HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
All that we do viz. meditation (dhyana), chanting the DivineName (namajapa), Yoga,Self- enquiry (atmavichara) for attaining God will never go in vain. One has to attain the Lord: if not in this birth God has to be attained in some birth. One has to do sadhana (spiritualpractice) in that birth, is it not? Better late than never. When one is afflicted with a disease all that we can do is to admit him in a hospital for treatment. It is the doctor who has to discharge and send him backhome. Similarly, until we attain the state of liberation we have to be born again and again, and meet with death. Further, this humanbirth has been given by the Lord only to erase out the sins earned over several births; this is truly a boon given by the Lord.

Swami Papa Ramdas
The Name is compared to a bridge that connects both the banks of a river. The banks represent the personal and impersonal aspects of the Divine. By becoming a votary of the Name you have the vision of the personal God on one side and knowledge of the Impersonal on the other. But you must get the taste of the Name, and not take it mechanically. The mind must be attuned to the Name.
All the attributes of God must flash before our mind when we take the Name, because the Name is the very embodiment of God. When the mind is attuned to the Name and tastes its sweetness, it is as good as tasting God Himself and we attain liberation in this very life.

There has been a lot of questions if our philosophy is Advaitham or Vishistaadvaitham or Dvaitham or Achintya Bhedaabheda, etc. When we brought this to our beloved Sri Swamiji's notice, this is the divine response from Sri Swamiji:
'Even amongst the various mathas (sects) which accept the Vedas, there are some sub-sects within the Vedic Religion of Sanatana Dharma which do not accept a Supreme God like Sankhya system of philosophy. We generally know only three main philosophies in Vedanta – Advaitham, Vishistaadvaitham and Dvaitham, but there are many more systems of philosophies like Suddhaadvaitham by Sri Vallabhacharya, Eka-Deiva-Vaadam by an Assamese Acharya (Sri Sankaradeva), Sivaadvaitham by Sri Appayya Dikshitar and many more! So there are many systems of philosophies like this in this world!
Even within Advaitha systems, there many subsects like Ajaata Vaadam, Shrusti Dhrusti Vaadam, Dhrusti Shrusti Vaadam and so on. Similarly in Sri Vaishnava Samparadaya philosophy there are two main sub sects – Vadakalai and Thenkalai...'
So Sri Swamiji said whatever philosophy these Mahaans have established, we never criticize, nor do we object to any Mahatma. We find all philosophies acceptable.
What is our philosophy then?
Chant mahamantra and realize the ultimate
What is that ultimate is the decision of Krishna.
This is verily our philosophy.
