Nine Types of Bhakti - As explained by Bhakdha Prahlad

When hiranyakashipu ask his son Prahlad about the things that he has learnt in the Patashala [School in Olden days], he informed that he has learnt "Nine Types of Bhakti" and explained the following :   

  • Sravanam - Need to listen more about GOD 
  • Kirtanam - Need to sing about GOD 
  • Maranam - Need to Think about GOD with purity in mind.
  • Pathasevanam - Need to fall in the lotus feet of GOD and perform seva. 
  • Archanam - Need to perform Archana using good flowers. 
  • Vandhanam - Need to do Namaskara to the GOD. 
  • Dhasyam - Need to perform seva to the GOD. 
  • Atma Nivedham - Need to realise that our atma belongs to GOD and dedicate to HIM. 
  • Sakyam - Needs to show friendliness towards GOD. 

One who performs all the above will make GOD happy.Hiranyakashipu asked Prahlad who has taught all these. He informed that it was taught by Acharyas [ But in reality he meant Narathar]. On hearing this hiranyakashipu turned towards Acharyas and warned them to teach properly and bring back in one week. 



During that one week, Prahlad started giving lecture about the importance of knowing about GOD to all the students in the Patashala. Inwhich he has explained to all that we have only 100 years which is split as follows. 

  • 50 Years - Sleep in Night 
  • 35 years - Sleep in Day also 
  • 15 years - Spent in Youth, Child, work, etc 

So, we have only less time, so please come and listen about GOD. He informs them to leave Asura attributes [ Not perfoming the duties informed by Vedas ]. 
When all the kids asked how Prahlad have such a good wisdom. Prahlad informed that he has acquired this wisdom when he in his mother's womb, Narathar give all this information.
