GROWING BHAKTI
level 2 community group for those who appreciate and practice bhakti
overview
Growing Bhakti is for those familiar with Bhakti and looking to develop their faith and Bhakti practice with a group of people who also appreciate Bhakti. Over the course of 8-10 weeks the group spends time reading from important Bhakti texts like the Bhagavad-gita, and discussing topics such as Bhakti philosophy, developing a Bhakti practice, making healthy lifestyle changes, and developing one’s relationship with Krishna and others on the bhakti path.
Growing Bhakti provides a space for people to learn how to practice Bhakti-yoga and to deepen Bhakti practice, to share thoughts and realizations, to express doubts and ask questions, and to find inspiration and support on the Bhakti path.

facilitators
Jamuna Jaya is a senior yoga teacher at Bhakti Center. After her very first yoga class, she instantly connected with yoga’s synthesis of movement and contemplation on the divine. As a life-long spiritual seeker, she quickly “got” it. Eventually her yoga journey led her to the path of Bhakti – practices that inform not just her teaching, but her entire life. Beyond the yoga studio, Jamuna studies under senior wisdom teachers in the Bhakti Center community and shares this same wisdom with fellow seekers.
