# Connection Points

In the ancient treatise of devotion written by Rupa Goswami, known as Bhakti-Rasamrita-Sindhu, he outlines 64 ways in which one’s devotional connection with Krishna can be reawakened. Amongst them he stresses five to be the most powerful:

Spiritual People (*sadhu-sanga*) – association with spiritually minded people.

Spiritual Books (*bhagavata-sravana*) – study and immersion in spiritual literature.

Spiritual Sounds (*nama-kirtan*) – meditation and absorption in the divine name of Krishna.

Spiritual Places (*mathura-vasa*) – visits to and residence in places of pilgrimage.

Spiritual Forms (*murti-seva*) – practical service to the personal deity form of God.

What can you do to engage in these five spiritually powerful acts on a regular basis.
