My email address recently has been changed from: mishrand to

 

mishrand

 

Although this change would have occurred already, but it will change in any

case.

It would be advisable to send mail to me at the correct address:

mishrand

Best regards: ndeomishra (1 403 252 6454)/ mishrand.

| Dear Kiran:

|

| I have found the constant repitition of your Chosen Deity (i.e., Japa) while

| in the midst of your active life is very helpful in rising above " me and

| mine, " as you strive toward " Thee and Thine. " Let Japa become your mental

| " screen saver, " as you practice it whenever the full attention of your mind

| is not needed for whatever activity you are engaged in.

|

| God Bless,

| Brad

| i have found that the best way for me personally ( and this all personal) is

| that when i love what i do, whether it is for a living or for recreation, i

| do not really pay much attention to the results or the fruits of action.

| Finding one's calling therefore, one that you can call your 'passion' is the

| surest way for renouncing the fruits of desire. Loving what one does is also

| the most sensible way as the process of doing something far outlasts the

| actual end result in a linear time scale. So the process is the end, for

| me... If that is achieved the " fruits " can turn out however...! This

| detachment usually does always bring out the best results as well.

|

| Finding one's calling though is the tough part!...

| But a hint is that when you feel an energy and a drive and strength in doing

| an activity and you can make a living out of it...even if it just makes

| do..that is your calling...just my personal thoughts that have been relevant

| for me ...

| Different people have different ways of chanting. you are right..you could

| chant it as fast as you do...but i did read that " akshara shuddhi " is

| important. Swami Shivananda's Japa Yoga is really an amazing book for this.
