நமக்கு த்யான சக்தி, கர்மானுஷ்டான சக்தி, பூஜை பண்ணும் சக்தி எதுவும் இல்லை. "கிருஷ்ணா, ராமா" என்று நாமாவைச் சொல்கிற சக்தி தான் இருக்கிறது. நாமாவே காப்பாற்றிவிடும் என்பது வாஸ்தவந்தான்.

ஆனாலும் அதற்காக பிரம்ம ஸ்ருஷ்டியிலிருந்து வந்திருக்கிற வேதங்களை அழிந்து போகும் படிப் பண்ணலாமா ? அது பெரிய நஷ்டமல்லவா?

We don't have the capability to perform either Dhyana, Ritual rites and Pooja. We are capable only to Chant the Divine names of "Krishna, Rama". Its true that Divine names alone would protect us.

Still can we allow the Vedas to die which have originated from the Supreme Himself ? Will that not be a great loss ?

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

"You advocate that only Nãmasankirtan is the way to attain Liberation ('Moksha'). Why then should we protect the Vedas? What is the need for learning the Vedas?" ………

If by any chance the Vedas die, then there would be no base to demark the right from the wrong.

Dhyana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Jnana - All these paths need to be taught, but only Nama Sankirtan can be propagated. That verily shows its simplicity.

Though a great marga, in today's world, it is just impossible to follow the Karma marga as prescribed in our Vedas

Naamasankirtan is also a way advocated by the Vedas. Hence, we follow this path.

We have little capacity to meditate, perform rituals and puja. But we are capable of chanting the names of the Lord - Krishna, Rama, and so on. It is true that by muttering the names of the Lord we will be liberated.

What is the essence of all the Shastras, the Brahma Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, etc.

"I lay in a kneeling posture in the cart itself, shocked as I was, repeating RAMA RAMA, the only spiritual prayer I knew, during the rest of my journey"

The truth of the four Vedas is the Nama of the Lord "Namachivaya" and the one who chants the Divine Name with selfless love is uplifted to the glorious path

Karma Yoga is indeed very hard. Bhakti Yoga indeed is the law of this age
