नित्यं संचिन्तयेद्देवं योगयुक्तो जनार्दनम्।

सास्य मन्ये परा रक्षा को हिनस्त्यच्युताश्रयम्।।

Centered in Yoga, one should daily meditate upon the Divine Names of Janardhana, this I consider to be the most powerful talisman, for who would dare to harm the followers of Achyuta.

The object of Japa and meditation is to enable you to dedicate all your actions to God.

Nama Article 2^nd August 2015

EPISTLES OF SWAMI RAMDAS

The object of Japa and meditation is to enable you to dedicate all your actions to God. Even when you are not able to do the practice of Japa etc., take it that all the work you are engaged in is being done by the power of God, by His will, and for His sake. Now you will realise that there is no irregularity in whatever you do. God does not want us to be tied down to a rule of discipline, by making it indispensable at all times. True freedom is to enjoy the bliss of the Eternal in all the turns and changes of life. Truly, there is no reason to worry when we have once for all understood that God does everything for the best. There appears to be, in fact there is, joy in repetition also, as in every thought, word and event.

Real freedom is in oneself when there is complete order. And that order comes only when we are a light to ourselves.

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

The only will we have is the freeing will of choosing to chant whenever we find mind wandering

"To remain how God wills" – being in this state is Bhagavatha Dharmam.

Remember the Lord always and be ever conscious of the fact that every moment is governed by the will and wish of Sri Krishna

You should not only accept from the bottom of your heart the situation that the Lord keeps you in but also be grateful to Him for that because it is verily the Lord's blessing!

When there is true love, even adversities appear to be blessings

It is not ours to question why, but to submit to the Divine will, and pass through all experiences that fall to our lot, with a free and cheerful heart.

We can resign ourselves to the Will of God and keep away our egosense, only by a continuous remembrance of God

It is a mistake to think that by mere change of situation or activity we can attain to peace

If one does not chant the divine Name of the Lord, the Lord will not interfere with his life. If he does chant the Name of God continuously, the Lord makes his life favorable to him.

மஹாரண்யம் ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ முரளீதர ஸ்வாமிஜி :

குழந்தைகளுக்கு ஸதா கேளிக்கைகளிலேயே நோக்கம் இருந்தாலும், பெற்றோர்களின் கண்டிப்பிற்காக பயந்து பள்ளிப்பாடங்களை படிப்பார்கள். ஆனால், அதனுடைய பலனை பிற்காலத்தில் அடைந்து க்ஷேமமாக இருப்பார்கள். அதுபோல், குருநாதரின் ப்ரீதியை ஸம்பாதித்துக்கொள்ள ஒருவன் செய்யும் ஸத்கார்யங்கள் அனைத்தும் அவனுக்கே க்ஷேமத்தை கொடுக்கும்.

HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Even if the children wish to be playful always they learn their school lessons because of the strictness of their parents. But they will get these benefits at a later date and would be happy. In the same way the good things done to please the Guru would give happiness to the person doing the same.

No one else pleases me the most than the ones who Chant Mahamantra!

Keerthanam is so dear to Krishna, Krishans's dear devotees live only on Keerthanam.

I chant the Mahamantra always. I like to serve my Guru. I do serve Him mentally as I cannot go out any where. Will my service reach Him?

The service that God entrusted upon my shoulders is to make the whole world sing the glory of His Divine Name! The service that God has entrusted upon your shoulders is to lend them to me! Blessings ! Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Most of you are running the Divine Name Centres (Namadwaars / GOD Satsangs) in your Towns/Villages/Cities and go about knocking at each door seeking alms - alms of Divine Name chanting! Your efforts shall not go in vain. The Maha Mantra the only way for redemption in Kali Yuga and is going to reverberate in every nook and corner of the world!

I am aware of every effort – small or big that is being put forth towards Mahamantra kirtan and am deeply moved by your love for me and commitment towards Nama

Though I preach about different paths, the path I follow is that of Bhakti Marga i.e chanting of Lord's name.

नामानि प्रणयेन ते सुकृतिनां तन्वन्ति तुण्डोत्सवं

धामानि प्रथयन्ति हन्त जलदश्यामानि नेत्राञ्जनम् ।

सामानि श्रुतिशुष्कलीं मुरलिकाजातान्यलंकुर्वते

कामानिर्वृतचेतसामपि विभो नाशापि नः शोभते ॥

Now that we have become Your devotees, Your holy names have affectionately created a jubilant festival in our mouths. Your bodily splendor, like a dark raincloud, has become the black decorative of our eyes, and the music of Your flute has become the ornament of our ears. We no longer take pleasure in material desires. O Almighty Lord, material desires no longer appear beautiful to us.

Preamble of Namadwaar, Nama Dwaar - Purpose and Plan

Is there any specialty in worshipping God on special days even though we are worshipping daily?

Universal brotherhood will become reality only if we all understand that we are all Children of the same Paramathma – Almighty – You Tube Video of Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji's Mass prayer discourse

Bhagavata Dharma opens the door for all. In this there does not exist the difference on the basis of religion, caste or creed. Even while saying 'Samacharana sarojam' of Panduranga it is only an expression of external feeling

This shows the equal treatment he metes out to all bhaktas. All he expects of people is 'bhajanam'.

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

Extracting the four syllables that are the heart of the four Vedas, Lord Hari makes the word Narayana. Day and night chanting this name, we become purified. We do not know any other better way to please Lord Hari.

The purpose of all rituals and duties is to please the Lord. Nothing else pleases the Lord as much as the chanting of the Divine names. So, chanting the divine names of the Lord is sufficient.

No one else pleases me the most than the ones who Chant Mahamantra!

If you want something from someone, you have to make him happy. Only then you will receive what you want. Similarly, if you want God's grace,……..
