For Sri Krishna, the practice of bhakti is not limited to sitting in front of an altar or going to a sacred temple. Bhakti should be practiced throughout the day, while engaged in ordinary activities. How? By consistently acting in accordance with Ishvara's will, Ishvara's intelligent order that governs the universe, by following the path of dharma.
