Srimad Bhagavatham 7:6:1

 

कौमार आचरेत् प्राज्ञो धर्मान् भागवतान् इह

दुर्लभं मानुषं जन्म तद् अप्य् अध्रुवम् अर्थदम्

यथा हि पुरुषस्येह विष्णोः पादोपसर्पणम्

यद् एष सर्व-भूतानां प्रिय आत्मेश्वरः सुहृत्

 

In this life, a wise human should engage and involve oneself in the path followed by exalted devotees, namely Bhagavatha Dharma, right from childhood. Because human birth is most rarely achieved, and although temporary like other beings, it is meaningful because in human life alone one Chant the Divine Names of the Lord.

 

The only course advisable for a man in this world is to betake himself to the feet of Lord Vishnu for He is the Lord and the beloved friend, nay, the very self, which is full of love, of all created beings.

Srimad Bhagavatham adds that one should learn Bhagavatha Dharma (which is nothing but chanting of the Divine Name of God) from such a Guru by which Sri Hari is pleased.

 

Only in the company of Sadhus is 'premai' experienced in one's heart.

 

மனிதப்பிறவியும் முக்தியில் ஆசையும், மகான்களின் ஸஙகமும் உந்தீபற! அரிதினும் அரிதாமென்று உந்தீபற!

 

To have the opportunity to serve a Mahatma in some way is indeed the rarest of the rarest.

 

Which is rare for people to get ? Adisankara says, "Devotion to Hari."

 

Three things which are rare indeed and are obtained only due to the grace of God

 

To come in contact with a great soul is indeed the rarest of the rare. The results of such an association is subtle, incomprehensible and unfailing in its effect.

 

The Sanathana Dharma is universally true. While the Dharma cannot be changed, the alternative is to adapt the right kind of Dharma, apt for the age. That is verily the Bhagavata Dharma, which is nothing but chanting of the Divine Name of God

 

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
