Hare Krishna dear devotees

"mat-karma-krn mat-paramo

mad-bhaktah sanga-varjitah

nirvairah sarvo-bhutesu

yah sa mam eti pandava"

explanation in pg 592. very well explained by dear Srila Praphupada

"As indicated by the word mad-bhaktah, he(one who) fully engages in devotional service,specifically in the nine processes of devotional engagement: hearing, chanting, remembering, worshiping, serving the lotus feet of the Lord,offering prayers,carrying out the orders of the Lord,making friends with Him, and surrendering everything to Him,. One can engage in all nine devotional processes, or eight , or seven, or at least one, and that will surely make one perfect. "

    Hare Krsna,

    Yes, these are the 9 devotional processes mentioned by his divine grace, A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in several books.

    Thank you for reminding us of them. They are very important.

    Haribol,

      For kids ,out of these 9 processes, which one is the next best to hearing.I understand that telling Krishna stories is the best. I have a 6 yr old daughter and if I repeat the same story, she says I have already heard this and demands for new one. And then she would ask "then why Krishna doesn't come in front of us in his real form". I tried to make her chant in the beads, but for her being restless,can't finish at one short.
      So I broke the mala,( I hope it's not an offense) and made 54 beads mala so she can chant 1 round with beads in the morning and 1 round in the evening.
      Anyways for kids which one is the best as suggested by acharyas?

      Please advise
      Jai shree goulash
