I actually take refuge in the soles of the feet of the Supreme by Chanting your Divine Names, he secures from You every object sought for by him.

Srimad Bhagavatham 12:8:44

 

तद् वै भजाम्य् ऋत-धियस् तव पाद-मूलं

हित्वेदम् आत्म-च्छदि चात्म-गुरोः परस्य

देहाद्य् अपार्थम् असद् अन्त्यम् अभिज्ञ-मात्रं

विन्देत ते तर्हि सर्व-मनीषितार्थम्

 

Sri Markandeya says, "Therefore turning my back upon this body and all that is connected with it – which obscures the Self and serves no real purpose, is unsubstantial and transient, and is only a mere illusion on the base of the Self, I actually take refuge in the soles of the feet of the Supreme by Chanting your Divine Names, The Embodiment of true wisdom, the Director of the soul; for if a man resorts to those feet, he secures from You every object sought for by him.

 

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

 

மண்ணுலக ஆசைகளும் விண்ணுலக ஆசைகளும் கணப்பொழுதில் நல்கிடும் கீர்த்தனம் பாடீரே!

Oh, ye, sing! Oh, ye, sing! The HYMN which in a moment fulfills worldly and heavenly aspirations!

 

अकामः सर्वकामो वा मोक्षकाम उदारधीः ।

 

It will bestow all kinds of welfare, material and spiritual........

 

When we chant 'Krishna Krishna! Krishna Krishna! Krishna Krishna!'.....

 

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.

 

I am not able to find any way other than the repeated chanting of the Divine Names to gain the purushartas of dharma, artha, kama and moksha in this age of Kali

 

For him who seeks his own good in the shape of what is known by the names of Dharma (religious merit), Artha (wordly riches), Kama (desires) and Moksha (final beatitude), adoration of Sri Hari's feet is the only means to that end.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

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