Only by Chanting the Divine names of the Lord one becomes fully cleansed and the mind does not get attached to sinful actions again.

Nama Article 25th August 2011

 

Srimad Bhagavatham (6:2:46)

 

नातः परं कर्म-निबन्ध-कृन्तनं

मुमुक्षतां तीर्थ-पदानुकीर्तनात्

न यत् पुनः कर्मसु सज्जते मनो

रजस्-तमोभ्यां कलिलं ततो'न्यथा

 

For those seeking liberation there is nothing more efficacious in cutting the root of sin that Chanting the Names of the Lord.

 

No other atonement would remove the latent impressions which would induce the rajasic and tamasic thoughts.

 

Only by Chanting the Divine names of the Lord one becomes fully cleansed and the mind does not get attached to sinful actions again.

When Krishna is inside you, how can you ever be a sinner?

Nama Article 22nd August 2011

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

When Krishna is inside you, how can you ever be a sinner?

 

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

 

For a Krishna devotee, life is blissful!

 

No wonder, Lord Krishna attracts one and all

 

Festivals like Gokulashtami are also meant to overcome idleness, bring in cheerfulness and promote social interaction

 

The purpose of Incarnation of Sri Krishna is to give to the world - His Name, His attractive Form and His various leelas

 

Born in a 'Karagraha' (prison), Sri Krishna entered the 'Garbagraha' (the sanctum) just for the sake of 'Anugraha' (gracing us)

 

Janmashtami Message from Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

The Nama is verily the propeller of the ship. The captain of this ship is none other than Sri Krishna Himself!

 

Sri Krishna says; I protect those who have surrendered unto me and look up to me for their protection

 

For all questions he had only one reply, "One should perform Krishna Namakirtan"

 

When you chant do not bother whether your mind wavers or not. Nama will take care of that.....proceed doubtlessly with faith in the words of the Guru

 

Swamiji, You talk only of Bhakti towards Krishna. Why?

Sri Narayana Tirtha’s Krishna Leela Tarangini - Namasiddhanta Gitam

Nama Article 18th August 2011

 

Sri Narayana Tirtha's Krishna Leela Tarangini - Namasiddhanta Gitam

 

The Gitam 'Ramakrishna Govindeti' is perhaps one of the most enchanting and sumptuous descriptions of the greatness of Chanting the Divine names making it the Namasiddhanta Gitam. The enunciation could not have been clearer or more emphatic. Says Sri Narayana Tirtha : The three holy names — Rama (Ganga) , Krishna (Yamuna), Govinda (Saraswathi) — constitute a Prayag, a most holy and venerated confluence.

 

A dip in this Prayag, in the form of a reverential utterance of these three sacred names, has no reference to direction, location and time - the chanting of these three names can be done at any place, any time and facing any direction and is with in easy reach of all. He reiterates Namasiddhantha and says that the practice of Chanting the Divine Names ensures beatitude – liberation through jnana, sumptuously aided by the ocean of the Satguru's compassion.

 

It brings the Supreme experience with in easy reach of the devotee. Even the Paramahamsas, yogins (the liberated souls) derive bliss from a bath in the confluence of these three hallowed names. It fulfills all worldly and heavenly aspirations!

 

It is the essence of all Vedas and scriptures and grants lasting peace by giving deliverance from all sufferings. Chanting of Divine names is not dependent on  baths, sandhyas, japas, ceremonies like tarpana, homa (by the medium of agni : fire) — and is the safest path where one cannot commit any mistake. The Namasankirtana-Prayag produces the complete Brahmanandam which is constant and beyond rise or fall.

 

One can immerse in this Divine Prayag by remembering the Divine Name in the heart, with the tongue uttering these holy names and the whole body engaged by happily dancing to the tune of Divine Names.

 

The Prayag of Namasankirtanam will by itself grant Devotion, detachment and Jnana (supreme knowledge) and will yield the fruit of true self-realization without getting tied up with sacrificial rites, yoga or renunciation.

 

The Prayag of these three names helps one to realise the Supreme by easily crossing the treacherous samsara (worldly life). Says, Sadhu Narayana Tirtha, that Chanting the Divine names, dispels the darkness of all types of sins and brings the light of Joy.
