Are there any examples of yoga-mishra bhaktas becoming kevala bhaktas?

Question are there any examples of yoga mishra bhaktas becoming kevala bhaktas, shuddha bhaktas and attaining the lord just as we have examples of gyan mishra bhaktas becoming pure devotees answer we see yoga mishra bhakti repeatedly in the bhagavatam in the way many of the kings when they have to depart they start doing austerities for example it is described the pandavas or even pruthu maharaj pruthu maharaj of course at the end he goes back to the lord but what happens is he sits down performing austerity and he basically decides that he withdraws the gross elements and subtle elements into inwards so what is this we wonder if they are pure devotees why are they doing this particular kind of sadhana so the point in the bhagavatam is that devotees who appear in particular times at particular ages they do not defy the social conventions of their times that’s why we will not see although harinams and kirtan is an eternal principle we don’t see the pandavas dancing in kirtan or pruthu maharaj doing anything like that because generally speaking every devotee who appears demonstrates the principles that are meant for that particular time so in general at that time this was kaliyuga had not yet started so this normal standard for the kshatriyas was that they live throughout their life and then as kshatriya kings and then towards the end of their life they leave the kingdom, go to the forest and they perform severe austerities over there and then they leave the body so the bhagavatam demonstrates that example and the kshatriya kings no matter how exalted devotees they may be they also demonstrate this so all the examples in the bhagavatam which talk about devotees doing yoga sadhana they are not exactly example of yogamishra bhakti because in the case of pruthu maharaj yudhishthira maharaj they are pure devotees but they are following social conventions which involve doing austerity, yogic austerity towards the last stage of life A. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has written a book called Prema Pradeep in which he describes how a seeker comes to a vaishnavacharya so the seeker is a follower of brahma samaj and the seeker has been sent by the authorities of brahma samaj to say that these gaudiya vaishnavas they have very sweet music and kirtans so you go, penetrate into their ranks and learn their music and kirtans and come back and we will then present our brahma philosophy with the music and kirtans so when he goes there their idea is that all these gaudiya vaishnavas are very sentimental and not very intelligent people but then at that time also he has some respect for the yogis there he meets a yogidas babaji and this yogi is quite austere disciplined and this seeker who goes to him has a lot of respect for him and then this yogidas babaji says, I will introduce you to my guru and his guru is a gaudiya vaishnava and then he is surprised he says, such an austere yogi why have you accepted such a person as a guru? he is very exalted and then the seeker, the yogi and the shuddha bhakta, they have a discussion so there he describes that the gaudiya vaishnava acharya describes that actually yoga sadhana can be used for controlling the mind but sometimes yoga sadhana, when it is used for controlling the mind creates a sense of doership, I have controlled the mind and that sense of doership becomes an obstacle in surrendering to Krishna so initially this yogi accepted that my guru is very exalted but he was thinking that I, as compared to other seekers at my level I am better than other vaishnavas because I am doing yoga sadhana but when he hears of the guru, he understands that if one can achieve sense control just by the practice of bhakti without needing yoga that is higher and somebody practices yoga, of course it is coming to bhakti so that is good so that is one example which Bhaktanath Thakur has given of a person who is a yoga mishra bhakta and it is clearly mentioned that in the hierarchy, yoga mishra bhakta is lower then the person who is of course not only a keval bhakta but also one who is a keval bhakti sadhaka aspiring pure devotee potential pure devotee so directly in scripture at least we will find examples of devotees who do yoga sadhana for coming towards Krishna but explicitly somebody from yoga mishra bhakti coming towards shuddha bhakti, there is no direct example in the bhagavatam, but then bhagavatam has verses which does say that dhana vastu tatkatena manasa pashyantyam yogino, towards the end of the bhagavatam it says that by dhyan ultimately one has to come to meditating on the supreme lord so the bhagavatam gives the philosophical principles quite clearly about that even third canto also says that yogis ultimately have to see me inside the lord kapiladeva also says that so how by the path of yoga one comes to the conclusion of bhakti, kapiladeva also performs austerities that way in one sense there are many examples in the bhagavatam of seekers of devotees who do yoga and then they demonstrate the principles of devotion, so the idea of the bhagavatam is that devotion is the culmination of yoga also and that is what is demonstrated.
