Sri:

 

Dearest Sri Mani,

 

I completely agree with you, that when we attempt to concentrate our minds,

they go jumping wildly much faster than any fastest thing in the world. When

ArjunA reports that to KrishNA, "sanchalam hi mana: krishNA...", KrishNA's

answer is: only "abhyAsam" can help. (Sri Gopal, please forgive me for any

transliteration mistake!).

 

My revered AchAryA, Sri PaRavaakkOttai Swami, Srimad Poundareekapuram

ANdavan, during his upadEsam mentioned that it is difficult to control the

mind; However, he suggested to keep any picture /photo of our "ishta" form

of Sriman NarayaNa, (Sri Rama, Sri Krishnan, Sri Ranganathan, Sri VenkatEsa

PaerumAL, Sri Oppiliappan, Sri LakshmI Hayagreevan or kutti KaNNan, or any

Divya Desa PerumAL, or any avtaar of our Lord, or even just the two Divya

maNi pAdukAs) in our front ; or sit in front of that picture with our eyes

pleading the Lord (or His pAdukAs/ Feet) for mercy and imagine ourselves

bathing Him, dressing Him, making Him eat, adorning Him with most valuable

ornaments, etc,, and making Him to sleep, while our lips murmur the Gayathri

japam or

the ashtAksharam continuously.

 

(It was quite useful to follow; but, you know, maNi, still, my mind wanders

with the same speed! The amount of sins is so huge that pulls the mind out.

It is our sincere prayer to our Most Merciful Divya Dampatis to grant us

such concentration in order to do little justice to these MahA manthrams.)

 

May Sri RanganAyikA samEtha Sri RanaganAthan bless us as They do ALWAYS!

 

Narayana Narayana
