Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 NAMA JAPA "The Lords Name is like Divine nectar; repeat it all the time" "In this Dark age (Kali yuga), the mind of man is weak and restless from the day of birth. Because of this no one is able to do the real practice of meditation any more; but everyone can pray and repeat and chant the name of God, using whichever divine name his religion teaches" "Chant the name of the Lord always. By chanting the mantra, its vibrations spread all around you. You will then "meditate" for yourself and for others" "The only way to happily control the mind is to worship the Lord and remember His Name at every moment. The power of the Lord is unfathomable. Keeping it always in mind, the traveler on the Path overcomes every obstacle. When the Name of the Lord, as His supreme power, enters the heart, happiness begins to pervade it. By remembering His Name the Lord Himself comes to reside within the heart, and the devotee immediately reaps the fruit of all his endeavors. The little self of man then begins to merge with the Divine Self, and the Lord, most merciful, gives fearlessness to it. The constant remembrance of the Lord transforms the individual self into the Self Supreme...the self, by constantly remembering God, becomes like Him" "Of greatest importance is that the repetition of God's Name increases daily. In this way your heart and mind will be purified; only then will you find God in yourself" "The mind can be purified only by japa. This is the only medicine for the disease of the mind. While your mind and your heart are impure, how can God live in your heart. The water to clean your heart is the Name of God. So teach everyone to repeat the Name of God - everywhere." Japa does not take the place of karma (work). Jap and work go together. You must be active in God's work, like King Janaka who ruled his kingdom always with his mantra in his mind. Arjuna fought the Mahabharata battle, constantly remembering God's Name. " Do jap with your work and be liberate. I do not want God's Name to be like stagnant, muddy water, but like sparkling, running water. Work and be Light! Repeat God's Name! With a concentrated mind, always repeat God's Name!" MAY KRSNA BE ALWAYS WITH YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
