The glory of the Divine Names cannot be understood by logic, reasoning or argument.

Nama Article 28th June 2012

 

The glory of the Divine Names cannot be understood by logic, reasoning or argument.

 

The name and the state of objects of the world cannot be said to be same. But the Lord and his Name are same. Uttering the word fire does not burn one's tongue. But that's not the case with the Divine name.

 

Irrespective of the intention with which one chants the Divine names, it purifies him.

Those who chant the Mahamantra even once in this Kali Yuga are assured of 'Moksha' (liberation)

 

If you utter the Divine Name of the Lord, it will eliminate all your sins without leaving any residue.

 

Any person who Chants the Name of Krishna even only once, no matter, whether said devoutly or disdainfully, would cross the ocean of life.

 

Nama Kirtan, whether done knowingly or unknowingly, certainly has to give its effect

 

Nama Chanted unknowingly also wipes out all of one's sins

 

Those who Chant the Name anyhow, reach the Supreme with great honour and without effort.

 

The Name of God, chanted correctly or incorrectly, knowingly or unknowingly, carefully, is sure to give the desired result.

 

Whats the result of the Divine Name uttered helplessly?

 

Nama Chanted unknowingly also wipes out all of one's sins

 

A fallen, slipped or pained person is redeemed from all sins, if he cries out loudly his surrender unto Lord Hari even while sneezing

 

Namakirtan is definitely the easiest way. But our illusion (maya) would not allow us to do even that. Hence we should not get caught in the illusion.

With a human mind, it is impossible to know what would happen in future. But one thing, you can be certain: Lord Rama is always right.

Nama Article 27th June 2012

 

I am writing 'Ram Nam' and it has solved many problems of mine and fulfilled many desires. But one crucial desire of mine alone is not getting fulfilled. Why is this happening?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

That may be because Lord Rama feels that if this particular desire of yours gets fulfilled, it may create problems in the future. With a human mind, it is impossible to know what would happen in future. But one thing, you can be certain: Lord Rama is always right.

One thing can be said for certain. God is perfect. An imperfection cannot come from the perfect.

 

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!

 

Even though I believe in God, I struggle a lot. Does my fate play such an important role in my life?

 

God is very compassionate because everything in our life is predetermined. No effort need be taken by us in that direction. All we have to do is to turn and fix our mind on Him!

 

Words of wisdom by a great Gnani and a true bhaktha

 

Chanting the Divine Name can change the fate

 

If there is faith, then there is no fate

 

In fact, developing an interest in the Divine Name is but a manifestation of God's grace

 

By constantly chanting the Maha Mantra, one can pray to the Lord to give the sense of discrimination

 

Let His Name be ever with you; Imperceptibly, relentlessly time is creeping away. Divine Name can change one's fate.

 

If there is faith, then there is no fate.

 

Chanting the Divine Name can change the fate

 

What power do these planets possess, Rama? It is only your 'anugraha' (Blessings) that are truly powerful 

 

The effect of karma can be counteracted to a great extent by Japa and austerities

He calculated the ultimate profit - 'the income from the bribe is 1,00,000 rupees and the expense for obliterating the sin is only 10,000 rupees. I stand to gain 90,000 rupees'.

 

Which atonement ('prãyaschiita') is the best?

 

Why atonement by Chanting of the Divine Names of God is superior to others ?

 

Don't stop chanting for any reason. The rest of the things will be taken care of automatically.

 

And through constant repetition of the Name after the removal of sin, new sins cannot accumulate; just as when the light is kept burning in the room it can never be dark again

 

For whom there is no sin ? Adisankara says "For one who chants the Divine Name"

 

The only atonement (Praayachitham) which alone is capable of nullifying all the errors completely....

 

A person is deemed to have done atonement (not only for the sins of this life but) even for the sins comitted through millions of lives (in the past)  in that he uttered, though in a helpless state, the name of Sri Hari

Divine name is beyond all restrictions - परं संकीर्तनादेव राम रामेति मुच्यते

Chanting the Name of the Lord is the easiest and surest path as there is no scope for any negative effects

 

Of all religious practices, japa (repetition of divine name) is said to be the supreme practice - Adi Shankara

 

The ONLY religion for this age - The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

You have wished for 'Dharma', 'Artha' (wealth), 'Kama' (ambitions) and 'Moksha' (God). All these four can be attained by performing service to Lord Sri Hari.
