Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Dear Members, Excerpts from the discourse of our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji There are several ways of worship ('upãsana mãrga'). Bhagavãn accepts only 'sãttvic bhakti' ('satva' is quality of goodness/purity). Bhagavãn likes only that bhakti which is done with 'sãttvic hrudaya' (pure heart). Acquiring Bhakti is rare ('durlabam') indeed. Generally Vedantins would say, 'bhakti' is for those who are not 'adhikarris' (the deserving) for Jnana; one who is unable to leave for the forest with 'vairagya' (renunciation) and do tapas; one who is unable to make the mind one-pointed should take to Bhakti.' But, I do not accept this concept. What I say is, " Let the one who cannot do Bhakti go out to do tapas! " Bhakti is 'rasa roopa' (filled with deep, soft feelings). So, let the one who cannot do Bhakti leave for the forest to perform tapas. Bhagawan Yogiramsuratkumar says, " Chanting Ram Naam always is Bhakthi. " Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Regards --------------------- 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.php His Holiness Sri Sri Swamiji personally answers these questions for you and suggests prayers. --------------------- For more Namakirtan articles please visit http://guruandnamakirtan.blogspot.com/ ______________________________\ ____ Got a little couch potato?
