Dear All,

 

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara

Swamiji

 

Sundara Kaandam in Ramayana depicts Guru Tattva

 

What is the means used by Hanuman to enjoin Sita, the

‘jiva’, with Rama, the Bhagavaan? He gives her Rama’s

ring. The ring that Hanuman gives to Sita bears the

word ‘Rama’! It means that the Guru initiates her into

‘Taaraka Mantra’ (Rama) to cross the ocean of

samsaara. Sita had already been chanting this Naama

and was ever thinking of Rama. Why then should Hanuman

give it (Naama) to her? You might have been doing

incessant japa of a Naama for a long period but, only

if the Mantra/Naama is given by the Guru, will it bear

fruit.

 

All these days Sita had been thinking of and chanting

Rama (Naama). Was all this then a waste? No! Why did

Hanuman go to Sri Lanka ! It was only the Rama Naama

japa performed by Sita that pulled Hanuman unto her

and made him give the Mantra to her. Once this was

done war was fought and soon after ‘pattabhisheka’

(coronation) of Rama was done. Sita and Rama were

united. Do not give up chanting of any Naama of

Bhagavaan that you have been chanting on your own.

This will certainly lead you to a Sadguru who will

give ‘upadesa’ (initiation) of a Mantra. At such a

time, do not tell the Guru, “Why all this ‘upadesa’

for me? I will do it on my own.” When you get a proper

Guru, take ‘upadesa’ from him. Until then keep doing

japa.

 

Therefore, what is the easiest way out? Verily Rama

Naama!

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
