For a sincere answer there is a need for a sincere question, not just a word.
If you mean what we think about bhakti then it is just another entertainment for the spiritual mind, a path of tacit self brainwashing, of terrible effort to "must believe in something and must adore something which is beyond.
I haven't seen much people that truly and profoundly grew spiritually from this approach. Still, it can be beneficial to some degree and pleasant for the ignorant masses in first stage which in the case of most of them is unfortunately the only stage.
"Temple" means "Mandir"
Man + dir = "Mandir"
Man = mind, dir = inside,
Combine Both = Inside Mind.
Real Temple is Inside Mind, External Temples are just sampels created for the peoples.
"Bhakti hi Shakti hai"
"Bhakti hi Shakti hai"
Hero ki kya baat hai, Maa Durga iss ke sath hai,
"Bhakti hi Shakti hai"
Sincerly.............
By any and all means!
Without Bhakti, the mind rules and becomes dry. Jnana will lead you to the door. Bhakti is the Key!

what is jnana
what is jnana or door can you please explain me in brief, Brother
Jnana is Wisdom
Namaste rajj,
Jnana is Wisdom. It is that practice of examination and discrimination that reveals what is real and what is illusion.
The "door" is the imagined "veil" that stands between the illusory and the Absolute.
Peace,
Ahimsananda

Re: BHAKTI ?
Practice Navatha Bhakti. A small booklet availble on our website. Study it, then practice. This is the teachings of our Guru and my experience too.
