Even if you have no good habit (‘sadăcchăra’) do not take to wicked ways. Chant the Name of the Lord

Nama Article 15th December 2011

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Bhagavăn says, "It is I who has given the Vedas, the Shastras. Lead your life accordingly." But Bhagavăn is not ready to give up those 'jivas' who are unable to lead their lives on the lines of dharmic principles.

 

Bhagavăn, therefore, sends Mahătmas to the world who tell the jivas - 'At least utter the Lord's Nămas and get ashore'.

 

Here, the Mahătma is the mother. "You need not listen to your father's words but at least avoid wicked ways ('durăcchăra'). Even if you have no good habit ('sadăcchăra') do not take to wicked ways. Chant the Name of the Lord", says the mother. If the son refuses to do even this, he is not given up, but is sent elsewhere, provided with the necessities of life and is brought back at the appropriate time. He will definitely transform one day.

Other margas and Nama kirtan

 

 

But all I know is that 'Năma sankirtanam' (singing Lord's names) is the correct path for all.

 

 

Naamasankirtan is also a way advocated by the Vedas. Hence, we follow this path.

 

 

They might hesitate and ask, 'Can I, who have committed innumerable grievous sins, utter the pure Name of the Lord?' Such people need not hesitate or feel shy on this ground; they CAN sing the Divine Name of the Lord boldly and cheerfully!"

 

Having compassion of the Lord as the foundation, the one which has no rules, the one which can eradicate the force of Kali, Namakirtanam is the only resort. I think again and again
