jai gurudev!

Of course it is possible! You can go to delhi or

jodhpur whenever Gurudev calls ....please keep reading

MTY.

Also, you can do a lot of guru seva staying at home

doing Vidhya daan, i.e., making people MTY

or paying for their subscriptions.

Another Guru seva is to conduct oneself in the righful

manner as Guru Shri says. Read MTY, especially the

first article by Gurudev every month. You will not

need to ask what seva is there for you to do.

Jai gurudev!

Some Examples of Namasmarana

1. "Remember how Sita braved the taunts, insults and tortures of the ogresses in Lanka. What was it that gave her the stamina? It was Rama-Nama and nothing else. The Karma of Rama Nama and Rama Dhyana will remould your mind."

2. "Of Hanuman it is said 'Roma-Romamu-Rama- Namame,' every single hair recited 'Rama.' His tail was a formidable weapon, for it was filled with the might of the Name. He is also called 'Sundara' or 'the Charming One', the Beautiful One'. Why? Because he had Rama installed in his heart and the splendour and beauty of Rama was reflected in his face. This made him charming to behold. He was also a 'sweet companion' because he spoke of only Rama and sang only Rama's glory."

3. "Draupadi, the Queen of the Pandavas, whose story is one long series of humiliations and calamities, was rescued from dishonour and distress time aftertime. Rukmini and Sathyabhama were curious to know the nature of the devotion that could draw such bountiful Grace of the Lord on her in such a continous stream. So Krishna took both of them to Draupadi when she was drying her hair after a bath and asked his queens to comb her hair which had got into tangle. When they did so, they heard from the tip of each hair the sound of Nama-japa 'Krishna! Krishna! Krishna! Krishna!' The Name of the Lord had impregnated each single hair of her head ! That was the extent of her devotion to the Lord."

4. "Thyagaraja started Nama Japa of Sri Rama in his twentieth year. He recited it ninety six crores of times and took 21 years and 15 days for the vow to fructify. As a result, he had the Darshan of Sri Rama. The letters of the Nama had taken shape', he says about this experience."

5. "Meera quaffed the cup of poison with the Name on her tongue, and it turned into nectar. Namasmarana saved Prahlada from the agony of torture: the elephants brought to crush him turned back when they saw the boy! Fire could not singe him! The rocks on which he was thrown from great heights could not bruise him! No poison could affect him..."
