According to Tulsi Das, there are nine kinds of Bhakti, through which one can attain the grace of God.

1. Cultivation of the company of holy men.
2. Deep interest in stories about the Lila of the Lord.
3. Service with humility, to the feet of the Lord.
4. Singing the glory of God spontaneously.
5. Repitition on of the Lord’s name and firm faith in him.
6. Practice of self-control fostering the spirit of renunciation and craving the virtuous life.
7. To regard the whole world as permeated by God and to respect the spirit of renunciation and craving for a virtuous life.
8. Contentment with whatever one gets and not finding fault with others.
9. Dependence on the Lord, simplicity, freedom from all wiles, no elation and no depression.

God’s grace can be achieved by following any one of these forms of Bhakti.
