Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Dear All! I am sharing this lovely verse from Srimad Bhagvatam ... sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam arcanam vandanam dasyam sakhyam atma-nivedanam iti pumsarpita visnau bhakta cen nava-laksana kriyeta bhagavaty addha tan manye dhitam uttamam Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of the lord vishnu , remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Lord, offering the Lord respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Lord, becoming the servant, considering the Lord one's best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words)—these nine processes are accepted as pure devotional service. One who has dedicated his life to the serviee of the lord a tbrough these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete knowledge. srimad bhagvatam ********************************************************************** Now, i invite all members here (young and old, new and old, vedantins and neo vedantis etc etc etc) to comment on this verse in the light of Vedantic teachings ...
