Man feels that only the most difficult is the highest, the most difficult way is the best way. This is a very wrong notion

Man feels that only the most difficult is the highest. The mind ('manas') of man concludes that the most difficult way is the best way. This is a very wrong notion. There can be an easy, simple way. And this easy way can bestow the highest on us.

 

The very same Shastra that has prescribed tough ways of 'tapas', 'yoga', 'dhyana', 'vedanta vichara' has also prescribed and spoken the glory of 'Bhagavan Nama kirtan' - the glory of uttering the Name of the Lord and singing the praises of the Lord.

Bhagawan Nama Bodendra Saraswati Swamigal puts forth his findings in the following words, "Since it is so easy and simple, none takes to it!

 

Would it not amount to grave injustice if one shows a difficult path to the world?

 

There are many ways. But the simplest and the easiest way is by chanting the "Hare Rama.." Mahamantra.

 

They are for those who don't believe in simple prayers.

 

Smallest dharma is verily Chanting the Divine Name (Namakirtan) and ignorance ['ajnaana'] the worst fear

 

The genuine seeker alone will be able to spot it

 

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

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