Ram Nam is unfailing in its action, infallible in its operation.

POWER OF 'RAM NAM' by Swami Sivananda

Ram Nam has a transforming effect not only on the psycholgical but also the biological personality. Even physical ailments can be overcome by the chanting of the Divine Name. Ram Nam is unfailing in its action, infallible in its operation. Ram Nam, properly understood, is the same as Omkara, the symbol of the Absolute, and Rama to the true devotee is the Absolute itself. Sri Rama is all-pervading; He is in the heart of all beings as the Antaryamin. What a power and glory should His Name possess! Even ordinary names of things of the world have the power of stimulating a corresponding mode of consciousness in man. How much more powerful should the Name of God be!

If you practice this, all your actions will get transformed into prayer. Performance of duties, side by side with recital of God’s Names will then become easy.

BHAGAVATHA DHARMAM - First Skandham - Swami Abhedananda

Devoid of Bhakthi (devotion), Jnana (knowledge) and Vairagya (detachment) are useless. Hatred is man's greatest enemy. Listen to the stories of God. Also try to follow the principles underlying those stories in actual life.

Man's spiritual uplift is impossible if he cannot get rid of anger. Prayer to God should not be postponed till the completion of house-hold duties. Attend to those duties after finishing your prayer. If you practice this, all your actions will get transformed into prayer. Performance of duties, side by side with recital of God's Names will then become easy.

Who does not crave for respect, but respects others, is the one fit to repeat the Name of Hari

Nama Article 6^th Jul 2016

POWER OF 'RAM NAM' by Swami Sivananda

"Trinadapi sunichena tarorapi sahishnuna, Amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih—He who is humbler than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, who does not crave for respect, but respects others, is the one fit to repeat the Name of Hari."

God helps those who help themselves. The best possible effort that one is capable of exercising under the intellectual circumstances provided by God should be put forth, and only beyond this effort, should one seek the grace of God. Idleness is not self-surrender. Surrender of the self to God becomes complete only when the individual consciousness is flooded over the love for the Divine. God's grace descends when the efforts exercised are found to be inadequate for the realisation of God.

Let your words recite the Lord's divine Names. Let your eyes see everything as different forms of the Lord. This practice will purify your mind very quickly.

Attraction towards worldly pleasures is the main reason for not getting full concentration during meditation of God. So, put in constant efforts to develop dispassion towards worldly objects.

The devotee should not test the Lord by the chanting of His Name

Nama Article 1st Jul 2016

POWER OF 'RAM NAM' by Swami Sivananda

The devotee should not test the Lord by the chanting of His Name. For example, one should not use the Name as an excuse for the deliberate perpetration of evil acts. The Name can overcome the effects of even such acts, but the implications of such acts would be that the devotee who uses the Name thus has not genuine aspiration and devotion to the Lord, and his mind is still being attracted to things other than those that pertain to the Lord and to His Way. Hence the condition for chanting the Divine Name is well laid out.
