Swamin, Bhakti, as a tool of worship is embodied in our azhwars and acharyas. Take this pasuram, Pachai ma malai pol meni, pavazhya vaai kamala chen kann ..... Ichvai thavira yaan poi indira lokam aalum, ahchuvai perinum venden. That is the level to which our ahzhwars loved the emperuman. Dasan/raghavan vedavalli ranganathan <vedaranga@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Dear Sri Vishnu, As for as i understand, Devotion is called Bhakthi.Actions that are done with pure bhakthi, which are connected With the Supreme Person alone, is called devotional service. Yes , we have to cultivate or practice pure bhakthi., Bhakthi is always there within our heart. Due to our Karmas, and material desires,and because of Maya we dont develop our bhakthi.And for Pure devotion we should have surrendering mentality to Him and receive His mercy also. If we take one step towards Him He will take two steps towards us.That is Perumal's Greatness. Without His mercy it is difficult to advance.From reading your postings i understand you are a knowledgable person. I think you are teasing me with your questions. I am answering you with my limited knowledge.
