மஹாரண்யம் ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ முரளீதர ஸ்வாமிஜி

சாஸ்திரங்கள், நாமகீர்த்தனம் பாவத்தை போக்கும், புண்யத்தை தரும் என்று சொல்லி உள்ளது. இதே பாகவத தர்மத்தை, பல மஹான்கள் கடைப்பிடித்து முக்தியை அடைந்துள்ளார்கள்

How does Namakirtan eliminate sins and bestows virtues?

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Sastras have said that Namakirtan will eliminate sins and bestow virtues.

Various Mahans have treaded this same path of Bhagavatha Dharma and have attained liberation.

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

The way to Liberation though rational should be a path shown by the Vedas there is no other recourse: all other methods are of no use

The greatness of this Dharma is evident from the fact that it is bestowed by the Lord himself. Moreover, it is very simple. No obstacles can come while adhering this Dharma. We can go blind folded while following this path and even a layman, who knows nothing, can attain the supreme state in spirituality by following this path.

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

What is Bhagavata dharma? Showing the way to the Almighty even to the lowliest of the lowly is Bhagavata dharma.

Bhagavata Dharma is a reformation measure indeed!

Would it not amount to grave injustice if one shows a difficult path to the world ?

Therefore, who is a Sadguru? The one who calls all the people in this Kali Yuga and gives the 'upadesa', "Utter the Name of the Lord. You can attain God!" Only such a one is a Sadguru.
