A poem by Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Glory unto thee….Oh! Mind!

I salute thy unmatched courage!

 

Natural calamities could spell doom in a flash

And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed

Without seeking the real solution

Which goes by the name '"liberation"

 

Violence may erupt at the blink of an eye

And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed

Without seeking the real solution

Which goes by the name "liberation"

 

Accidents are queuing to occur at the next chance

And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed

Without seeking the real solution

Which goes by the name "liberation"

 

Vicious beasts stalk you every moment

And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed

Without seeking the real solution

Which goes by the name "liberation"

 

Age has taken its toll and marches on relentlessly

And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed

Without seeking the real solution

Which goes by the name "liberation"

 

Disease has ravaged you and waits to afflict mercilessly

And yet daring you are to live on unperturbed

Without seeking the real solution

Which goes by the name "liberation"

 

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"

 

Glory unto thee….Oh! Mind!

I salute thy unmatched courage!

Be simple, egoless and innocent like a child and have entire trust in Him, and He is yours. Have His Name on your lips.

Nama Article 21st May 2009

 

Swami Papa Ramdas

 

The beauty of the relationship between the devotee and God is unsurpassing as it is unique and most exalted. The devotee plays with his eternal Beloved talks to Him, moves with Him, sees Him on all sides, lives always in His company and enjoys the rarest delight.

 

For this communion you need no philosophy, no rigorous discipline, no learning, no worldly wealth and position. The more you are shorn of these obstructive appurtenances, the better for your approach and union with Him.

 

Be simple, egoless and innocent like a child and have entire trust in Him, and He is yours. Have His Name on your lips. Make your heart His throne. Your life be like a fragrant flower at His feet. Throw your pride to the dust by becoming humble. Life has no message for you if you have not attained to this blessed state. All else is vain and vexatious.

The Lord is playing a game of joy with the whole universe as His stage to play up. There is nothing but joy here. Take the Name of Krishna and live in joy.

Nama Article 17th July 2009

The Lord is playing a game of joy with the whole universe as His stage to play up. He remains seated in the centre with His own Maya surrounding Him on all sides.

 

We are all players. The play ends as soon as we touch Him. At the centre Maya is carefully shielding all sides and is not allowing easy passage to any body. Afraid of a touch of Maya we are running helter skelter in search of a way in the envelope of Maya.

 

Dear, this play is for joy only and it must be taken that those who find no joy in it are not in their senses. There is nothing but joy here. Take the Name of Krishna and live in joy. There will be danger if you deviate from the God. We have all come here to worship Krishna, may we be able to accomplish that.

Illusion fails to get hold of him who remains deeply absorbed in Sri Krishna’s Name and love.

Nama Article 16th July 2009

 

Source: Pagal Harnath letters

 

There is nothing higher than Sri Krishna's name. The object of man's life is to adore Sri Krishna. Forgetting this, he allows himself to be fettered by his actions.

 

'When a man forgets that he is an all-time Chartered servant of God, Matter, the mother of illusion, drawing round his neck tightens her cord'

 

Mother! Forgetting Sri Krishna, men become slaves of illusion forever. Hence, I say, do not forget him. The means by which Sri Krishna can be reached is to take His name and to remain saturated in it. O mother, one who gets immersed in very cold water, the scorching rays of sun cannot effect in the least. Although those on land give vent to distressful wailings, the intense heat of sun cannot do anything to the man under water. Similarly, Illusion, notwithstanding all her efforts, fails to get hold of him who remains deeply absorbed in Sri Krishna's Name and love.

 

I do not know of anything efficacious without Sri Krishna's Name; that is why I beg of you to have always recourse to it. Name, taken constantly, culminates in love for him, which in time leads to the beloved Krishna.

His nectarine Name can, in a moment, bring God vision, and take them to the peak of spiritual illumination.

Swami Papa Ramdas:

 

People who are on the Godward path seek to know the easiest means to focus the mind upon Him, to arrest the restless nature of it, to realise His presence, and to get a glimpse of His vision.

 

They struggle to achieve this end in various ways. Ramdas can assure them with all the force of the blissful experience which God has granted him that His nectarine Name can, in a moment, bring them God vision, and take them to the peak of spiritual illumination.

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

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Though you love him or her always, the birthday of your dearest friend or relative is special to you. You celebrate it as an expression of your love towards him/her, do you not?

 

When you shower your divine love and devotion to God, it is called Bhakti.

 

Hence you celebrate days that are auspicious to that Divine Name and Form that you love the most.  

 

3rd July 2009 is a special day - 'Ãshãda Ekãdasi'.
