139 Real Bhakti – Learning Devotion Is Like Music

Excerpt from live show 112 ("Roundtable discussion on bhakti (Part 1) - Vaishnava, Shaivite, ISKCON & Advaita Vedanta") sharing my thoughts on how each of us can cultivate bhakti daily, using the example of learning/playing music.

I was part of a live roundtable discussion with fellow Hindus discussing bhakti, spiritual advancement, enlightenment, scripture, gurus, Shiva & more. The show was hosted by Rahul Singh with Shiva Kailash Shambho who is in India with Sadhguru's community, Nimai Nitai dasa of ISKM China, Lyam Boylan in British Columbia, Canada & Edwin Ishana Shivam (Edwin Walker) of Nithyananda's community

For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff.
This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.

🎙️ Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort.

I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA.
I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).

Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment.
If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.

🕉️ I'm a Integral Vedic Counselor, Certified Spiritual Life Coach and Ayurveda Specialist. I'm a student of Dr. David Frawley and devotee of Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, following the non-Advaita, non-Universalist Vaishnava lineage of Ramanuja. My spiritual name was a gift from Dr. Chaturbhai Babaria (Swaminarayan Gurukul USA).
