Bhakti Yoga and Karma Yoga

Candidas das Prabhu kindly explained me the difference between bhakti and karma yoga.Karma Yoga is "doing things you like for Krishna" and Bhakti Yoga is "doing things you dont like for the pleasure of Krsna(of course as instructed by higher authorities)".Ex-One wants to go to Vrindavan to get the association of devotees, enjoy krsna's pastime places etc but at the same time if one goes to Siberia (though he might not like) but just for krsna's pleasure to spread krsna conciousness..this is bhakti yoga.If given a chance most people will like to go to Vrindavan and then enagage in krsna conciousnesss but few would like to go to siberia in difficult circumstances and preach krsna conciousness.

Also,point to be noted that Gopis are the most exalted example of Bhakti Yoga but still they were always sufferinng because of seperation from Krsna.So,the most exalted devotees of Krsna's always suffer(only in material sense) but they do it for Krsna'..even their suffering is coz of seperation from Krsna..

Further the five stages of yoga are-in Ascending order-1.Bhakti Yoga(in this also several stages like -friend,father,mother,lovers etc) 2.Karma Yoga in Krsna Conciousness(chapter-5 gita) 3.Dhayan Yoga 4.Gyan Yoga (Jgyana ) 5.Karma Yoga(chapter-3)

Special Thanks to Candidas das Prabhu for explaining this very subtle knowledge

All glories to Guru Maharaj Ganesh!

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna,Krsna Krsna Hare Hare
