what is so difficult in vandanam.

Srimad Bhagavatham says, not sure, in which chapter,

This nine types of devotion are
             Shravana, Kirtana, Smarana, Padasevena,
             Archana, Vandana, Dasya, Sakhyam, Atmanivedanam

             shravana - parIxit
             kIrtana - Shuka maharshhi
             smaraNa - Prahlada
             pAdasevana - Laxmi
             archana - pR^ithu (king)
             vandana - akrUra
             dAsya - Hanuman
             sakhya - Arjuna
             Atmanivedana - Bali

We all know the story of all these Bhaghavathas & how they worshiped Sri
Hari.  Practically, in Kaliyuga,  the only way possible to be devoted to Sri
Hari is only by becoming a dAsa.

There are many songs sung by Sri Purandara dAsaru & other HaridAsa koota who
have sung on this Navavidha Bhakthi.

dAsanna mAdiko yenna, swami,
