Bhakti is not something that is just associated with religion. Bhakti is what you need if you want to pursue anything including your science with intensity. I spend long hours at work and I am completely immersed in what I do. This to me is bhakti.

Re: Madhurashtakam
Is it madhurAdhipatEr or mathurAdhipatEr? I think it's the latter.

srkris,
It is 'madhurAdhipatEr' - http://www.stutimandal.com/gif_misc/madhurashtakam.htm
madhura - in this Sloka seems to mean 'delight' and not town 'mathura'

Re: Madhurashtakam
The reason I asked is mathurA+adhipatiH seems to make better sense than madhura+adhipatiH.
MathurAdhipatEr means "king/ruler/master of Mathura". I presumed the poet would have used mathurA here as it sounds close to madhura.

Re: Madhurashtakam
madhurAdhipatEr akhilam madhuram - "to the master of the delightful, the entire world is sweet/delightful"
the sanskrit version of this I have seen has 'dh' and not 'th', so madhurAtipatEr is correct.....
