Recite God's names at every footstep. If you do so, you can have a meeting with Yagna Purusha. Constant recital of God's names is the most effective method to reach God in Kaliyuga. He who is constant in Japa Sadhana can even change his destiny.

BHAGAVATHA DHARMAM – Fifth and Sixth Skandham - Swami Abhedananda


Meditation of God purifies mind. So, make meditation a regular habit. If you do not get concentration while meditating, take to recital of God's names. If that too is found difficult, surrender everything to God. Those who resort to the recital of God's names will definitely have God realization one day.

Any Name of the Lord is nectar. It is sweeter than sugar-candy. It is the essence of the Vedas.

Nama Article 4th March 2017


THE GLORY OF MANTRA DIKSHA

By Swami Sivananda


The Name of Rama turns impossible into possible. It was by the glory of Rama-Nama that the stones floated in water, and the bridge, the Setu over the sea, was built by Sugriva and his companions at Rameshvaram. It was Rama-Nama that cooled Prahlada, when he was thrown into a conflagration of fire.

Any Name of the Lord is nectar. It is sweeter than sugar-candy. It is the essence of the Vedas. Amrita came out, in days of yore, during the process of the churning of the ocean by the Devas and the Asuras. Even so by churning the four Vedas, the Name of Rama, the nectar, was brought out to quench the three kinds of Taapa (affliction) of the ignorant Jivas. Drink it again and again by constant repetition, just as Valmiki did in days long gone by.

Who has resigned himself to the Lord by Chanting the Divine Names, devotion, realization of the supreme Lord and aversion to other objects – all the three appear at once.

Nama Article 3rd March 2017


Srimad Bhagavatham 11:2:42


भक्तिः परेशानुभवो विरक्तिर् अन्यत्र चैष त्रिक एक-कालः

प्रपद्यमानस्य यथाश्नतः स्युस् तुष्टिः पुष्टिः क्षुद्-अपायोऽनु-घासम्


As one who eats (food) feels satisfied, gets nourishment and relief from hunger with every morsel, (similarly) in him who has resigned himself to the Lord by Chanting the Divine Names, devotion, realization of the supreme Lord and aversion to other objects – all the three appear at once.

Food simultaneously gives us taste, satiates our hunger and gives us energy. Chanting the Divine Name simultaneously wipes our sins, accrues good merits and prepares us for the Vision of the Lord

Recital of God’s names even without knowing their meaning or importance will be beneficial.

Nama Article 1st March 2017

BHAGAVATHA DHARMAM – Fifth and Sixth Skandham - Swami Abhedananda

Recital of God's names even without knowing their meaning or importance will be beneficial.

When you fall down or some misfortune comes to you, don't cry out "Hayyo" "Hayyo", but say "Hari" Hari". Even the greatest sinner, if he repents for his sinful actions, can transform his life. Therefore, sinners should not be rejected.

Feel the wonderful and infinite power the Name of the Lord possesses and chant His Name constantly.

Nama Article 28th Feb 2017


THE GLORY OF MANTRA DIKSHA


By Swami Sivananda


The Name of the Lord has a very great power. It brings you face to face with the Supreme Being and makes you realise your oneness with the Infinite and the whole world at large. It bestows immortality. Feel the wonderful and infinite power the Name of the Lord possesses and chant His Name constantly. Time is fleeting. The best way to utilise it is to remember Him, to chant His Name, sing His glories and meditate on Him.


Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Singing the Naama of the Lord with Bhakti. Singing and dancing His Praises is the easiest way to earn His Grace.

To realize the Lord Krishna within you – that is the aim of life.
