Nama Article-148

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

 

Rituals are only steps

 

SRI RAMAKRISHNA (to Ishan): " What? You are still here?

Are you still performing the sandhya?

 

Listen to a song:

 

Why should I go to Ganga or Gaya , to Kasi, Kanchi, or

Prabhas,

 

So long as I can breathe my last with Kali's name upon

my lips?

 

What need of rituals has a man, what need of devotions

any more,

 

If he repeats the Mother's name at the three holy

hours?

 

Rituals may pursue him close, but never can they

overtake him.

 

Charity, vows, and giving of gifts do not appeal to

Madan's mind;

 

The Blissful Mother's Lotus Feet are his whole prayer

and sacrifice. . . .

 

" How long must a man continue the sandhya ? As long as

he has not developed love for the Lotus Feet of God,

as long as he does not shed tears and his hair does

not stand on end when he repeats God's name.“

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
