    Do you think that Bhakti-yoga can work if the participant has no good foundation in hatha yoga? That seemed to be the prescription of the Hare Krsna movement along with a ban on fornication, alcohol and smoking. The founder was A. C. Bhaktiivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

    As you know, Crowley put Bhakti work in 4=7 Netzach presumably for those who had some kundalini asana/pranayama under their belt...so to speak.

    Maybe bhakti-yoga is ineffective from the get go and that's why the Hare Krsna movement lost it's momentum?

      Gauni-bhakti? Sure. No particular relationship.

      "As you know, Crowley put Bhakti work in 4=7 Netzach presumably for those who had some kundalini asana/pranayama under their belt...so to speak."

      They aren't necessarily linearly associated. The goal was to expose the aspirant to a range of types of yoga so that they had a full tool chest. Gnana and bhakti are in 3=8 and 4=7 because they are thematically consistent with the respective grades.

      "Maybe bhakti-yoga is ineffective from the get go and that's why the Hare Krsna movement lost it's momentum?"

      Has it lost its momentum? You couldn't tell from one of their breakfasts.

        In that case I would propose that bkakti-yog is intensified or more effective when we have good grounding in hatha yoga or at least when we are more able to detach from the components from consciousness.
