So many topics are being discussed on various aspects related to Bhakti. 
But what is Bhakti ? And what all are deemed to be constituents of Bhakti ? How is it different from Shraddhaa which it is normally paired with ?
These issues have to be addressed first. Then come the other issues. Who all can do or have Bhakti ? And when can it be done ? How should it be done ?
The virtues of -
1. devotion   2. loyalty  3. ultimate faith  4. loyalty  5. sense of belonging  6. piety   7. worship  8. subservient nature 9. respect  10. God-fearing nature etc.
should constitute and define what Bhakti is.
Shraddha in short, is the discipline with which Bhakti can be expressed or performed. Methodical, meticulous, progressive, rigorous, procedural conformation, attentiveness, etc are some of the related words.
