Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Respected elders and knowledgeble persons of the list My humble pranams to you all. I have read in one of messages posted some time ago that Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi used to chant divine name ( doing nama japam ) daily 1 lakh times. She used to do on behalf of her devotees as well who were unable to perform nama japam. Holy Mother stressed the importance of nama japam and asked the devotees to chant any divine name 108 times atleast. But when i am calculating today, i am surprised to see how much time it will take to chant any divine name 1 lakh time a day!! It is not possible for humans. How could Holy Mother possibly chant a lakh times a day??? Is it true? Please shed light on this. Hail to Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa!! shashi.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Namaste, Such calculations may be based only our mundane mathematics! Even taken literally, one has to remember that 'manasa' japa is 100 times as effective as 'upamsu' [audible only to oneself] japa, and 'upamsu' is 100 times that of 'vaikhari' [audible to others] japa! When Maya-Shakti Herslf incarnates as Sharada Devi, what can be impossible for Her? If one still has doubts, Swami Gambhirananda's biography [1977] of Ma Sharada Devi will put them to rest!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Hello, I do not know how you calculated. It takes half a second to chant once. This amounts to one lakh in 14 hours.
