Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Kathaa sravanam (Listening to glories of Lord) and Nama kirtanam (Chanting the Divine Names) are the two foundation stones upon which bhakthi is built. Only through kathaa sravanam can we know the glory of the Lord, his boundless grace as also the greatness of saints.
For example, the description of a music concert by an ardent lover of music instills interest in the listener. Similarly, only listening to glories of Lord sows the seed of bhakthi in one. The more we hear about God, the purer our mind becomes.
The cleansed mind develops Prema bhakthi, the highest order of Bhakthi, wherein the devotee experiences indescribable and boundless love for the Lord.
Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
