Just before going to “Who is Lord Vishnu (Krishna) (Rama) real devotee | Names of devotees of Lord Krishna (Vishnu) (Rama)“, let us have some brief information.
To understand who is the ‘nija bhakta’ (real devotee) of Lord Vishnu (Rama) (Krishna) or how should a real devotee should be,
let us first consider one great example of Lord Sri Hanuman with his Lord Sri Rama and then later we will also understand the different 35 gunas / qualities of real devotee (bhakta).
One night, Lord Shri Rama was taking rest. He put His head on his great friend Sugriva’s lap.
Devotee Hanuman and Angada were doing ‘Paramatma Paada-seva’ (Serving Lord Sri Rama’s lotus feet). Lakshmana was arranging the weapons and guarding everyone.
Lord Sri Rama was seeing the beautiful ‘Purnima-Chandra’ (Full Moon). He saw Chandra and said “can anyone of you explain the dark regions in Chandra”.
Everyone gave their explanations. They proved their arguments also.
However Hanuman said “Chandra is ‘Parama-bhakta’ (great devotee) of ‘Nila-megha-shyama’ (Blue / Dark colored Lord Sri Vishnu), Lord Sri Maha Vishnu”.
“Since Paramatma (God) is a ‘Bhakta-varada’ (Someone who gives blessings to his devotees), He always stays in a devotee’s heart.
“Naaham vasaami Vaikunthe Na Yogi Hrudaye Ravou. Madbhakta yatra gaayanti, tatra tishthaami Naarada”. Hence it is Lord Sri Rama who is in the Chandra’s heart.
“Hence Chandra is able to give Amritam (Ambrosia) and Aushadhas (Divine medicines) to the worlds. This explains the dark region (because Lord Sri Rama is ‘Neela-megha-shyama’, that is, someone with dark colored body).”
Lord Sri Rama had great pleasure seeing the devotion of Hanuman. A true devotee recognizes and respects the Bhakti (devotion) of other devotees, as Hanuman did for Chandra.
A devotee also sees ‘Paramatma’ (God) in everything, like Hanuman saw in Chandra.
Now let us understand about the 35 gunas (qualities) of real devotee:
