Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 (Krishna says:) " I dwell not in the spiritual kingdom, nor in the hearts of the yogis; where My devotees are chanting, there, O Narada, stand I! " (Padma Purana) Vaishnava texts state that in much the same way that one could awaken a person who is sleeping bu making a sound or calling out his name, man can awaken from his conditioned, materialistic slumber by calling out the name of God. In fact, the world's major religious traditions concur that it is by chanting the name of God that one attains enlightenment and freedom from the cycle of birth and death. Mohammed counseled, " Glorify the name of your Lord, the most high. " (Koran); Saint Paul said, " Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " (Romans 10.13); Buddha declared, " All who sincerely call upon my name will come to me after death, and I will take them to paradise, " (Vows of Amida Buddha 18); and the Vaishnava scripture repeatedly asserts: " Chant the holy name, chant the holy name, chant the holy name of the Lord. In this age of quarrel there is no other way, no other way, no other way to attain spiritual enlightenment. " (Brihan-naradiya Purana 3.8.126). Praise of the holy name of God is found throughout the literature of the Vaishnavas: " Oh, how glorious are they whose tongues are chanting your holy name! Even if originally low-born dog-eaters, they are to be considered worshipable to have reached the point of chanting the Lord's holy name, they must have executed various austerities and Vedic sacrifices and achieved all the good qualities of true Aryans. If they are chanting Your holy name, they must have bathed in all holy rivers, studied the Vedas and fulfilled all prescribed duties. " (Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.33.7)LET US NOT MAKE OUR STOMACH A GRAVEYARD. LET US NOT EAT FLESH. LET US BE VEGETARIANS AND STAY HEALTHY. Animals are to be loved, not eaten. Eating flesh is good neither for the mind nor for the intellect, not even for the body. It distorts the basic character of human. Think Soul is Soul and it came from the Supreme Soul...God Head Krishna Chant:Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
