Dear Members,

 

GLORY OF DIVINE NAME by Sri Swami Sivananda

 

The Name of God chanted correctly or incorrectly,

knowingly or unknowingly, carefully, is sure to give

the desired result. Just as burning quality is natural

to and inherent in fire, so also, the power of

destroying sins with their very root and branch, and

bringing the aspirant into blissful union with the

Lord through Bhava-Samadhi, is natural to and inherent

in the Name of God.

 

The glory of the Name of God cannot be established

through reasoning and intellect. It can be experienced

or realized only through devotion, faith and constant

repetition of the Name. There is a Sakti or power in

every word. If you utter the word 'excreta' or 'urine'

when your friend is taking his meals, he may at once

vomit his food.

 

If you think of 'Garam Pakoda', 'hot Pakoda' (fried

delicacies), your tongue will get salivation.

When anyone suddenly shouts 'Scorpion! Scorpion!',

'Snake! Snake!’ you at once apprehend the scorpion or

the snake and jump in fright.

When anyone calls you a 'donkey' or an 'ass', you are

annoyed and you show anger.

If anyone says, " You are a nice person, " you smile.

When such is the power of the names of the ordinary

things of this world, what tremendous power should

there be in the Name of God!

 

God is the completion or the fullness of existence.

 

1. Hence, the Name which denotes Him, too, is full and

perfect.

2. Therefore, the power of the Name of God is

incalculable, for it is the height or the zenith of

power.

3. The Name of God can achieve anything. There is

nothing impossible for it.

4. It is the means to the realization of God Himself.

5. Even as the name of a thing in this world generates

the consciousness of that thing in the mind, the Name

of God generates God-consciousness in the purified

mind and becomes the direct cause of the realization

of the Highest Perfection or God.
