True devotion is reverent love and surrenders to something greater than the self. It flows from an inner sense of inspiration and awe. The object of devotion may be divine, or even secular passions or people.
When you feel moved to devotion, nurture it mindfully. Let it deepen your purpose and connection to life. Recite the Ganesha mantra "Pranamya Shirasa Devam", which means "I bow my head to the divine power". Feel humility and grace.
Devote yourself to simple acts of love, not dogma. Play music to awaken your spirit. Cook meals for loved ones in need. Tend a garden with care. Perform your work wholeheartedly, as an offering.
