Bhakti meaning: devotion, written भक्ति in Devanagari

The bhakti meaning fits in one word: devotion. Bhakti is written भक्ति in Devanagari, the script used for Nepali and Sanskrit, and it is one of the 23 words in our Ek Shabda (one word) collection. Here is what the word means, how it is written, and what it says when it hangs on a wall.

What is the bhakti meaning?

Bhakti means devotion, and more exactly loving devotion to God. In Devanagari it is written भक्ति, and it is a Nepali and Sanskrit word. On our print the word stands large on cream with a teal line, and the English word devotion sits in small type underneath, so a guest who asks what it says can read the answer on the wall.

How do you write bhakti in Devanagari?

Bhakti is written भक्ति in Devanagari, the script used for Nepali and Sanskrit. In Nepali it is said bhakti, just as it is written.

What does bhakti mean to us?

Every word in the collection carries a meaning for us, and Bhakti's is faith and good deeds. Our founder puts it in one line: have faith in God and try to do good deeds. The print suits a wall you pass each day, or a gift for someone who gives themselves fully to what they love.

Which words sit beside bhakti?

Two other words in the collection hang well beside bhakti. Prem (प्रेम) means love, and Kripa (कृपा) means grace, or kindness given freely. Both are set the same way as भक्ति (bhakti), one large Devanagari word on cream. See the Prem print and the Kripa print.
