Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Namakirtan is Mediation - 2
Vedanta granta speaks on the performance of such japa.
It says,
'Vittukarudalinãl ãru nei viizhchi pola
Vittidã dunnale undee para
Visedamãm munnave undeepara'
Vazhutthalil vãkkuccha vãikkut jabatthil
Vizhuppamã mãnada mundii para
Villambund dhyanami undee para'
What does it mean? While pouring out a liquid, that is full of viscosity, it runs down in a continuous flow without a break - 'ãru nei viizhchi pola' - It is known as 'thaila dhãrai' - the flow of oil. Likewise the flow of a river - let us take the movement of a river like the Cauvery or the Ganga. Just as the water flows continually without a break so, too, the constant thought of a God whom we love very much is also dhyana. Or doing japa of a Mantra of the God is also dhyana - 'Rama! Rama! Rama!' - saying this within the mind constantly is also dhyana.
Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
