Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Njanappaana 59 Geethayum paranjeedunnathengane Vedavum bahumaanichu chollunnu Bhagavad Gita and Vedaas also say the same thing (that naamasankeerthanam is the easiest way to attain salvation) Let us look into a few words mentioned in Gita and Vedaas about Naamasankeerthanam In Bhgavad Gita Bhagavaan says: Yanjnaanaam japayanjnosmi - Of all the Yanjnaas, I am Japayanjnam or Naamasankeerthanam. So Lord Krishna considers naamasankeerthanam as one of the most sacred and easy way to think of God. In Bhaagavatham, the conversation between King Nimi and Navayogis or nine sages explains Bhaagavatha dharma and this is one of them: Srunvan subhadraani rathaanga paane : janmaani karmaani ca yaani loke gitaani naamaani tat arthakaani gaayan vilajja: vicaret asanga : (11.2.39)One should listen to the sanctifying stories of ChakrapaanI's incarnations in this world and His actions. They should sing His names and songs. One should do this without any shame (which comes out of " I " feeling) and move around without any attachment. (with gratitude, taken from Kanchi forum site) Melpatthoor in his Naarayaneeyam, took the essence of the meaning of the following lines from Rigvedam and expressed it in the third slokam of Chapter 99. tam u sthothaa : poovyam yathaa vidha ruthasya garbham janushaa piparthana aasya janantho naama chidh vivarthana: mahas te Vishno sumathim Bhajaamahe Meaning of the third sloka of chapter 99 of Melpatthoor's Naaraayneeyam: O bards! (singers) Foremost among poets! May you all praise Him here by (singing) the stories of His sportive incarnations the same way you have understood (them). O you great men who understand the gist of the Vedaas clearly, chant repeatedly His names, realizing that they confer well-being on all. O Lord MahaVishnu! May I too, attain the knowledge of the true nature of Brahman by extolling your glories, great you are! ( taken with gratitude from Bhaktharanjini translation of Naaraayaneeyam) The same ideas, our Bhakthakavi Poonthaanam expressed in simple Malayalam for ordinary people like us to understand. With the support of scriptural texts he tried to establish the greatness of Naamasankeerthanam one more time. Let us chant the divine names of Bhagavaan along with Shri Poonthaanam and millions of devotees around the world: Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana! Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayna! Hare! Avhyuthaananda! Govinda! maadava! Sachindaananda! Naaraayana Hare!
