Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Nama Article 31st January 2007 Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna Rituals are only steps SRI RAMAKRISHNA (to Ishan): "What? You are still here? Are you still performing the sandhya? Listen to a song: Why should I go to Ganga or Gaya, to Kasi, Kanchi, or Prabhas, So long as I can breathe my last with Kali's name upon my lips? What need of rituals has a man, what need of devotions any more, If he repeats the Mother's name at the three holy hours? Rituals may pursue him close, but never can they overtake him. Charity, vows, and giving of gifts do not appeal to Madan's mind; The Blissful Mother's Lotus Feet are his whole prayer and sacrifice. . . . "How long must a man continue the sandhya ? As long as he has not developed love for the Lotus Feet of God, as long as he does not shed tears and his hair does not stand on end when he repeats God's name.“ Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ----------------------- If you have any questions or doubts concerning Spirituality, Mental peace or problems in life or about dharma, please write to us by clicking here:http://www.namadwaar.org/answers/askquestion.phpHis Holiness Sri Sri Swamiji personally answers these questions for you and suggests prayers. ---------------------------For more Namakirtan articles please visit http://guruandnamakirtan.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
