Five potent forms of Devotional Service
(Poetic description of the superlative Potency of each for quickly evoking bhäva even in neophyte) 1 2
Deity Serving
Hearing Çrémad-Bhägavatam
“If you have a desire to enjoy don’t go on bank of Keçéghäöa……….”
“Foolish friend heard SB & will deride 4 goals of life”
Indirectly poetically telling us to see form of Kåñëa
Indifference is hallmark of bhäva bhakti
Again indirectly derides 4 pillars dharma, artha… including liberation
This is ‘Mokña laghutakrta’ (3rd of the 6 characteristics of PDS, seen in bhäva stage)
Therefore this item leads to ‘Bhäva’ (Viraktiù)
Will lead to indifference from material world
Mokña laghutakrta is deriding of liberation a symptom of bhäva

Associating with advanced devotees
Hari-näma saìkértana
“Since seen Kåñëa there is tears, shivering…. Seeing him I can’t remain at home”
“Närada Muni singing glories of Kåñëa accompanied by vina strings entering my heart and I am bereft of all attachment……”
Advanced devotee cries, shivers
Symptom of bhäva is virakti, indifference to material life
Hearing Närada Muni`s Kértana causes “bereft of all attachment for material enjoyment”….. (a symptom of Bhäva)
samutkaëöhä (intense eagerness)
Avyartha-kälatvam (not a moment wasted)
Viraktiù (indifference)

Living in Mathurä
Çréla Prabhupäda’s expertise
“I remember the Lord in Yamunä… birds chirping…. giving me bliss”
SP built ISKCON on these 5 Pillars 1
1. Lavish deity worship
Simply remembering Vrindavan can quickly evoke bhäva what to speak of actually residing.
2. Daily Çrémad-Bhägavatam class
3. Association of devotees
4. Näma saìkértan morning and evening
Mental realization of one’s svarupa siddhi
5. Yearly festivals in Mäyäpur and Våndävana
Realization of Svarüpa-siddhi occurs in Bhäva stage 2
Thus ISKCON is most potent for evoking Bhäva bhakti
