Kevala bhakti (Roman Sanskrit: kevalá bhakti) means "complete non-attributional devotion". According to Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, Parama Purusa can be attained only through kevala bhakti.[1]
Description
Anandamurti told that when a spiritual aspirant goes forward towards Parama Purusa by doing sadhana, s/he develops an exclusive devotion and exclusive love for God. This is called kevala bhakti. According to Anandamurti, only in this stage the devotion of the bhakta (devotee) reaches its fruition or culmination.
Anandamurti stated—[1]
In the sphere of spiritual practice, yoga, tantra, and kevalá bhakti, all three, are essential for the realization of Parama Puruśa. We should not ignore any of the three, although [ultimately] Parama Puruśa can only be attained by dint of bhakti – rather, kevalá bhakti [non-attributional devotion].
