3. Bhakti is generally understood as a person’s devotion to his or her chosen deity
4. Anybody – whether rich or poor, belonging to the so-called ‘high’ or ‘low’ castes, man or woman, could follow the path of bhakti.
5. This path emphasised devotion and individual worship of a god or goddesses rather than the performance of elaborate sacrifices.
6. As per this system, if a devotee worships the chosen deity with a pure heart, the deity will appear in the form in which he or she may desire.
