Is'nt it this whole universe is the wonderful work of the Lord. Now-a-days we find every place on this earth infected with the negative energy. The question is: Is this because of the effect of Kali Yug or it is created by us? Kindly advise.

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Kali yug is not something which is extraneous to us Humans. 'Kalau Kalmasha Chittanaam..' Kali lives as 'negativity' in the hearts of all. It is clearly said in our Puranas that people living in this age would have more negativity than divine positivity. Thankfully the scriptures also tell us the easy way out - Mahamantra kirtan.

Cannot be gauged and explained in words;

 

It has the power to drive away

All manner of evils spirits.

Nama Article 5th December 2009

 

Swami Papa Ramdas

 

The secret of life is that the sublime goal is to be reached by first stilling the mind which is done by chanting the Name.

 

Your ego disappears, your hankering for the objects of desire ceases, your sense of bondage is removed, and you swim in an infinite ocean of joy and peace, having realized utter freedom.

All I know is Ram Nam

Nama Article 3rd December 2009

Bhagawan Yogiram Suratkumar

All I know is Ram Nam. For him there is no need for realisation, visions, experiences, or anything else. Ram Nam is everything.

Chant the name all the 24 hours ! I do as ordained by my Master. That's enough for this beggar!"

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Once Yogirămsuratkumăr was talking calmly to a devotee. A man happened to come there. At once Yogi picked up an apple and threw it at him shouting angrily, 'Why have you come here? Have I not asked you umpteen number of times not to come here?' The devotee who was with Yogi was shaken up to the core. When the man left, Yogi turned to this devotee and said in a very calm tone, 'Do you think that this beggar was angry? This beggar never gets angry. He is not angry at all. This beggar is doing only good to him. But, there are different ways of doing good depending on the person. All cannot be treated alike. I have done only good to him. To understand this beggar is very difficult. If you want to understand this beggar, this beggar's true love, then you should become this beggar!'

 

So, Jnănis might appear to exercise fear, anger, etc. But, their hearts are filled with peace ('săntam') and love ('premai'). If they do not have love, would they have attained 'Realization'? If they had possessed anger or likes/dislikes, would they have attained 'Realization'? This is verily the proof ('pramănam') for their 'Bhagavat săkshătkăra'! Such behaviour of theirs is 'kapatam' (not true. Everything is only a play act) Why so? Only then can people be corrected."

Wherever the chanting of Năma is performed, wherever a japa is done, a wave is created. The atmospheric wave here is very calm.

Nama Article 2nd December 2009

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

In a home where is there is always a quarrel, where people do not meet eye to eye on any matter, hate each other, are not united, the atmospheric waves are negative. When anyone visits the place, he feels restless and desires to get out of the place.

 

Wherever the chanting of Năma is performed, wherever a japa is done, a wave is created. This is the reason that we say that it is peaceful, joyful in a place. What is so peaceful? The atmospheric wave here is very calm.
