How do I begin bhakti?
Begin with satsang and a saint
The first step of bhakti is the company of saints. Take the shelter of a saint, after checking well that there is no pretence. Hearing saints speak of Bhagwan's love, nature and compassion brings shraddha (faith) into the heart.
The first bhakti is the company of saints. Why was it named first? Because through it, completeness will come.
