Dear Members,

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

The purpose of all rituals and duties is to please the

Lord. Nothing else pleases the Lord as much as the

chanting of the Divine names. So, chanting the divine

names of the Lord is sufficient.

 

Karma Marga: Though a great marga, in today's world,

it is just impossible to follow the Karma marga as

prescribed in our Vedas. Nowadays, we find many who

speak on stage about the greatness of our Vedas and

the need to protect them. None of these speakers is

prepared to send his son for Veda Adhyayanam(to study

the Vedas) nor will give his daughter in marriage to a

Vedic scholar.

 

However, our Sanatana dharma protects even these

people who only talk about protecting it. "

 

" Let us leave alone great yagnas such as Soma yagam or

Vajapeyam. It is very rare to even find a person who

does Sandhyavandanam, which forms part of one's

Nithyakarma, regularly.

 

Any ritual with fire requires boo-sparsham (fire

should be in contact with earth). But, these days the

'Shradha ceremony' (rituals done for the dead parents)

is done in multistory apartments.

 

In Karma marga, Achaara anushtanam(strict adherence to

the rules laid down by the Vedas) is a must.

 

Compromising on Achara anushtanam may even produce

deleterious effects. "

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
