Spiritualism

Sant Bhakti (Saintly love) is where the devotee, thinks about god all the time and composes and chants hymns and builds temples on his favorite god’s form. Examples of such devotees are Saint Tukaram, Saint Purandhradasa, etc.

Dasa Bhakti (Servant of god) is where the devotee prefers to be the lord’s slave who obeys god’s orders without questioning and performs herculean tasks for the sake of god and in service to humanity in general. This is essentially a masculine form of devotion. The best example is Lord Hanuman the monkey god.

Other more human are Mahavtar Babaji, Yogavatar Lahiri Mahasaya, Gyanavtar Sriyukteshwara giri, Premavatar Paramhansa Yogananda, Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami the founder of Isckon, Sohom Swami etc. are servants of god.
