krsna Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 From Sri Sanatan Goswami's Brhad Bhagavatamrtam. jayati jayati nAmAnanda-rUpaM murArer- viramita-nija-dharma-dhyAna-pUjAdi-yatnam/ katham-api sakrd-AttaM muktidaM prANinAM yat paramam-amRtam-ekaM jIvanaM bhUsanaM me// All hail and glory to Murari in the form of his joyous name, which causes one to abandon one's socio-religeous duties, meditation, ritual worship and the like; yet somehow, without delay, it easily grants release ( from samsara) to all beings. Such is Hari's name, nay, it is the highest and singular ambrosia, my very life and my most precious adornment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krsna Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 namnam akari bahudha nija-sarva-saktis tatrarpita niyamitah smarane na kalah etadrsi tava krpa bhagavan mamapi durdaivam idrsam ihajani nanuragah O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names, like Krsna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them.

krsna Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 jIyAn-nAma murAreh premamarandasya navyamaravindam/ bhavati yadAbhAso'pi svAtijalaM muktimuktAyAh// Glory be to name of Murari! which like a blooming lotus, overflows with the sweet nectar of prema. It's mere semblance is as a droplet which becomes the pearl of release from samsara. Here's a versification from a tape by Dravida das. All glory to the holy name of Krsna, Mura's foe! That name's a blooming lotus with ambrosia overflowing; The soothing balm of love of god which cures all pain and woe. Just a dim reflection of that name, e'en slightly glowing, Is like a drop of purest rain that falls within an oyster shell, And brings about the pearl of liberation from this earthly hell.

krsna Posted February 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 nama cintamanih krsnas caitanya-rasa-vigrahah purnah suddho nitya-mukto 'bhinnatvan nama-naminoh "The holy name of Krsna is transcendentally blissful. It bestows all spiritual benedictions, for it is Krsna Himself, the reservoir of all pleasure. Krsna's name is complete, and it is the form of all transcendental mellows. It is not a material name under any condition, and it is no less powerful than Krsna Himself. Since Krsna's name is not contaminated by the material qualities, there is no question of its being involved with maya. Krsna's name is always liberated and spiritual; it is never conditioned by the laws of material nature. This is because the name of Krsna and Krsna Himself are identical."

Beautifying these waters are the lotus flowers of singing, dancing and loud chanting of Krsna's holy name, which are the pleasure abodes of unalloyed devotees. These devotees are compared to swans, ducks and bees. The river's flowing produces a melodious sound that gladdens their ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
