Kanishth Adhikari (कनिष्ठ अधिकारी)
Kanishth adhikari (कनिष्ठ अधिकारी | kaniṣṭha adhikārī) is a spiritual aspirant who possesses minimal detachment from worldly things and has little knowledge of the scriptures.
Consequently, has weak or unsteady faith in God. While such individuals are eligible to practice bhakti (devotion), the Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu categorizes them as the least qualified candidates for devotion, as this is not an ideal foundation for achieving the ultimate goal.
