# Live Connection

> *“Devotional service, or direct* bhakti-yoga*, is the only absolute and auspicious means of deliverance from the grip of material existence. There are many indirect methods for deliverance from the clutches of material existence, but none of them is as easy and auspicious as* bhakti-yoga*. The means of jnana and yoga and other allied disciplines are not independent in delivering a performer. Such activities help one to reach the stage of* bhakti-yoga *after many, many years.”* ([SB 2.2.33](https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/2/2/33/))
