Nama Articles ( Why chanting the Divine Name ?)

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

I am very happy for the over whelming responses being

received from various groups where in I am a member

currently, and I am sure that many will join in

the coming days.

 

Our mission is Called " Chaitanya Maha Prabhu Nama

Biksha Kendra " the reason behind our Swamiji to name

in this fashion basically is

 

1. " Chaitanya Maha Prabhu " a great saint 500-600 years

back went across the length and breath of India to

enable all people chant this Maha Mantra.

 

2. " Nama Biksha Kendra " Our mission is currently

moving all around in Tamil Nadu and other parts of

India in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ongole in Andhra,

Ahmadabad, Mumbai to spread this message of Maha

Mantra chanting and our Kendra volunteers are

(Biksha)BEGGING each and everyone to chant not for any

personal gains but for ONE AND ONLY GOAL IS TO MAKE A

CONCIOUS EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT THE MANKNIND IS HAPPY &

PEACEFUL. We are similarly extending this to outside

India . We have successfully conducted satsang in

Singapore , Indonesia , Australia , UK , and Middle

East and currently in US.

 

The power of the Maha Mantra is such that we were

invited in Singapore prison to chant and people and

the prisoners felt very happy and peaceful. In

Indonesia we chanted the MM with a packed crowd of

2000 members in an open venue and today in these

countries we have an open invitation to come and

chant. Last couple of months back our satsang members

were in Australia and currently in US and there has

been a tremendous response.

 

As I had informed earlier since this Mantra is from

our Upanishads people do not doubt on the power it has

(Earlier sent mail to this group on Kali Santrana

Upanishads) FYI

 

Please visit our website www.namadwaar.org or

www.madhuramurali.org for more details.

 

I would like to further explain why our mission is

pleading to chant the Hare Rama Maha Mantra ( Nama

Kirtan )and how will it benefit and what will it

finally leads too.

 

'Everyone is potentially divine'

 

The aforesaid thundering proclamation of Swami

Vivekananda which inspired the Vedantic movement in

the west aptly describes the basic tenet of our

Dharma.

 

The challenge obviously is to make that potential

manifest completely. The various paths (Religions)

strive towards this goal. Any of the popular four

paths � that of Mind control, Self enquiry, Dedicated

Action and Selfless love can lead one to the state of

Bliss. In the modern context, when a person is plagued

with daily trifles which leaves not even one peaceful

moment for quiet contemplation, there should be an

easy path for peace and prosperity. That path should

be such, that it should not involve a lot of rules /

restrictions; It should not have time-bound

restrictions; It should not involve much expenditure;

It should be something which can be easily followed.

In short, it should be perfectly relevant in the

current day context, and absolutely practical.

 

Is there such a path?

 

Well, there is!!

 

The path of chanting the divine name. Our elders

called it Nama Kirtan. Repetition of some sounds

produces harmony in the mind. Our ancient Spiritual

scientists (Called rishis) by their sheer intuition

and asepsis found those benign sounds which raises the

consciousness of the person chanting it. Those were

called Bhagavan Namas or the very names of God, the

holy words.

 

 

The next thinking will be, how does the chanting of

the Lord's names be Useful to us?

 

It is interesting to note that according to Hindus

belief, if a Nama is pronounced correctly the deity

to whom it is addressed has no choice but to respond

to the invoker automatically and help him.

 

With clear foresight the ancient Rishis saw that the

mankind is rushing towards a hectic life and they

prescribed this path of chanting the Holy names as the

apt path for the modern days.

 

All we need is to understand how this works and try

to see it's results. Sharp, focused and concentrated

mind will certainly acheive an efficient, happy

and cheerful life.

 

For people who are serious in their Spiritual

pursuits, the benign name 'internalizes' the mind to

aid in the process of self discovery. For the

devotees, these are the very names of their beloved

which speeds up their spiritual journey towards the

blissful union with their beloved.

 

So this path is well suited for people in every walk of

life whether it is Secular, Spiritual or Religious.

 

Added Information:

 

Sri Prabhu Pada 40 years back took this to the Western

world and today ISKON is enabling people to chant the

same mantra world wide. Further " Hare Rama Hare Krishna

Mantra " can be chanted by any one, in any social

position, in any country and in any age for

Rama,Krishna are the Supreme Lords of all people in

all social positions, in all countries, in all ages.

This Maha mantra will not encounter any enimity,

opposition or persecution and amazingly the entire

world is made to know the way to God.

 

Even Bible says

 

For the word [Name] of God is quick, and powerful, and

sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the

dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints

and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and

intents of the heart.

 

-- The Bible [Hebrews 4:12]
