SHRI GOKULESHO JAYATI BHAKTI, turnes out to be of two types. The 1.) Saadhanroopa ,& 2.) Saadhyaroopa. Pushtimarga's renowned poet Dayarambhai of gujarat describes the meaning of bhakti in his pada, explaining that this two types of bhakti is distributed further into ten types. The first bhakti saadhanroopa, also called as the Navadha bhakti, is of 9 types and the tenth one comes from Saadhyaroopa, also called as premlakshana bhakti.

Let me discuss the nine bhakti's, they are the first "Shravan"-to hear the katha-varta. Then second one is "kirtan"-to sing the idols of shri thakurji and shri gurudev. Third type of bhakti is "Smaran" -the thakurji's leela to be recited in heart. the fourth one is "Paadsevan"-seva of shricharan. "Archan" is the fifth type. The sixth is "Vandan"-bow the head with love. Next comes the "daasatva"- means be the das-sevak and perform services. Eight is "Sakhyata"- freindly relation done by Vrajbhakt. Nineth is the Aatmanivedan- dedication for shri thakurji. This nine types follows for the Saadhanroop Bhakti, but above all comes the tenth one Called Saadhyaroopa-premlakshana bhakti is prembhakti, which is loved by Shri Thakurji.

Jai Shree Krsna Gopalbhai You r right its the NAVDHA BHAKTI which Prahlad had explained to his father Hirnakashyap, when Prahlad was sent to the Asur gurukul n when Hirnakashyap asks what he learnt thats the time he explains to him the NAVDHA BHAKTI to him. Its in the Bhagvat. Yogini Yogini

SHRI GOKULESHO JAYATI Further in this context, i would like to quote the more of Bhakti.Yesterday night i was refering the pustakas. I found more clarifications in context of Bhakti. The tenth Bhakti-premlakshana Bhakti further departs into four types. 1. PUSHTI-PUSHTI-devotion caused by a complex condition of grace and blessed devotion. 2. MISHRA-PUSHTI-devotion caused by a complex condition of graces and described in skandhas of Bhagwatji. 3. PRAVAHI-PUSHTI-devotion caused due to complex condition of grace and a current of activities. 4. SHUDHA-PUSHTI-devotion caused by a Simple Condition of His(Lords) Supreme Grace. Not found everywhere. Very merely seen. gopalmeta1@yahoo.com

JAYSHRIKRISHNA Vasihnavs, My understanding on bhakti is : In pistibhakti when our gurudev SHRI MAHAPRABHUJI gives us BRAHMSAMBANDH dan it is ATMANIVEDAN Bhakti. AS per the saying pustimarg starts with atmanivedan. and as we get aghna to do seva all other / remaining 8 sadhanroopa bhakti is achived. Next comes premlaxanabhakti which blooms with Gurukrupa,GOD's grace & Seva. Also, all the forms of bhakti that Shri Vasantbhai explained are only achived by GURU KRUPA & TANUJA SEVA. please correct me if I am wrong. Bindi bindi
