Who does not crave for respect, but respects others, is the one fit to repeat the Name of Hari

Nama Article 6^th Jul 2016

POWER OF 'RAM NAM' by Swami Sivananda

"Trinadapi sunichena tarorapi sahishnuna, Amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih—He who is humbler than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, who does not crave for respect, but respects others, is the one fit to repeat the Name of Hari."

God helps those who help themselves. The best possible effort that one is capable of exercising under the intellectual circumstances provided by God should be put forth, and only beyond this effort, should one seek the grace of God. Idleness is not self-surrender. Surrender of the self to God becomes complete only when the individual consciousness is flooded over the love for the Divine. God's grace descends when the efforts exercised are found to be inadequate for the realisation of God.

Let your words recite the Lord's divine Names. Let your eyes see everything as different forms of the Lord. This practice will purify your mind very quickly.

Attraction towards worldly pleasures is the main reason for not getting full concentration during meditation of God. So, put in constant efforts to develop dispassion towards worldly objects.

The devotee should not test the Lord by the chanting of His Name

Nama Article 1st Jul 2016

POWER OF 'RAM NAM' by Swami Sivananda

The devotee should not test the Lord by the chanting of His Name. For example, one should not use the Name as an excuse for the deliberate perpetration of evil acts. The Name can overcome the effects of even such acts, but the implications of such acts would be that the devotee who uses the Name thus has not genuine aspiration and devotion to the Lord, and his mind is still being attracted to things other than those that pertain to the Lord and to His Way. Hence the condition for chanting the Divine Name is well laid out.

The Name is potent enough to cause a change in the psychological and the physical being of man even when it is mechanically repeated.

Nama Article 23rd Jun 2016

POWER OF 'RAM NAM' by Swami Sivananda

The repetition of the Mantra should be done with Bhava or deep feeling. A tremendous effect is produced when repetition of the name is attended with a consciousness of the relation of the chanter to the deity of the Name. This, however, does not mean that a mechanical repetition of the Mantra without feeling is absolutely devoid of all beneficial results. The Name is potent enough to cause a change in the psychological and the physical being of man even when it is mechanically repeated.

Ram Nam is a Mantra, and a Mantra is formed by significant letters, which by the very fact of their being uttered, produce a result, even if this result may not be directly connected with the consciousness of the chanter of the Mantra. There is a very peculiar process of physical and psychical transformation taking place at the time when the Mantra is repeated. Unconscious and mechanical repetition produces no direct psychical change, but causes biological change through the nervous system which is immediately influenced by the vibrations set up by the chanting of the Mantra, and these biological changes indirectly, bring about psychological changes; for these two natures in man are related to each other as effect and cause, respectively and the effects are so intimately related to their causes that any change in the effects will be felt by the causes, and vice versa.
