आगमे विश्वासटिप्पन्यः

The third of the five modes of devotion
to the Supreme Being that were most
prominently expressed by Rupa Goswami.
Rupa used different types of human
relationships as models for the possible relationships between deity and
devotee (bhakta). These five models
increased in emotional intensity from
the peaceful (shanta) sense that comes
from realizing one’s complete identity
with Brahman, or Supreme Reality, to
conceiving of God as one’s master,
friend, child, or lover. In the sakha
bhava, devotees consider themselves
as God’s friends and companions and
thus as taking part in his regular, everyday activities.
