Guru and Namakirtan

Saint Arunagirinathar who was blessed by Lord Muruga portrayed the glory of the Lord so eloquently, elegantly and elaborately and His works have acquired the name, as "Thiruppugazh". In Kanthar Anubhuti, which explains the supreme truth of sprirituality, He prays to Lord to bless him to Chant the Divine Names for ever.

Oh Arunachala, You pulled me towards you,

Even when I just brought your name to my mind,

And who can ever aptly tell your greatness?

Paramahamsas are immersed in the Chanting of Divine names of the Lord

Nama Article 18th April 2011

Sri Sadasiva Brahmendral

पिबरे रामरसं रसने

पिबरे राम रसम्

pibarE rAmarasam rasanE pibrE rAmarasam

Drink and enjoy the essence of Divine name Rama

दूरीकृत पातक संसर्गं

पूरित नानाविध फल वर्गम्

dUrIkrta pAtaka samsargam

pUrita nAnAvidha phalavargam

It helps you distance yourself from the sins / bad company

It is sweeter than the essence of all kinds of fruits

जनन मरण भय शोक विदूरं

सकल शास्त्र निगमागम सारम्

janana maraNa bhaya shOka vidUram

sakala shAstra nigamAgama sAram

It helps you overcome the fear of cycle of birth and death

It is the quintessence of all scriptures (Shastras / Vedas)

परिपालित सरसिज गर्भाण्डं

परम पवित्री कृत पाषाण्डम्

paripAlita sarasija garbhANDam

parama pavitri krta pASANDam

The word Rama is the root cause of the existence of the whole universe

(In the philosophy of the Yoga, 'Ra' is considered the 'Mooladhara' (the point of origin of the power of Kundalini) and 'Ma' is the 'Sahasrara' (the destination). Hence, when the Rama Nama is chanted in the right tone and manner, the serpent power rises and hits the head or the 'kapala' Thus, by merely chanting the Rama Nama, one can become a Yogi. )

The worst sinner is reformed as a purest person on uttering Divine name Rama

शुद्ध परमहम्साश्रित गीतं

शुक शौनक कौशिक मुख पीतम्

shuddha paramahamsAshrita gItam

shuka shaunaka kaushika mukha pItam

Paramahamsa means one who has realized and experienced the supreme spiritual truth. Here, Sadasiva brahmendra adds an adjective "shuddha paramahamsA" and conveys that one who Chants the Divine names and attains realization are special and lists the Shuddha Paramahamsas immersed in Chanting the Divine names after realisation of supreme truth.

He lists the persons who are immersed in the Chanting of Divine name of Rama starting with Sri Suka (Who is born as a Jeevan Muktha to Sage Vyasa), Shaunaka, Kaushika etc
