Uttamā-bhakti is Rūpa Gosvāmī’s technical term for devotion of the highest order, defined in Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.1.11 as the favourable and sustained cultivation of service to Kṛṇa, free of ulterior desire and uncovered by jñāna, karma and related pursuits. Pages here treat that definition and what it does and does not exclude.
