The saints of Vraja, are illustrious
examples of this kind of bhakti. Their life-stories instill faith in the
heart of the reader and automatically set him on the path of realization
of God in His sweetest aspect, in which He loves and wants to be loved.
In this aspect he can be
realized through Raganuga Bhakti; or the current of devotion that flows
spontaneously and ceaselessly from our heart over running in its course
and barriers of scriptural forms and injunctions.
