Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Dear Members, Faith-The way Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna “Vibhishana wrote the name of Rama on a leaf and tied it within the folds of the cloth of a man who wanted to cross the sea. Vibhishana said to him, ‘Fear not. Have faith and walk across the sea. But mind you, as soon as you lose your faith you will drown.’ This man was walking nicely on the sea till he was seized with an intense desire to see just once what was there in the folds of his cloth. He untied the folds of his cloth and saw that it was just the name of Rama written on the leaf. Then he said to himself, ‘What! Just the name of Rama written thereon!’ And on the instant with the loss of faith, he went under the water. “One who has faith in the Lord can be redeemed of great sins no matter he may have committed the vilest sins killed a cow, a brahmin or a woman. Let him only say, ‘I shall not do so again,’ he need not fear anything.” 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. --------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
