नामसंकीर्तन वैष्णवांची जोडी ।

पापे अनंत कोटी गेली त्यांची ॥ १ ॥

अनंत जन्मांचे तप एक नाम ।

सर्व मार्ग सुगम हरिपाठ ॥ २ ॥

योग याग क्रिया धर्माधर्म माया ।

गेले ते विलया हरिपाठी ॥ ३ ॥

ज्ञानदेवी यज्ञ याग क्रिया धर्म ।

हरिविण नेम नाही दुजा ॥ ४ ॥

Chanting God's name is the only treasure desired by His true devotees;

By its power, the countess millions of sins are destroyed.

The chanting of His name once is a fruit of penance performed in the previous countless births

Amongst all paths it is the easiest pathway to Liberation.

 

For one who chants the name of God, Neither yoga nor the ritual of yajna is needed;

The injunctions of duty do not pertain to him; He transcends all illusion.

Jnanadev says: No other practices, Or rituals, or rules of conduct are necessary

For one who chants the name of Hari with love.

Only due to merits earned in crores of births does Bhagavan Năma come on our tongue

 

The one who chants the Divine Names of the Lord is above all religions and castes.

 

We come across many Gurus. Each one of them prescribes a path. Which one should be followed? What is to be done?

 

The path of Bhakti is, undoubtedly, the easiest of all mărgas to attain Bhagavăn; not only for this Yuga (Age) but also for all Yugăs

 

The fruit attained through the chanting of this single Name of the Lord cannot be attained through any other means. This is the easiest method.

 

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.

Whether your interest be in Yoga, Meditation or Vedanta, chanting Mahamantra for some time will purify your mind and enable you to proceed in your own path comfortably

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
