Ah good question......what i follow is the aspect of hinduism that is bhakti-yoga or devotion to the surpreme personality of Godhead(bhagavan-vasudeva-sri-krsna), i do not adhere to the devotion of the absolute inpersonal brahmin for that is merely the aura of the divine that is formless, oh darkdale for within bhakti all else is gained for it is the song of love between devotee and God, and by his grace alone enlightinment is achieved,many blessings to you.;)

From what I've read the Bhakti are very devoted, very passionate followers. Do you find that you can truly feel the love relationship between you and the divine throughout the day? That is the goal is it not? Bhaj - to be attached to God?

Yes i do feel that relationship to the divine all day every day he guides me in sultle ways, and yes beloved that is indeed the goal of bhakti-yoga, we as devotees are very passionate but in service to krsna only, in all other things detachment is the key(inaction within action).:)

Inaction? Could you go into that more? I'm not sure I understand. For Asatruar, action is the foundation of our religious life.

for vendantic religions also karma or action (which is the real meaning of the word) is fundamental to its belief.

this inaction here refers to detachment (for the lack of a better word)- i.e do ones karma without worrying about the outcomes. the western view is to call that inaction within the action.
