About the two types of bhakti: vaidhi-bhakti and raganuga-bhakti.
About the different types of vaidhi-bhakti.
About the five limbs of bhakti: always associate with a sadhu; always chant the Holy Names; always hear or read about Srimad Bhagavatam; always live in Vraja Mandala or Mathura Mandala; and; worship the Deity with firm faith.
Always associate with devotees who are of the same mood as you, same type of nature.
Srimad Bhagavatam was recited by Sukadeva Gosvami. He who drank the nectar directly from the lotus lips of Srimati Radhika and that is why he is so sweet.
Those who are bhavuka-rasika-vaisnavas can taste the transcendental mellows of Radha Krsna’s pastimes.
The most important thing is to have nistha (firm faith), guru-nistha and nama-nistha.
The importance of chanting the Holy Names aloud, not mentally.
