Question, is there any difference between nishkama bhakti and shuddha bhakti? Answer, yes. Nishkama simply means that there is no material kamana, no material desire, so that does not necessarily mean that there is a desire to please Krishna, shuddha bhakti means as Rupa Goswami defines, pure devotion means that it is performed with the intention of pleasing Krishna, so in contrast with that nishkama bhakti can be the bhakti where one understands that material desires will lead to bondage, and therefore one decides I will not engage in the material desires, I will not entertain the material desires, but still one may have a somewhat less selfish desire, but still one may have the desire for liberation, that is not considered to be material kamana, but still it’s a kamana, and because it is still considered to be a kamana, that’s why that is also a source of bondage, so when the jnanis perform bhakti, often there bhakti may be nishkama, but there will not be shuddha, whereas when the pure devotees perform bhakti, that will be shuddha bhakti.
