Bhakthi:

Bhakthi: Reverent Adoration, (RRV-1), devotion (BV-36). Adoring the Supreme with the greatest possible Love is called Bhakthi, the (9) modes (path) of devotion. (RRV2-2):

1. Sravanam: listening to stories of the Lord's lilas or plays

 2. Kirtanam: chanting of God's glories

 3. Smaranam: remembering the presence of the Lord constantly

 4. Padasevanam: Pada means feet. Seva means service. This is when you get to blend your practice of karma yoga (seva) with bhakti. In doing your duty and serving humanity, develop the bhava that you are serving and worshiping the Lord's Feet.

 5. Archanam: Worship of God through rituals such as puja

 6. Vandanam: prostration. The yogi expresses his respect and love to god by prostrating physically to the ground thereby developing humility

 7. Dasyam: The devotee is developing the feeling of being the Lord's servant. This will weed out pride, selfishness, arrogance and egoism which are all based on avidya.

 8. Sakhyam: Feeling of friendship. This bhava helps the devotees establish a personal relationship with God picturing him as his best friend. One should be ready to do anything for their friend.

 9. Atmanivedanam: Complete surrender of self. The term bhakti is often translated as devotion or love but rarely as surrender. Actually surrender is the highest aspect of bhakti. One's ego is totally offered to the Lord and nothing but the atman remains and non duality is experienced.
