact that of our passionate involvement with our materialistic self and its search for joy. The cosmos can never give complete and enduring happiness, because it is in a state of constant instability. Only way to attain true happiness, full conscious on our Atman and the search of its true relationship with Brahman.
The common word moksham or goal, the meaning is very clear yet ignorant of the modern young world is getting confused. what is moksham? the moksham is Freshness, realization or freedom. Freedom is not only after death; it is even while alive to lead a peaceful life. For that our ancestors and preceptors given to observe the terms of the fundamental doctrine or tenet of a distinctive ruling opinions. For example If a child get mother's milk at that moment satisfaction is Moksham to that child, once he grows if he get nice schooling and best surroundings pleasant parental love and all goes well at that moment is moksham to that boy, after his education if he secure a job as his wish that minute he gets his freedom; and his married life with children comfortable life with wealth that second really he reached his destination yet when he has wealth performing all rituals, worshiping god in condition of being magnanimous; generosity, no ego, cast and creed with pure and clear mind at that minute certainly he realized his true self or has seen brhaman is residing with in him self. The devotional performance is open to all there is no cast /creed or men/women and no age limit. Devotional practices included reciting the hymns on god or goddess, singing in praise of the deity, wearing identification signs on forehead, and undertaking pilgrimages, the group religious ritual at the temple, after the function having god and goddess darshan then consuming prasadam is an essential part of the devotion. ('Prasadham' meaning is “grace” or the food left by a divine ritual).
The Bhagavata Puranam describes nine types of bhakti or devotional services as follows: 1 Sravanam: Listening the stories and glories of God. 2 Keerrtanam: Singing or Reciting the names and glories of God. 3 Smaranam: act of causing to remember the Lord 4 Pada-sevanam: act of frequent service to Lord . 5 Archana: the act of honoring to the lord with flowers 6 Vandana: Prostration to God. 7 Dasyam: Service to almighty of god 8 Sakhyam: Having companionship with him. 9 Atma-nivedanam: complete surrender oneself on him,
Brahman is formless, infinite and eternal. Brahman is neither male nor female, It is beyond the destiny and time, It is changeless and It is of our best consciousness. One can achieve this only with his empirical observation. Brahman cannot exist, it is the existence of inner self and it is ultimate knowledge of reality.
By achieving awareness of Atman and its unity with Brahman, which is not only happiness, but also familiarity gain from ignorance. At the end (Moksha) the liberation from a wheel of lives called Samsara Or birth/death cycle.
Young people of the world! understanding the greatness of devotion and following the Myths are the route to slip away from evil force and which is alone can save mankind from error and extinction".
