The various forms (in this Universe) are the beads of the rosary; Only can a Sadhu (Saint) remember Rama.

Nama Article 22nd October 2008
 

The Nirguna School of Brahmavadis, of which Kabir and the succeeding saint-poets were the chief exponents, regarded the Name and its Japa to be of immense value. They had a child like faith in the infinite glory of the Name.

 

Doha of Dadu Dayal (1544 - 1603) {who was an illustrious follower of Kabir and a great devotee}:

 

The Universal Spirit is like a thread in a rosary which pervades all animate and inanimate creation and revolves through all forms (representing various beads in the rosary) is a fitting aid to this Japa.

 

It is such a Japa that Dada refers to in the following lines:

 

"दादू माला सब आकारकी;

कोई साधू सुमिरै राम"

 

"The various forms (in this Universe) are the beads of the rosary;

Only can a Sadhu (Saint) remember Rama"

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
