Bhakti - the word bhakti comes from the root bhaj, which means to serve (see bhajana). Therefore the primary meaning of the word bhakti is to render service. Sri Rupa Gosvami has described the intrinsic characteristics of bhakti in Sri Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (1.1.11) as follows: anyabhilasita-sunyam jnana-karmady-anavrtam anukulyena krsnanu-silanam bhaktir uttama - "

Uttama-bhakti, pure devotional service, is the cultivation of activities that are meant exclusively for the benefit of Sri Krsna, in other words, the uninterrupted flow of service to Sri Krsna, performed through all endeavors of body, mind, and speech, and through expression of various spiritual sentiments (bhavas).

It is not covered by jnana (knowledge of nirvisesa-brahma, aimed at impersonal liberation) and karma (reward-seeking activity) , yoga or austerities; and it is completely free from all desires other than the aspiration to bring happiness to Sri Krsna.”

Eggs

Eggs are symbolic of something new and fragile. They represent life and development in its earliest forms and, as such, the possibilities are limitless. At times, eggs can represent captivity or entrapment. Carl Jung said that eggs represent our captive souls. Therefore, the egg in your dream may very well represent you in the most profound sense. Are you trapped in a shell or did you break out of it and are now free to soar?

Karmasannyasa Yoga (Sanskrit) The attaining of at-one-ment with the highest by means of renunciation of action for personal benefit, treated in the fifth chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita. An ascetic who seeks nothing for self and rejects nothing for self, who is free from the influence of the pairs of opposites, is thereby released from the bonds forged by action or karma; but renunciation of action and devotion through action are both means of final emancipation, and of the two, devotion through action or karma yoga is superior to renunciation. Thus it is better for the personal man to act, and if necessary to act strongly, for spiritual things and causes, than to renounce personal action of any kind and thereby sink into fruitless quietism.

Sakhya - love or attachment for the Lord which is expressed in the mood of a friend; one of the five primary relationships with Krsna which are established in the heart when the sadhaka has attained the stage of bhava or prema.

One of the angas of sadhana-bhakti; the worship of the Lord while one is in the stage of sadhana in the mood of being a friend of the Lord. Although Sri Bhagavan possesses all opulences and majesty, a bhakta who thinks of the Lord as his friend and endeavors to please Him in this way exhibits this mood of friendship toward the Lord. In the summer season, thinking that his worshipful Lord must be suffering greatly from the heat, the sadhaka will fan Him and offer Him sandalwood and other fragrant and cooling substances. When one does so, he demonstrates a mood of friendship toward the Lord. The difference between dasyam and sakhyam is that sakhyam is imbued with visrambha-seva, the mood of intimacy, free from any formal restraint. This is one of the nine primary angas of bhakti.

lila

“Pastimes,” the eternal activities of the Supreme Lord in loving reciprocation with His devotees.

Finite souls who enter those lilas also become completely free.

Uttara-mimamsa - the philosophy established by Vyasadeva dealing with the latter division of the Vedas (see Vyasa in the Glossary of Names). After thorough analysis of the Upanisads, which comprise the latter portion of the Vedas, and the smrti-sastras which are supplements to the Upanisads, Vyasadeva summarized the philosophical conclusions of those treatises in his Brahma-sutra. This Brahma-sutra, or Vedanta-sutra, is also known as vedanta-darsana or uttara-mimamsa. Like the other philosophical systems, vedanta-darsana accepts certain fundamental principles. The principles of the vedantadarsana are not the imagination of Vyasadeva, but are established on the basis of the apauruseya-veda-sastras, which are understood to have been spoken directly by Sri Bhagavan. The statements of Bhagavan are by definition completely free from the defects of mistakes, illusion, cheating, and imperfect senses. On the other hand, the fundamental principles which are accepted in the other systems are products of their authors’ imaginations. The other systems are based on man-made sastras, composed by greatly learned sages. As a result they are subject to the defects of human limitation. The vedanta-darsana accepts brahma as the supreme fundamental truth. What is the nature of that brahma? The first sutra of vedantadarsana states: athato brahma-jijnasa - "Now, therefore, inquiry should be made into brahma.” The entire vedanta-darsana is presented in order to answer this inquiry. In the course of analyzing what brahma is, one also becomes acquainted with the truths of the jivas, the creation, liberation, and other such topics. As this is a vast subject matter, only a brief introduction has been given here.
