Remembering the embrace of the Lord’s lotus feet, he does not want to leave them where he experiences the highest form of bliss

Nama Article 14th July 2015


Srimad Bhagavatham

न वै जनो जातु कथञ्चनाव्रजेन्मुकुन्दसेव्यन्यवदंग संसृतिं।

स्मरन्मुकुन्दांघ्र्युपगूहनं पुनर्विहातुमिच्छेन्न रसग्रहो यतः ॥

[1:5:19]


One who is a devotee of Mukunda will never again  return to the cycle of births and deaths like other persons. Remembering the embrace of the Lord's lotus feet, he does not want to leave them where he experiences the highest form of bliss

One can easily attain me by intense loving devotion to me; but not so easily by other sadhanas


When one believes in the grace of the Lord alone and totally surrenders to Him, he is liberated in the very same birth.


While speaking on Bhakti marga alone Lord Says.........


Likewise, it would suffice if we do not block the Grace that is being sent out.


God's grace always flows in abundance. It is upto you to be ready to receive it.


What is the secret of success?


It is up to you to choose the most apt means of transport given your current load of luggage and various other factors


The spirit of Devotion cultivated by the recitation of His Name is the best form of virtue and this alone has been declared to be the paramount duty that should be practiced in this world.


That love, can sprout only by his grace. His grace descends when we chant the Mahamantra.


The intention of continued chanting of the Divine names is to take one to the state of total selfless, unconditional LOVE


Everything in our life is predetermined. All we have to do is to turn and fix our mind on Him!


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 about this with in Myself

Oh (soul)! Chant the auspicious name of Sri Hari every second. Where is the faith that the breath that has gone out will come back in?

Nama Article 13th July 2015


अरे भज हरेर्नाम क्षेमधाम क्षणे क्षणे

बहिस्सरति निःश्वासे विश्वासः कः प्रवर्तते


- गुरुकौमुदी


Oh (soul)! Chant the auspicious name of Sri Hari every second. Where is the faith that the breath that has gone out will come back in?

Secret that will help you realize happiness in whatever you do

Every moment of our life that is spent without the thought of God is indeed a waste.

Contemplate Krishna's name every moment; your mind will become steady

Death awaits your day with its jaws open heartlessly, And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed, Without seeking the real solution, Which goes by the name "liberation"

kalakshebo na kartavyah, kshenamaayuh kshane kshane, yamasya karuna naasti, kartavyam hari kirtanam.

Every moment of your life should be taken as His gift.  Be rest assured that every incident that happens is by His grace and happens for your well-being.

Guru Nanak felt that it would be improper to postpone Nama Smarana or remembering the Name of the Lord, even by a single breath

The thought that seize out one's mind for life long period would surely, strongly surface during the last breath

That unshakable faith in Rama Nama remained with him till his last breath.

The human body is a rare boon to embodied souls and that too is very transient (momentary, short-lived, temporary)

Now the essential purport of the whole scripture, the Gita, which is meant for Liberation, is being stated by summing it up so that it may be practised

Nama Article 10th July 2015


Srimad Bhagavad Gita (11:55)


English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda


Now the essential purport of the whole scripture, the Gita, which is meant for Liberation, is being stated by summing it up so that it may be practised.

(अधुना सर्वस्य गीताशास्त्रस्य सारभूतः अर्थः निःश्रेयसार्थः अनुष्ठेयत्वेन समुच्चित्य उच्यते)


मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्तः सङ्गवर्जितः।

निर्वैरः सर्वभूतेषु यः स मामेति पाण्डव।


English Translation By Swami Sivananda


He who does all actions for Me, who looks upon Me as the Supreme, who is devoted to Me, who is free from attachment, who bears enmity towards no creature, he comes to Me, O Arjuna.


English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda


Pandava, O son of Pandu; yah, he who;

mat-karma-krt, works for Me: work for Me is mat-karma; one who does it is mat-karma-krt-.

Mat-paramah, who accepts Me as the supreme Goal:

A servant does work for his master, but does not accept the master as his own supreme Goal to be attained after death; his one, however, who does work for Me, accepts Me alone as the supreme Goal.

Thus he is matparamah-one to whom I am the supreme Goal-. So also he who is madbhaktah, devoted to me: He adores Me alone in all ways, with his whole being and full enthusiasm. Thus he is madbhaktah-.

Sanga-varjitah, who is devoid of attachment for wealth, sons, friends, wife and relatives, Sanga means fondness, love; devoid of them-.

Nirvairah, who is free from enimity; sarva-bhutesu, towards all beings-berefit of the idea of enmity even towards those engaged in doing unmost harm to him-.

Sah, he who is such a devotee of Mine; eti, attains; mam, Me. I alone am his supreme Goal; he does not attain any other goal.

This is the advice for you, given by Me as desired by you.

Real tolerance, real national integration and compassion can come about only through such Mahans who have attained Oneness with God.
