- ভক্তি (bhakti, devoted loving worship, too specific to the Vaishnava devotional framework)
Faith
থাজবা (belief/trust) is preferred over ভক্তি because Manipuri Vaishnavism’s ভক্তি names a specific, well-developed devotional practice (as expressed in Ras Lila devotion to Krishna) rather than the personal, saving trust in Christ Romans describes. The object of faith must always be specified in context.
