There is yet another type of devotion, which is free from even
this tinge of selfishness. It is [the highest kind of] keval
bhakti, [the highest kind of] non-attributional devotion.
Here the devotee says, I serve Him, I worship Him, because I want
Him to get bliss from my devotion or service or worship. I
dont want anything for myself. I want Him to enjoy the bliss.
This type of devotion is called rgtmik bhakti, and the type
of devotee having this sort of non-attributional devotion is
called a gopa/gopii.
Actually, Gopyate yah sa gopah in Sanskrit, the word
gopyate means to give pleasure A gopa is one who gives
pleasure to Parama Purusa, one whose very nature is to give
pleasure to Parama Purusa.

possibility to forget my little personal drama (I was ill) trough selfless work, and

Campeche
Thanks to the help of sister
Iishvarii, we managed to
organize a social service
activity at the Center for
Women and kids brutally
abused located in the
surroundings of Campeche.
At the Center several women
with their kids live for the
first 3 months after leaving
their house. The women are
emotionally proved and
with their kids live in fear
of being kidnapped or killed
by their husbands or by the
clans their husbands work
for. We went with
Cetana (who did a really
nice activity class with
warm up, games, yoga
postures etc) and Iishvarii:
now there are weekly yoga
classes and extra support
for the women of the
center.
Today we went back to do
service to the Center of Women
and Kids brutally abused and
was the birthday of one of the
girls. We had a cake and sing
Las Maanitas (Happy
Birthday) all together. She was
smiling a lot, at the end all of us
were playing, full of candies!!
Leo (the kid of one of the woman
living there) is very aectionate
and intelligent, he did all the
class with us perfectly. Right
now he is going through a
dicult time, because he was
diagnose with a cyst on his
testicle and he will have to be
operated soon. Hopefully
everything will be ne.
