Importance of Pratyahara and Vairagya in Bhakti Yoga as Propounded in Mukunda Mala

Abstract :

The Indian Literature is replete with scriptures propounding ways and means to the path of Yoga. The ashtanga yoga has many texts which prescribe practices to purify body and mind in the path of self realization. The Bhakti yoga is another approach which appeals to the emotional or feelings of a practitioner, to achieve mind body purity to attain the highest level of salvation. The south India dominated the Bhakti movement and has spearheaded the production of vast literary treasures accounting for ways and means to achieve the Self realization.
