Continuously doing My kirtan, performing My worship sincerely, praising Me with stotras… develops prema bhakti towards Me. What is greater than this in the world?”

A Simple way - HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

In Srimad Bhagavatam, Bhagavan tells Uddhava, “Listening earnestly to my nectarine stories that bestow immortality, oft repeating that which was listened to, continuously doing My kirtan, performing My worship sincerely, praising Me with stotras… develops prema bhakti towards Me. What is greater than this in the world?

 

In Srimad Bhagavad Gita, while speaking to His dear Arjuna, Bhagavan says:

 

kshipram bhavati dharmAtmA shashvacchAntim nigacchati |

kauntEya pratijAnIhi na mE bhakta: praNashyati ||

 

“Even if one has practiced adharma for many years, due to the greatness of taking refuge in Me, he soon becomes a Dharmatma! He attains everlasting peace. O Son of Kunti, take the vow that My bhakta shall never fall!”

 

Bhagavan declares emphatically that His devotee shall never fall, even if he was unrighteous.

 

Hence, we need not worry or contemplate that we are still assailed by anger or desires, or that wave after wave of hurtful thoughts continue to wash over us. Let them all be. We shall continue to travel, without any confusion, in the path shown by Guru Maharaj by continuing to perform Nama sankirtanam, parayanam, and involving ourselves in kainkaryam. Bhagavan, who is an ocean of compassion, will Himself transform us into a devotee worthy of Him, and take us unto His fold. He will never let us down.
