maan bhakti | मान​ भक्ति

Mana Bhakti (Devanagari: मान भक्ति; ISO 15919: māna bhakti) refers to the fourth level of Siddha Bhakti (perfected devotion).

Following the stage of Sneha (affection), this stage represents a height of intimacy where the devotee discards all formalities and reservations. In this state, the love is so deep that the devotee may even display "divine pique" or loving sulkiness towards God, confident that nothing can break their bond.
