Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 * When you do Japa, concentrate upon the Mantra. Recite every Mantra clearly. When your mind is restless, you can chant the Mantra a bit loudly so that you alone could hear. When you mind is calm, then you can do Japa of this Mantra mentally. * Devotion to the Lord is regarded as a very efficacious method of attaining Self-realisation. Therefore, cultivate devotion through Japa, prayer, Kirtan, study of Ramayana, Bhagavata and through service of Sadhus and His devotees. * Kindly do not worry that you are not able to visualise the form of your Ishta Devata when you do Japa. When you advance in the path you will achieve this. * Sit in front of the picture of your Ishta Devata. Look at it with a steady gaze for some time. Then close your eyes and bring the form to the mind. Repeated efforts will give you success. Withdraw the mind from worldly thoughts. Develop concentration and attention. Be patient. * Be not afraid when problems arise. Make God the Pole Star of your life. * Never fear about your spiritual progress. Your faith and devotion will help you at every step. Gurukripa ever guides the faithful disciple. Contd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
