Sabari prayed to Sri Rama to tell her 

about the nine paths, and Sri Rama responded:

Sravanam (Listening to stories of God),

Kirtanam (Singing Name of the Lord),

Vishnohsmaranam (Remembering God),

Padasevanam (Serving the Feet of the Lord),

Vandanam (Reverence toward nature and all life),

Archanam (Ritual Worship),

Dasyam (Path of dedication and surrender),

Sneham (Befriending),

Atmanivedanam (Path of surrender).

If the devotee sincerely practises any one of these paths, 

he can attain Me. I am bound by these nine forms of Bhakthi.
