Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Dear Members, Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji You can even deceive God but never your conscience. Can you dupe your conscience? Dhyana, ‘vichara’ (self-enquiry) are only for people who have done these practices earlier, for ‘yoga brashtãs’ and not for all. You may sit with your eyes closed as in dhyana. That’s all. Today, it is difficult for all to perform karma or dhyana. I will explain this to you logically. Sankara’s period was some 2500 years back. At that time every home performed ‘yaga’, ‘yagna’ and puja to the Lord. There was no falsehood then - No bribe, no cheating, no robbing, no thieving, etc. Sankara who lived in such a period has said that dhyana, yoga, ‘vichara’ (enquiry) are not easy practices and has recommended chanting the Name of the Lord. Then what to speak of today when there is so much falsehood, bribe, thieving, etc.? ‘Bhajanam’ (Chanting the Divine Name) is very easy and one can easily attain God through this. Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Regards --------------------- If you have any questions or doubts concerning Spirituality, Mental peace or problems in life or about dharma, please write to us by clicking here: http://www.namadwaar.org/answers/askquestion.php His Holiness Sri Sri Swamiji personally answers these questions for you and suggests prayers. --------------------- ______________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
