Definition and Experiences of Bhava-bhakti
Questions:
If a karmi sees a picture of Radha Krsna and feels an emotion of joy, admiration, and appreciation of the picture, can this be called bhava-bhakti?
If a kanistha devotee who has faith in the supreme position of Krsna feels an emotion of joy love and appreciation when seeing the deities, can this be called bhava-bhakti?
Basically how can we define bhava-bhakti and can you experience it even when you have a mundane material consciousness?
More importantly how can a devotee transform his bhava-bhakti to suddha-bhakti?

They will be very soon jobless
They will be very soon jobless. Don’t worry. (laughs) They will come [to
join our farms]. They will be obliged to come. Now they have got job, but as
the days are advancing in Kali-yuga, they’ll be jobless.

Srila Prabhupada on TV: “London is hell”
Any country which does not get the full facility of sunshine, it is to be
considered condemned. I think I remarked this long ago, when I first came in
the television. They asked me in London that “What is your conception of
hell?” And “This is hell, London.” Not conception. Practically… Always
dark, moist, drizzly. No sunshine. Cloudy, misty. Simply big, big buildings.
That’s all. So there must be clear sunshine.

To thank Srila Prabhupada
You have asked how you can thank me. Whether you thank me or not, if you
understand the importance of this Krishna Consciousness Movement, that is my
success. The whole world is thinking in the bodily conception of life and
thus remaining like animals. The animals cannot be happy but people want to
keep themselves like animals. For peace they are barking in the United
Nations. Croaking toads who think they are making a big conference, and then
one day the snake of death comes and swallows them up.
