Subject: [K-list] Bhakti Yoga and imagined place
From: Alexandra Kafka


On 2002/02/16 10:45, Alexandra Kafka posted thus to the K-list:

Kindly allow me some questions about Bhakti Yoga.
When one worships one's choosen deity in the manner of Bhakti Yoga, can one imagine oneself living together with the deity in a surrounding imaginesd as real?
Let's say I would worship Krishna: Could I create in my mind a Vrindaban and imagine myself living there together with Krishna as my brother?
Or let's say I worship Kali: Could I create in my mind a cremation ground and imagine Kali being a widow, disowned by her family, who lives there begging for alms and myself being her only daughter who choose to go with her, so that we would live together on that cremation ground and have a very close relationship because we had no one in world than ourselves?
How would I know if what I imagine has any reality, if this "place" (Vrindaban/cremation ground) I imagine has any reality, and is not mere figment of the imagination, only a self-created illusion?

I am most sorry if this sounds rather crazy.
I beg everybody who has an idea or opinion about my questions to send a mail.

Kind regards
OM SHANTI,
Alexandra
