“Bhakti” means devotion which is caused by unadulterated love. “Yoga” means connection to divinity. In essence Bhakti yoga is connecting to Divinity through loving devotion.
Bhakti is described in the Vedic tradition as a beginningless path. At the dawn of creation, sacred knowledge is transmitted through sound vibration — wisdom that is preserved in the Bhagavad Gita, the classic text on yoga, and the Shrimad Bhagavatam, the crown jewel of all Vedic literature.
Bhakti Yoga is a living tradition that invites us to align our words, actions, intelligence, and senses in devotion. It offers a holistic way of life that transforms the ordinary into the sacred, cultivating a growing and reciprocal relationship with the Divine.
Bhakti Yoga awakens the recesses of our childlike nature, offering space to cultivate divine expression and lasting joy. Whatever challenges we face in life, the practice of Bhakti provides the key to peace, happiness, and union with the Divine.
BYT promotes love through sound vibration and yoga philosophy.
At BYT, our mission is to support all truth seekers in going deeper into their spiritual path through authentic yoga science and philosophy.
With the use of applied spiritual technology from Bhagavad Gita (As it is) and corollaries of the Vedas we assist all spiritualist in deeper levels of divine consciousness.
Our aim is to develop devotional love (bhakti) to God through ancient methodologies like chanting, dancing, feasting and philosophical discourses.
Step into a timeless realm where the path to enlightenment unfolds, guiding you towards profound insight, boundless compassion, and lasting inner peaceAside from the profuse scientific evidence on the validity of sound vibration meditation, anyone that practices bhakti for a moment will notice positive life altering changes.
Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, offers profound benefits that touch every aspect of life. While its ultimate purpose is spiritual — awakening love for the Divine — the journey also brings natural improvements to our mental, emotional, and even material well-being.
As the co-founder of Bhakti Yoga Tulsa, my spiritual journey began in the early 90s when my family was first introduced to the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and other Vedic literatures. Growing up with skeptical, analytical parents meant my youth was filled with inquiry—always searching for deeper truths. But when my mother encountered these sacred texts, everything shifted. A seed was planted in our lives, one that I felt called to nurture and share.
When I moved to Oklahoma years later, I realized a universal truth: everyone is searching. We all long for lasting happiness, yet too often look outside ourselves—in things or relationships—to satisfy the soul’s inner yearning.
In 2018, I embraced the opportunity to serve as community steward and lead organizer of Bhakti Yoga Tulsa. From that moment, my purpose has been clear: to create a grassroots movement where seekers of all backgrounds can gather, discover living philosophy, and build a tangible relationship with the Divine.
Our vision is simple yet powerful—to bring people together in song, dance, meditation, and the joyful glorification of God’s holy names. In this community, every sincere soul has a place, and every voice adds to the chorus of spiritual awakening.
