Nama Article 13th Feb 2017
Source: SWAMI BALAKRISHNANANDA - EPITOME OF THE DIVINE NAME
Sri Swamiji often spends time near the holy adhishtanam in Govindapuram chanting Nama. He would often quote Sri Balakrishnananda Saraswathi Swamigal's life story as an inspiration in many ways. His Guru Bhakthi! He had unflinching faith and devotion towards Sri Bodhendra Saraswathi Swamigal and did not leave Govindapuram till the end, till his jeevan mukthi.
He spent his entire lifetime chanting Nama, keeping his Guru's Nama Siddhantha and preaching on the Holy Name as His sole life scripture.
His divine affinity to Nama! He had the Divine Name on his lips at all times.
He would never waste a moment on any wordly matter and would always be immersed in sweet, nectarine Nama.
And his wish to be near his Guru, in life and beyond by having his Samadhi right next to Sri Bodhendral's. Sri Swamiji would refer to this with a beautiful phrase – "Charana Chaayai Vaasam" – Refuge under the Holy Feet and wish to be the Guru's dust.
