Navadhaa Bhakti

Bhakti means devotion especially to one's personal Bhagvaan (Isht Dev). A devotee believes that enlightenment follows Bhakti, butnot the other way round. Bhakti consists of love and trust. It is not a new phenomenon in Hindu religion, it is as old as Ved.

There are nine types of Bhakti told by Shree Raam to Shabaree in Raamaayan, Aranya Kaand.
(1) Satsang (company of good people). 
(2) Interest in hearing my Kathaa. 
(3) Serving Guru's feet without any pride. 
(4) To sing my qualities without cheating. 
(5) To do Jaap of my Mantra and strong faith in me - This is famous in Ved. 
(6) Control on Indriyaan, good nature and character, Vairaagya from Karm and following saints' behavior. 
(7) To see me in the whole world and regard saints more than me. 
(8) To be contented whatever is available and not seeing others faults even in dream. 
(9) Plainness and behaving well with everybody without cheating, having trust in me and feeling neither happiness nor sadness in any situation.

In Bhaagvat it is described like this - relationship to personal Bhagvaan with nine types of feelings: 
(1) Daasya Bhaav - that of a servant to his master, as that of Hanumaan to Raam; 
(2) Pitra Bhaav - that of a child to his parents, as that of Prahalaad to Naaraayan; 
(3) Baalya Bhaav - that of a parent to child, as that of Yashodaa Jee to Shree Krishn, or Kaushalyaa to Raam
