Nine Ways to Please Bhagavan Sri Krishna

ways to please Bhagavan Sri Krishna (Maha-Vishnu) :

sravanam kirtanam visnoh
smaranam pada-sevanam
arcanam vandanam dasyam
sakhyam atma-nivedanam
iti pumsarpita visnau
bhaktis cen nava-laksana
kriyeta bhagavaty addha
tan manye 'dhitam uttamam

( Hearing and chanting about the transcendental holy name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and pastimes of Bhagavan Vishnu , remembering them, serving the lotus feet of the Bhagavan, offering the Bhagavan respectful worship with sixteen types of paraphernalia, offering prayers to the Bhagavan , becoming His servant, considering the Bhagavan one's best friend, and surrendering everything unto Him (in other words, serving Him with the body, mind and words) -- these nine processes are accepted as pure Bhakti-yoga (Devotional service) .

One who has dedicated his life to the service of Bhagavan through these nine methods should be understood to be the most learned person, for he has acquired complete spiritual knowledge.)

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!!!
