Dear Members,

 

Excerpts from the discourse of our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

There are several ways of worship ('upãsana mãrga').Bhagavãn accepts only

'sãttvic bhakti' ('satva' is quality of goodness/purity) . Bhagavãn likes only

that bhakti which is done with 'sãttvic

hrudaya' (pure heart). Acquiring Bhakti is rare ('durlabam') indeed. Generally

Vedantins would say, 'bhakti' is for those who are not 'adhikarris' (the

deserving) for Jnana; one who is unable to leave for the forest with 'vairagya'

(renunciation) and do tapas; one who is unable to make the mind one-pointed

should take to Bhakti.'

 

But, I do not accept this concept. What I say is, " Let the one who cannot do

Bhakti go out to do tapas! " Bhakti is 'rasa roopa' (filled with deep, soft

feelings). So, let the one who cannot do Bhakti leave

for the forest to perform tapas.

 

Bhagawan Yogiramsuratkumar says, " Chanting Ram Naam always is Bhakthi. "
