Sakhya

Aum Sairam

Sakhya-Bhava is the cultivation of the friend-sentiment with God. The
inmates of the family of Nandagopa cultivated this Bhakti. Arjuna
cultivated this kind of Bhakti towards Lord Krishna.

To be always with the Lord, to treat Him as one's own dear relative or
a friend belonging to one's own family, to be in His company at all
times, to love Him as one's own self, is Sakhya-Bhava of Bhakti-Marga.
How do friends, real friends, love in this world? What an amount of
love they possess between one another? Such a love is developed towards
God instead of towards man; physical love turned into spiritual love.
There is a transformation of the mundane into the Eternal.
