HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Although water and ghee are liquids, they evoke opposite reactions when poured on fire. Ghee kindles the fire, whereas water extinguishes it. Likewise, although worldly matters and the Divine Names of God are just thoughts, they initiate opposite reactions in the mind.


Worldly matters expand the mind, whereas the Divine Names of God destroys it, thus leading one to self realization.

Constant Japa (recital of God’s Names) easily brings peace of mind. By Japa the mind gets cleared of all impurities and wavering. Therefore, place strong reliance on the holy Names of God.

Nama Article 23rd Dec 2016


BHAGAVATHA DHARMAM - Third Skandham - Swami Abhedananda

Union of Atma (individual soul) with Paramatma (Supreme Soul) is Pramananda.(supreme bliss)

Constant Japa (recital of God's Names) easily brings peace of mind. By Japa the mind gets cleared of all impurities and wavering. Therefore, place strong reliance on the holy Names of God.

Keep the mind under control using discrimination. Contentment of the soul is not derived from the enjoyment of pleasures. Renunciation is what gives contentment. If the mind goes astray give it a thrashing with the stick of discrimination. Mind disciplined by discrimination can be controlled easily.

By dwelling mentally on Him, you are doing Jnana Yoga, by chanting His name, it is Bhakti Yoga and dedicating all your actions to Him makes it Karma Yoga

Mother Krishnabai


Papa taught me to contemplate on Him and His universal attributes all the time — that would be work for the mind; to chant Ram Nam constantly — that would be work for the tongue and regard whatever I did with my hands, whatever movements my limbs had, as His service. Do you read the Gita? (The visitors nod their heads in the affirmative). Then, you will understand what I mean.


By dwelling mentally on Him, you are doing Jnana Yoga, by chanting His name, it is Bhakti Yoga and dedicating all your actions to Him makes it Karma Yoga. When you do all the things together, you will only be carrying out the injunction of the Gita.

Though recognizing the pleasures of sense to consist of sorrow (alone) is yet unable to relinquish them should therefore lovingly worship Me by means of hearing and chanting My names and stories etc

Nama Article 4th Dec 2016


Srimad Bhagavatham 11:20:28


जातश्रद्धो मत्कथासु निर्विण्णः सर्वकर्मसु।

वेद दुःखात्मकान्कामान्परित्यागेऽप्यनीश्वरः।।

ततो भजेत मां प्रीतः श्रद्धालुर् दृढ-निश्चयः ।

जुषमाणश् च तान् कामान् दुःखोदर्कांश् च गर्हयन् ।।


He who has reverence for My stories developed (in his heart) and has lost (every) charm for all activities (but not for their rewards) and, though recognizing the pleasures of sense to consist of sorrow (alone) is yet unable to relinquish them should therefore lovingly worship Me (by means of hearing and chanting My names and stories etc.), full of faith and firm in his conviction (that everything will be accomplished through Devotion alone) and enjoying those pleasures while condemning them as attended with misery.

I became the votary of Thy name and was blessed beyond measure

Nama Article 3rd Dec 2016


Source: The Vision

Swami Papa Ramdas


There is a charm, a magic power, in Thy name. It catches hold of people and turns them into Gods.

Thy name roots out all desires and bestows immortal peace and joy. The darkness of the soul is dispelled by Thy name flooding it with Divine illumination.

What is it that Thy name cannot do? All good things flow from it. When Thy name enters the heart of the miser, he becomes a benefactor of the world. It transforms the cruel man into an image of compassion. Thy name removes hate from the heart, infusing love. It awakens the soul and drives off torpor and ignorance. Where there is narrowness of outlook, Thy name grants universal vision.

When Thy name, sung by Thy devotees, rings in my ears, I am not only thrilled, but my entire being is filled with ecstasy, O! What power is in Thy name! Saints sing its glory tirelessly. And I, Thy child, attune my tiny voice with theirs in extolling Thy name. Thy name is the sole sustainer of my life. It nourishes my heart and mind. It sends thrills through every vein and tissue of my physical being.

What more can I say? It has moulded me into Thy likeness, into Thy form and spirit. All victory and glory be to Thy name!

Thy name destroys misery and yields unending joy. I became the votary of Thy name and was blessed beyond measure. Thy name is Thyself, Thy very form, life and being. I am saturated with Thy name and have become Thyself — the resplendent Truth — the goal of seekers. I am That!

You do not know that you are Ram. So, you must ceaselessly remember Him until you are awakened to the consciousness that you are Ram yourself.

Swami Papa Ramdas


"In taking Ram Nam you think you are taking the name of the deity living in some far-off heaven. But you are really repeating the name of your own immortal Self, that is, Atma Ram. You do not know that you are Ram. So, you must ceaselessly remember Him until you are awakened to the consciousness that you are Ram yourself. "
