Are you trying hard to achieve samadhi?
Just meditate, fampais, and you'll achieve it.
Here's a few reminders:
-Deities of the present are demons of the past.
-Demons of the present are deities of the past.
-Only the techniques remain true.
-Therefore instead of chanting mantras and worshipping like a bakhta, you should focus on meditation.
Deities come and go, but truth remains, remember that these are mythos to tell you the story of how to achieve self-realization yourself, focus on this instead of on the worship and remember to not to accept names for god, because as societies have progressed demons have become gods and gods have become demons. Your only certainty is in the technique.
I've already attained samadhi, but will do more spiritual practice to burn karmas, don't want to end up being born again because of some bad choices.

What the fuck is a salamhi?

A salami is an italian stuffed meat that is quite delicious.
A samadhi is union with god or self realization.

Samadhi.
I want to do more spiritual practice, but it is to fix more errors, with samadhi I know I will not be born again.

Did you want to talk a bit on meditation within bhakti-yoga, or are you content with feeling superior to a strawman?

What I've never understood is why people think meditation needs to stop. A time of day for intense sit-down-and-center certainly, but meditation does not require the body to be inactive. If it did this requirement would disprove the nonattachment to the body and defeat the purpose. Meditation is intense awareness, focus. Focus on the act of focusing. Shall we stop our focus just because we're eating, or performing our social duties, or engaging socially? A gangster churchgoer is one who spends an hour or two absolving sins and the rest of the time piling them up, thinking the special time makes up for it. To meditate for an hour then traipse off back into the world of ego is the same essential thing: my meditation is "done," let me go try to enjoy this ephemeral awareness again.
It's like when people describe to me "briefly" experiencing Oneness - and perhaps a Monist can explain it to me - my thought is always "what compelled you to return from this "brief" experience of eternal One?"

Thoughts on kriya yoga? Yogananda's teachings?

Demons are only personifications of the fear of realizing the ego as an imaginary construction and achieving nirvana or the cessation of negative emotions.

Continually concentrating on the mind itself- thoughts, consciousness between thoughts and emotions arising from thoughts- is what I like to do.

This. When life itself becomes your meditation, then you might be on to something.
