        abstract = {Introduction:Indian cultural tradition has recognized three paths for realizing the supreme: Gnyanamarga “the path of knowledge”, Karmamarga “the path of action or ritualism” and Bhaktimarga “the path of devotion”. The first path focused on achieving self-realization and liberation (moksha) through wisdom and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge. The second focusing on performing selfless, ethical duties (dharma) without attachment to the results or rewards of the actions. The third path is also known as the path of love and devotion. It is the path of self-surrender, of devoting and dedicating all of One’s resources to attaining the ultimate reality. 
The world Bhakti itself is formed from the root bhaj-sevayam (in the sense of service) with a suffix ktin. The word Bhakti thus, primarily means ‘service’. Bhakti implies a sincere service of a god prompted by intense love based on a sense of supreme faith, (Bhakti and faith are only two sides of a coin, faith itself develops into Bhakti). Bhakti indicates a bhava or condition. The word bhakti in the sense of excessive fondness and devotion. In this proposed research paper, I have discussed the concept and division of Bhakti Rasa as described in Bhaktirasamrita Sindhu.},
