While it is a general belief that God can be attained by a Guru’s grace, what is more significant is that only if there is God’s grace, can one attain a real Guru

Narada Bhakti Sutra - Sutra 38

मुख्यतस्तु महत्कृपयैव भगवत्कृपालेशाद वा

Its mainly by the grace of the Guru, one attains True devotion. One attains the Guru only through a little of the divine grace of God.

------------------------------------------

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

While it is a general belief that God can be attained by a Guru's grace, what is more significant is that only if there is God's grace, can one attain a real Guru.

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

If you want something from someone, you have to make him happy. Only then you will receive what you want. Similarly, if you want God's grace, you should make Him happy, and the easiest way to do that is by chanting the Maha Mantra!

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Keep Chanting, even while engaged in the activities of the world

 

Narada Bhakti Sutra, blessed to this world by Sage Narada, explains what is True Devotion and tells us the practices to be followed to attain True Devotion to Lord.

 

Sutra 37

 

लोकेऽपि भगवद्गुणश्रवणकीर्तनात्

(Narada Bhakti Sutra, 37)

 

By hearing and singing the glories of the Lord, even while engaged in the activities of the world

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji


"I do not ask you all to give up anything. 'Hold Krishna' is what I say. 


'Hold Krishna's Feet' is what I say. Do only this. It is very easy! "

 

To achieve this, we need not change our lifestyle; we need not go to another place; we need not renounce anything; there is no dress code or any such formality; we can go to work; go to school and live as usual.

 

The more you chant, the closer you get to your goal.

Universal brotherhood and peace can be acheived by Chanting the Divine Name of God

 

Message of Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Universal brotherhood and peace can never be brought about by power, force or scientific advancement.

 

The only solution is inner transformation – a change in the tendency of every single person and the only way to achieve it is through spirituality.

 

To achieve this, we need not change our lifestyle; we need not go to another place; we need not renounce anything; there is no dress code or any such formality; we can go to work; go to school and live as usual and yet bring about 'UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD'. How is that possible?

 

Indian culture is one of the most ancient cultures of the world and it is globally acknowledged that our Scriptures and the great Rishis have accurately predicted the course of the world and future. Thousands of years ago, foreseeing the troubled times ahead, they have shown the remedy which is the Maha Mantra found in the Kali Santarana Upanishad:

 

"Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare |

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ||"

 

Not only do we believe in the Scriptures and the great Rishis, but it has been found that all have experienced the inner transformation, bliss and joy even while chanting this Maha Mantra.Having tasted the divine nectar called 'Hare Rama…', we wish to share the joy with one and all, through Nama - 'Nama Dwaar'.

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Ramakrishna Says, when a pumpkin is cut at home, a seed or two spill out into the garden without our knowledge. One fine day, we see a nice pumpkin creeper in the garden. In the same way, Nama Kirtan, whether done knowingly or unknowingly, certainly has to give its effect.  All these Mahans stressed just this fact.

 

Today we see that Swami Vivekananda has glorified the Hindu religion all over the world. No doubt Sri Ramakrishna's penance had been the reason for this. But what Mantra did Sri Ramakrishna initiate Swami Vivekananda into? He initiated Vivekananda into the holy 'Rama' Nama. It is the power of that Divine Name that made him establish this Universal Religion of Brotherhood called Hinduism all over the world.

 

It is an undeniable fact that our country received independence because of one person - Mahatma Gandhi. How did he accomplish that? In his final lecture before independence, he says, 'We have tried our level best. Now let us all chant the Divine Name together. Only that has the power to get us independence.' Not one of his prayers passed without Rama Nama Kirtan.
