I go to a Shiva temple daily after returning from Mahakal Ujjain. I took a sankalp to visit him for 43 days. There is a certain job I really want, and I initially started going because I was feeling very anxious about it.

For the first 3–4 days, I asked for it regularly.

Now, I don’t feel like asking anymore. I just go, do the jal abhishek, apply chandan teeka, and sit there talking, almost like I’m hanging out with a friend. Sometimes when the shivling is all decorated i even compliment him. I come back home feeling peaceful and happy.

Am I doing this wrong? I just want to know—does this still count as bhakti or not?
