navadha bhagati kahaun tohi paheen savadhan sunu dharu man maheen
pratham bhagati santanha kar sanga doosari rati mam katha prasanga
नवधा भगति कहउँ तोहि पाहीं। सावधान सुनु धरु मन माहीं।।

I will now tell you about the nine forms of devotion; listen carefully and keep them in your heart. The first is the company of good and saintly people. The second is love for hearing my stories.
What it means
Rama begins his famous 'nine kinds of devotion' with something simple: spend time with good people, and enjoy hearing about the Divine. The company we keep and what we listen to quietly shape who we become.How it helps in real life
- With friends: Your weekend crowd only complains about bosses and drinks till 3am. Spend one Saturday this month with a friend who leaves you calmer.
- Phone & habits: Your commute playlist is all outrage podcasts. Swap one for a Ramayana or Gita story episode this week and notice your mood.
हिंदी में अर्थ
मैं तुम्हें नौ प्रकार की भक्ति बताता हूँ, ध्यान से सुनो और मन में रखो। पहली भक्ति है संतों का संग, और दूसरी है मेरी कथाओं में प्रेम।
राम नवधा भक्ति की शुरुआत बहुत सरल बात से करते हैं: अच्छे लोगों का साथ और भगवान की कथा में रुचि। हम किसके साथ रहते हैं और क्या सुनते हैं, वही हमें गढ़ता है।
Spoken by Rama.
