Guru and Namakirtan: We should not be bothered about the wavering mind. We should not stop the Chanting of Divine Names because of that. Wavering mind is common for all.

Bhagawan Yogiramsuratkumar

எப்படியேனும், நாமத்தை சொல்லிக் கொண்டிருத்தல் முக்கியம். மனம் அலைவதைப் பற்றிக் கவலைபடாதே. அதனால், நாமம் சொல்வதை விட்டு விடாதே. மனம் அலைவது என்பது எல்லோருக்கும் நடக்கக்கூடியதே. இந்தப் பிச்சைகாரனுக்கும் அது உண்டு. (பெரும் சிரிப்பு)

Its important that we continue to Chant the Divine Names by any means. We should not be bothered about the wavering mind. We should not stop the Chanting of Divine Names because of that. Wavering mind is common for all. This beggar also has that. (Big laughter)

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Therefore, just as we bathe, wear clothes, eat food, etc. whether our mind is involved in it or not, so too, should we do a certain amount of Năma japa, părayana, kirtana, vandanam every day

Mechanical chanting is the only starting point we can attempt. It matures to love by grace.

Mechanical chanting is the starting phase. It will soon graduate to mental chanting and soon this mental one-pointed chanting will lead to the source of the chant, which is the truth.

Those who chant the Mahamantra even once in this Kali Yuga are assured of 'Moksha' (liberation)

It is impossible for anyone to do continuous Dhyana, Yoga or Brahma-Vichara or to observe austerities like fasting or vigil. But the Name can be chanted continuously even if it is mechanical.

Nama Kirtan, whether done knowingly or unknowingly, certainly has to give its effect

Nama Chanted unknowingly also wipes out all of one's sins

Japa even once uttered has its own good effect, whether the individual is aware or not.

The same scriptures also state that one should follow the words of the Guru without any doubts or questions and act accordingly.

Is chanting while doing work considered as meaningful chanting ?

Don't stop chanting for any reason. The rest of the things will be taken care of automatically.
