From the website's Introduction: "Many people long for a meaningful and enduring connection with something larger than themselves. They search for calm, purpose, and fulfillment in a world filled with chaos, distractions, and transient pleasures. Bhakti Yoga supplies the means to satisfy these desires and fulfill the primary goal of human life, forming an eternal relationship with the Supreme Lord. Through examining the process of Bhakti Yoga, we will learn the methods and insights that enable us to incorporate it into every facet of our lives from sunrise to sunset. By drawing upon the knowledge of sacred scriptures, the direction of spiritual masters, and the wisdom of great devotees, we will learn how to incorporate devotion into our daily lives. By regularly practicing satsang, prayer, mantra meditation, pooja, kirtan, dhoon, selfless service, and other sacred devotional exercises, we will feel our longings subside, and our sense of contentment and purpose develop. This webpage offers practical, step-by-step directions to motivate and direct us along the path of devotion; it is not a theoretical discussion of Bhakti Yoga. It is a guide for the serious seeker. Bhakti Yoga awakens our hearts, promotes compassion and understanding, and infuses our lives with meaning and joy when performed with sincerity and devotion. It offers a comprehensive strategy for integrating Bhakti into our daily lives that enables us to experience the love and realization of Lord Swaminarayan."
