Nama Article-38

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Ravishankar,This is a clear example where Sri Vaishnavam, particulary the Tenkalai school, takes a firm departure from more popularly held Vedic views. The question is raised - why should be our punyas - i.e. our effort - be the defining quality that makes us so qualified to be able to recite His Name. If the Supreme Being is truly Supreme, would it not be His Grace and not our qualification, that makes His Name come to us. Evidence for this is found throughout the Azhwars' pasurams. Please note again that I am not trying to challenge your position on this; I only wish to generate healthy discussion in a mood of comparative study among this forum.adiyenMohan

Dear Members,

 

 

Now, what is the proof ('pramãna') of any merit

earning acts ('punya') to our credit? It is certain

that we have done 'punya'. What is the evidence? So

many of us have gathered here and are performing

Nãmasankirtan! Are we not? We are chanting Bhagavan

Nãmakirtan. We know from Bodendra's 'hrudaya' (heart)

that the reason for Bhagavan Nãma being uttered by us

is only due to 'punya' accrued from meritorious acts

performed in crores of 'janma' (birth).

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

 

Regards
