120. What is Bhakti Yoga?

There are many types of Yoga Systems, the Yoga System described and recommended in the Bhagavad-Gita is Bhakti Yoga. This means to link with Krishna (God) or devotional service unto God:
Become pure hearted. This can be accomplished by developing all the good qualities that are described in question 75.
Offer all foods that you cook first to Krishna then you can eat them (parsadam). Krishna will not accept meat, fish, eggs, onions, and garlic. The food must also be freshly cooked (less than 3 hours).
Chant the maha mantra:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,

Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare,

Hare Rama, Hare Rama,

Rama Rama, Hare Hare
Offer flowers and Tulsi leaves to Krishna daily. This requires planting of flower bearing (especially roses) and Tulsi plants in your gardens.
Perform deity worship of Radha and Krishna daily.
Engage in some service at your local temple.
Read the Vedic scriptures, especially the Bhagavad-Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.
Preach all the above to others. Preaching is the highest devotional service unto Lord Krishna.

The above devotional service activities should be performed according to your capacity and ability, but do as much as you can and the result will be that this will be your last miserable material life. At death, you (the soul) will be immediately transferred to the spiritual creation, where you will live in the same beautiful body eternally on the same planet as Lord Narayan, an expansion of Lord Krishna, or on the planet of Lord Krishna himself.
“The great souls bow down to me [Krishna], worship me, and always chant my names and glories, with determination and devotion.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.14)
“Just become my devotee, always think of me, bow down to me, and worship me. Then you will come to me, without fail. I promise you this, as you are very dear to me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.65)
“If one who is devoted to me, teaches this supreme secret to other devotees, he shall be performing the highest devotional service unto me, and he will certainly come back to me. There is no other servant on Earth, who is more dear to me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 18.68-69)

A Bhakti Yogi is one who has given up desires for material possessions and all his activities are done only for the satisfaction of the supreme (Linked to the Supreme).
