Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA i got this email today from Sivananda's Divine Life Society. it reminded me of reading here one time that Swamiji said Shree Maa is always doing Mantra and he thinks half the time She isn't listening to him. i have noticed that repeating God's Name seems to be the One practice that all Masters like Shree Maa seem to have in common. Sri Sarada Deva said, "As the timepiece on the wall goes on ticking, so too must you continue to repeat God's Name. Thus you will attain everything. Nothing else need be done." Mantra, truly a God send. SIVANANDA DAILY READING FOR 19 MAY THE SAVING GRACE Japa is the best of all spiritual practices in this modern age. It is the easiest too. The divine name alone will give you all success and bestow on you the highest spiritual attainments. The seeker after truth reaches the highest goal by japa or recitation of the Lord's name (or mantra) alone. This is a sure medicine for the disease of birth and death. If you take to the recitation of the divine name, all inauspiciousness will certainly vanish. Smarana is remembrance of the Lord at all times. The mind does not think of any object of the world. It is engrossed in thinking of the glorious Lord alone. The mind meditates on the glories of the Lord and forgets the body. Even japa is only remembrance of the Lord. Ever remember the Lord. His divine name is the greatest treasure on earth. It has got indescribable power of bestowing blessings upon all who have faith. It is a good idea to recite the mantras at bedtime. In ordinary self-consciousness there is duality between the repetitioner and the name. It is discursive. It is within the fields of ordinary experience. It is confined within the categories of the mind, of limited conceptions. Ultimately the ordinary self- consciousness is elevated into a transcendental experience, into a state of superconsciousness. The repetitioner and the name become one. The eternally revealed truth reveals itself to him and he realises his oneness with the supreme. The sense of duality, the gulf of separateness between the finite and the infinite is removed. Spiritual life needs harmony in all parts of your being. Spiritual truth can only be realised when the whole being is perfectly at ease and in tune with the divine. Mantra (the name of God) has the power to release cosmic and supracosmic consciousness. It bestows illumination, freedom, supreme peace, eternal bliss and immortality. JAI MAA ------------------------ Sponsor --------------------~--> Home is just a click away.

This discipline I follow, in Japa for the planets, in Japa from my Guru, in Japa for my Guru, in Japa in meditation, in Japa in contemplation, in Japa into samadhi. It is simple and that is realization. When staying in Japan the Buddhist Masters taught me that there is contemplation in action and comtemplation in contemplation. To me this Japa leads to realization. Love Kanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste Eric, Thanks for the timely post. Last Sunday, Swamiji quoted the Kilakam (dont you just love this chapter of the Chandi) once again to emphasize how important it is to keep repeating one's mantra. In the kilakam, verse 4 says "There is no mantra, no medicine, nor anything else known, by which indifference to all can be attained without repeated application" May we keep repeating our mantras.
