Away from all rites and ritules, or bookish knowledge, or the knowledge that you have gained from others, or your parents, or your religion etc... anywhere,
Honestly, Only just using your Heart,
What do you think what is bhakti (Devotion) ?

True Bhakti is surrender to God BUT I disagree with you when you said "away from all rites and rituals, bookish knowledge, etc. etc."
The knowledge you gain FROM these books, parents, and rituals increases your bhakti 100x.

it is the love towards god. and one more imp thing that i believe, loving the lord is possible only through god's grace.

I have also heard, " Pyaar kiya nahin jata ho jata hai "
English: " Love is not the thing to do, it just appears "

Namaste,
The thing what i was trying to say was, an opportunity to read the leelas and the heart to feel it was blessed by the lord. I can't claim that i am a bhakta, but i feel he has given me such a privilege that i can revel in his thoughts.
Let me quote an instance here: In the Bhagavad Geeta, Vishvaroopa darshana chapter, bhagavan says- look arjuna these enemies are already killed by me. Weather you fight or not, they will die for sure. You are only a nimitta. So fight!
And also he says-the person who is blinded by ignorance claims that he has done this he has done that.
So it is wise to admit that it is only by the grace of god that we are able to enjoy his company.

Namaste KD Gupta !!
I cannot quote any verses from the VEDAS OR UPANISHAADS that says one should have MURTIs in templse ect ect...... BUT What has that got to do with BHAKTI which we are discussing on this thread ?
So , what is your PERSONAL definition of Bhakti.... What is your personal take on devotion ...

Namaste jaswantji
There is no imagination of the form of god and that is the vishvadarshanroop .
you will find in veda the offerings as somras etc indicating the human form is prayed , also for rudra to come in the form of human , laxmi being the wife of vishnu and many devas having wives etc etc.
This was simplified in sri bhagvatam to worship in human form and lastly in pindi or lingam form as a symbolic puja.
After this nine methods were described for puja or upasana for the concentration as the first step as parabhakti to finally achieve the dhyanyog or meditation leading to ananyabhakti .
Sri Bhagavaan Uvaacha:
Mayyaaveshya mano ye maam nityayuktaa upaasate;
Shraddhayaa parayopetaaste me yuktatamaa mataah.
The Blessed Lord said:
Those who, fixing their minds on Me, worship Me, ever steadfast and endowed with
supreme faith, these are the best in Yoga in My opinion...2/12 gita
