“These activities are called Å›uddha-bhakti, pure devotional service. If one renders such pure devotional service, he develops his original love for Kṛṣṇa in due course of time. In Vedic literatures like the PañcarÄtras and ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam, these symptoms are described.
One has to develop his devotional service under the directions of a pure devotee, the spiritual master, and in accordance with the Vedic directions given in the PañcarÄtra and BhÄgavata systems. The PañcarÄtra system includes methods of temple worship, and the BhÄgavata system includes the spreading of Kṛṣṇa conscious philosophy through the recitation of ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam and the discussion of philosophy with people who are interested. Through discussion, one can create an interest and understanding of the PañcarÄtra and BhÄgavata systems.
