Though I am praying to God always and participate in Nama Sankirtanam, Bhajan, Sahasranamam, Tiruppugazh etc., after attending few days in between, again the laziness creeps in.When I am not attending the Bhajan etc., my mind also becomes sad and I get troubled with confusion. How do I overcome this laziness and have a regular satsang to be happy always?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
There is no other best satsang than the Divine Name of the Lord.
That will be equivalent to all the bhajans and satsangs you attend traveling far and wide.Stay in your home and chant the Mahamantra always.That is the greatest shelter one can get.
When you chant the Mahamantra continuously, your laziness will also go away.
There is no distinction between the Divine Name and the Divinity Himself; for the Name is the invaluable wish fulfilling gem that has come down to this earth as an incarnation of the blissful consciousness of the Divinity.
God is realized by following the path of truth. One should always chant His name. Even while one is performing one's duties, the mind should be left with God.
Suppose I have a sore on my back. I perform my duties, but the mind is drawn to the sore.

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Why is it 7 days and not 6 or 5 or 8 days? What is the validation for this?
Sage Narada tells his disciple child Dhruva about the place called Madhuvanam near Vrindavan, on the banks of the Yamuna for doing tapas (to do penance and austerities).
पुण्यं मधुवनं यत्र सान्निध्यं नित्यदा हरेः
He also describes the form of the Lord and gives 'upadesa' of the very important Mantra - 'Dwãdasãkshari Mantra' that contains 12 letters.
Then Sage Narada advices him to repeat the Mantra for seven days ( "Sapta-rãrtam prapatan!' - "Chant for seven days!" - यं सप्तरात्रं प्रपठन्)
Thus, Narada advises the rule of that Mantra Shastra - "Chant for 7 days."
Since 7 days is a 'vidhi' (rule/regulation) for Mantras, we perform 'Nãma Saptãha Yajna' (Chanting Mahamntra for 7 days). Srimad Bhãgavatam is also performed as 'Saptãham' (reading for 7 days). There are 'sapta samudram' (7 oceans), 'sapta punya nadhi' (7 Holy rivers), 'sapta mokshapuri' (7 liberation bestowing Holy Cities). Our Religion speaks of the significance of 7.
