Swamin,
Bhakti, as a tool of worship is embodied in our azhwars and acharyas.
Take this pasuram,
Pachai ma malai pol meni, pavazhya vaai kamala chen kann
.....
Ichvai thavira yaan poi indira lokam aalum, ahchuvai perinum venden.
That is the level to which our ahzhwars loved the emperuman.

Dear Sri Vishnu,
As for as i understand, Devotion is
called Bhakthi.Actions that are done with pure
bhakthi, which are connected With the Supreme Person
alone, is called devotional service.
Yes , we have to cultivate or practice
pure bhakthi., Bhakthi is always there within our
heart. Due to our Karmas, and material desires,and
because of Maya we dont develop our bhakthi.And for
Pure devotion we should have surrendering mentality to
Him and receive His mercy also. If we take one step
towards Him He will take two steps towards us.That is
Perumal's Greatness. Without His mercy it is difficult
to advance.From reading your postings i understand you
are a knowledgable person. I think you are teasing me
with your questions. I am answering you with my
limited knowledge.
