Dear Sri vishnu,

              devotional service is called bhakthi in
sanskrit.all activities reg.mind,body and soul done
with pure devotionwhich are connected with the supreme
Person( Perumal)  alone is called  devotional
service.In the scriptures it is said there are nine
kinds of devotional service.they are sravanam,
kirtanam,smaranam or remembering,vandhanam or paying
obeisances,padhasevanam,  Dasyam, worshiping,treating
as a friend, and Atma nevadhanam.

Sravanam--- Parikshit Maharaj
Kirtanam --- Sukha dev goswami
Smaranam --- Bhaktha Prahlad
Vandanam ---  Akrura
Padhasevanam --- Lakshmiji  always doing service to
Maha vishnu
Worshipping ----Prithu Maharaj
Dasyam -----  Hanuman
Worshipping ----   Prithu Maharaj
Treating as a friend ---Arjuna
Atma Nivedhanam  ----Bali Maharaj

Above said Personalities are example for pure
devottees. And also Ambarisha Maharaj was always doing
bhakthi with all his senses , mind and soul.Yes i
admit i read bhagwath gita as it is .I heard Pillai
Lokachariar  also had  given nine sambhanda reg.
devotional service .I am trying to get that.If  any
one know that please let me know that.
