Kti is Durga, there are nine forms of Durga, so it is said in 'Ramacharitmanas' or other texts too; Just as in 'Bhagavataji', nine types of devotion are described by saying, 'Sravanam Kirtana Vishno: Smaranam', but the nine types of devotion of 'Manas' are also Navadurga. Even if we do any one of those nine types of devotion, we are worshipers of Durga. What can be said if Navenav Bhakti comes? So nine types of devotion are Navadurga. First Bhagati Santhanh Kar Sanga. Doosari Rati Mum Katha Katha. If you and I enjoy the company of a saint, then we are worshipers of Durga. So who is the saint? Lao Tzu said, I have three treasures; If you see these three treasures with a great man, consider him a saint, consider him a Buddha. Love is a treasure. There are many forms of love. This Durga is love. If this happens in our life, nothing is left to do. Love is the attribute of a saint. Second, he who does not overdo anything is a saint. The third thing Lao Tzu said is that you should be silent as much as possible, that is a treasure. Silence is a great capital of the seeker. Will not speak without reason. These are the three treasure saints. Gur Pad Pankaj Seva Tisari Bhagati Aman. Chauthi bhagati mum gun gun karai kapat tji gan. Service to the Guru who is our Guru, from whom we have received light, from whom we have received grace, is the third bhakti Durga. Serve them according to their nature. Prabhu said to Shabriji, the fourth bhakti should give up deceit and sing my praises. There should be no guile behind praise. Mantra jaap mum drudha biswasa. Pancham Bhajan So Bed Prakasa. The fifth bhakti is to firmly accept the mantra given by the Guru and chant it. Mantra means thought. If you get an auspicious thought from a Buddha and live faithfully according to that thought, that is the fifth bhakti. I keep giving an idea of 'Ramcharitmanas' that if the work is done according to your wish, then Harikrpa and if the work is not according to your wish, then Hariichcha. This thought is a mantra. As my pulpit says, worship, feed. Don't condemn, diagnose, is the mantra. Chhath Dum Seal Birti Bahu Karma. Nirat Nirantan Sajjan Dharma. Sixth Bhakti Sheel along with breath; Repression alone is perversion, repression alone is violence. Sīlāyukta control, Sīlāyukta self-control over oneself is the sixth bhakti. Reduce the activity a little after reaching a certain age. The sixth Durgabhakti is the conscious gradual transition from overactivity to retirement. Seventh Sat Mohi Mayan Jag Dekha. Mote Sant Adhik Kari Lekha. Seventh Bhakti-Durga, see me in all so that raga-dwesha is eliminated and consider my saint greater than me. Eighth Jatha Labha Santosha. I didn't see it in my dream. The Eighth Bhakti The eighth bhakti is to be satisfied with the fruit that one gets after putting in all the effort and effort. And don't see anyone's fault even in dreams. Navam Saral Sub Sun Chalhaina. Mum Bharos Hiyan Harsh Na Dina. Ninth Bhakti Speech is simple, conduct is simple, diet is simple, dress is simple, pace of life is simple. Have firm trust in God that whatever happens, I will be happy and not mourn, the ninth devotion. So these nine types of devotion are also devotional Durga. } (Compilation : Nitin Vadgama)
