Nama Article-67

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara

Swamiji

 

What is the easiest way out? Verily Chanting the

Mahamantra!

 

In Gita, Bhagavaan says,

 

'Bahu shaakha hyananthaascha buddhayo avyavasaayinaam'

 

 

- One who has no set goal has a wavering mind. His

thoughts are multifold.

 

While speaking on Satsang (good association - Sadhu

company) we also make reference of 'dursang' (bad

company) also. Whose company is to be considered bad

('dursangh')? It is not one who drinks, gambles or

visits immoral women, which is usually taken to be

associations to be avoided. You can find undesired

company even amongst 'sadhus' itself! You may be doing

japa of Rama Naama. Someone might advice you that

unless you had knowledge of the Vedas, you cannot

attain God. Another might say that without Sanskrit

knowledge it is verily impossible to attain God. Yet

another one might advice difficult yogaabhyaas like

pulling in the breath through one nostril and

breathing it out through the other. Some one else

might advice performance of homas. Some one might

question, " Do you know to sing 'abhangas'? Do you know

Divya prabandam? Do you know Periapuraanam or

Devaaram? You have to sing all these to attain

Bhagavaan. You cannot attain Him by merely chanting a

simple Rama Naama! " Poor man who had been keenly

chanting Rama Naama would now feel like learning

these. Each one advices what he knows. If you listen

to such people and try your hands at it, you will only

end up in confusion.

 

Do not bother about these. All those who have learnt

the Vedas have not seen Bhagavaan. There are those who

have not learnt the Vedas but yet seen Bhagavaan.

Similarly, all those have knowledge of Sanskrit have

not seen Bhagavaan. There are people who do not know

Sanskrit, yet have attained Bhagavaan. Therefore, do

not bother about such advices.

 

There is only one quality required to attain Bhagavaan

and that is 'premai' (love) in one's 'hrudaya'

(heart). All that we need to do for this is just chant

the Mahamantra! There is no path easier than Chanting

the Name for the attainment of God.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

 

Regards
