Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Nama Article 5th December 2007 Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji “This human body is composed of the five basic elements- earth, air, water, fire and space. This physical body represents the earth. We inhale air. We drink water in order to maintain hydration. Fire is represented by the heat in our body. We always ensure that these four elements are maintained within normal limits. We forget that there is “Space” within us. Shabda (sound) is the food for this space. The sound of Bhagavan nãma and mantras help maintain normalcy as far as “Space” is concerned.” Just as unhygienic drink or food affects our system so do unhealthy sounds (in the form of vulgar songs, speeches) affect our system both physically and mentally. This may lead to the stage of depression. Just as medicines prescribed by a doctor cure us of the infection from impure water and food so do the sound of the Divine Name of the Lord (the Mahamantra) purifies the space within, which has been infected with impure sounds. Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare -- RegardsRamHare 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...
