Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is not a valid source for religion. The very Wikipedia entry for Rashakrishnan reveals this, by presenting his quote, also published on "positive atheism". Radhakrishnan wanted to discard religion from Vedas and accept only the social and moral benefits. In other words, another Heaven without God, the Holy Grail of all atheists. Quoting him on Hindusim is like quoting Marxists on Christianity. Entry on Varuna is nonsense in the same fashion. Bhakti is the path of salvation. Varuna is a demi-god, category: jiva-tattva, and needs salvation himself. Bhakti is a relationship possible with God only, it is an emotion that can not be experienced with any other being, except God. In Hinduism category: God (as opposed to: demi-god) is classified as vishnu-tattva. Only with vishnu-tattva bhakti is possible, and only here we can search for the roots of bhakti.
- I have recently re-worked this page, and am in agreement with much of the above. It was barely an article on 'bhakti' in it's former state. GourangaUK 11:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

- I would like to put the Sri Sampradayam description of Bhakti yoga. From the time of Ramanujacharya and before, Bhakti yoga was the practise of regular Ashtanga yoga...but, Lovenly meditate on Vishnu/Narayana. Doing dharana and dhyanam on Vishnu/Narayana is still a basic,every day part of the sadhana of a Sri Sampradayam Vaishnava. This was the standard and practise from Ramanujacharya and before. I think and feel that it should be included on this article. The conception of Bhakti yoga on this article is very tinged with a ISKON understanding and slant. I think it would be fair to add the original Sri Sampradayam standard to this article Govinda Ramanuja dasa USA (talk) 07:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
