There are some yogis who have literally starved themselves to death, and we might hear to siddha yogis who cut off their own head to offer to Divine, or some priest who burns himself alive...

Very nice write up!

I agree with the sages, there is nothing necessarily wrong with Bhakti and devotion that is tainted a bit with hopes of something "in return".

However, typically...

I will be VERY careful with what I am about to say, honestly I do not mean to offend any Vaishnav Brahmin sect. But I did do an honest, open minded and scholarly "deep dive" into this matter.
