Jnana, Karma and Bhakti

 There are 3 types of bhakti

1. Upasana bhakti

2. Karma bhakti

3. Jnana bhakti

Upasana bhakti, is when we bring the lord in a particular form and show our love, devotion and dedication for the lord. Within upasana there are various types of expressing bhakti

1. Mantra Japa dhyana

2. Nama japa

3. Parayana

4. Emotional Sankeerthana

Karma bhakti , is when karma involves ishvara arpana and ishvara prasadatva.

1. Ishvara arpana involves understanding what to give the lord. The lord can only be given sattvic actions, done to achieve dharmic desires, or for the sake of fulfilling ones own dharma. So basically offering dharmic karma

2. Ishvara prasadatvam means while performing actions, understanding that the action will lead to a ishvara prasditva result, which means for the action , ishvara will give a prasada as he sees fit, which you can receive and enjoy 

Jnana bhakti

Jnana bhakti is when one engages in sravana , manana, nidhidhyasanam, and that leads to the removal of ajnana, and understanding that atma is the same as this ishvara, in the paramarthika sense.

In the vyavaharika plane, one continues karma and upasana bhakti, as it saguna.

In paramarthika understanding I keep the understanding that I am nirguna chaitanya wherein, me and my lord are one and the same.
