I am in my twenties. These days just my mind is not working. I want to find peace, which has gone far away to me. I request to you please tell me your valuable advice for finding the peace in my life.

  

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Peace is within you. As long as you search for peace outside yourself, you will not attain it. To find the peace within you, please chant the Mahamantra always, thinking of Lord Krishna and surrendering to Him.

His very image filled with divine wisdom, power, love, joy and peace

 

Divine Name will not only shield you from all harm, but also grant you the power of endurance and peace.

 

His sweet Name on your lips, you may be sure, your life will flow like a rippling river singing the song of eternal love and joy.

 

Complete resignation to the will of God in every situation of life means enjoyment of peace, joy and contentment from moment to moment.

 

The man of prayer will be at peace with himself, and with the whole world

 

I have not the slightest doubt that prayer is an unfailing means of cleansing the heart of passions. But it must be combined with the utmost humility.

 

Mind, due to is very nature is ever-vacillating. if you sincerely pray to get the obstacle removed, your prayer shall be fulfilled.

Our duty is only to take the Nama to people. We will not bother about the results. We are not making anyone chant. It is Lord Krishna who does that.

I am chanting Mahamantra and I am interested in spreading it to my friends. Is it right to tell about it to a person who is not interested? I am trying to tell to my friends but some are in vain. How can I tell them to chant Mahamantra?

 

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Before you go out for this task, first, pray to Lord Krishna. He will make it successful for you. Even those who are not interested now may change in future. Who knows!

 

Our duty is only to take the Nama to people. We will not bother about the results. We are not making anyone chant. It is Lord Krishna who does that. So everything will happen according to His wish.

Propagation is absolutely necessary if any message has to reach the people. This applies to the Divine Name of the Lord, too!

 

Chanting lips make many hands work

 

By the mere touch of a Bhagavata, others can become Bhagavatas.

 

If you cannot remember that God is everywhere, Just chant His Name, that will do everything.

 

If you chant the Maha Mantra constantly, the whole world will be at your feet

 

Mahatma Gandhi won over them by the sheer power of Rama Nama and by virtue of truthfulness sans any weapon and got us independence

 

Rather than speak at length about the greatness of the divine name, prove it by chanting

 

If Vivekananda succeeded in all his accomplishments in the world through mere fruit of Rama Nãma japa, is not one able to comprehend the glory of Nãma?

 

The Swamiji was struck with wonder at the power of the Mahamantra. He at once took hold of the Mahamantra. He wandered all over the country

 

Spiritual transformation (by way of Chanting the Nama) is like treating at the root

 

The dassi came to have a darshan of Bodhendral and after prostrating to him she left this world through Kabala moksham in front of her guru like how a yogi leave this world

 

Due to My causeless mercy, I am very much pleased and enthusiastic to spread the glory of that Dharma which manifests itself in the Kirtan of my Divine Names

Some people say that if we chant the Maha Mantra loud, we can benefit only 25%, if we whisper 50% benefit, but if we chant in our mind without any sound, we get 100% benefit. Yet some others do not agree with this. Please explain the correct way.

Thus we are able to comprehend to a certain extent that there is no difference between the Name of the Lord and the Lord. Don’t we?

"How do you say that there is no difference between the Lord and His Name?"

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

"On looking at or touching the Lord in the Temple a person deems it to be an idol only, made up of stone or metal. He also thinks that there is a real God different from this. But does the same thought arise while uttering the Name of the Lord?"

 

"Would one wonder if he is uttering the Name of the Lord in the Temple or the Name of a Conscious God? Thus we are able to comprehend to a certain extent that there is no difference between the Name of the Lord and the Lord. Don't we?"

Feeling that these Forms alone will not suffice for redemption of the world He also became the Divine Names such as 'Hari!' 'Siva!' and is ever alive in these Names.

 

It is verily the Name of the Supreme One - the one who creates, sustains and rests it in Himself

 

Name and the Named are but one

 

God, Guru, Srimad Bhagavatam and God's Divine Name --- all are one and the same.

 

The Divine Name of the Lord ('Bhagavan Nãma') has the power to redeem one and all.

Just as the whole world’s welfare is taken care by the one Sun above, just so when someone sits in some corner and does proper japa or dhyana or tapas it brings about welfare to the world. He is like the Sun.

Nama Article 17th June 2011

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

We sit here in this place and perform some japa, dhyana, puja or tapas. This is such a big world consisting of crores and crores of people. In such a huge world someone in some corner sits and does some spiritual practice sincerely. It is said that there are innumerable invisible 'lokãs' (worlds). You may question, "What is the use of someone sitting in a hut in some corner and doing tapas? How will it bring in welfare to the world?" or you may question, "Is this not selfishness ('swãrtam')?"

 

But, though are many countries like America, Africa, Australia there is only one Sun. Each country does not have a separate Sun. Just as the whole world's welfare is taken care by the one Sun above, just so when someone sits in some corner and does proper japa or dhyana or tapas it brings about welfare to the world. He is like the Sun. There is no need for him to do 'prachãra' in the world. The Sun does not say anything to anyone; in the mere presence of its rays, light ('prakãsa'), in its 'sannidhya' (Divine presence) things happen in the world. Likewise, his 'tapo bala' will in itself bring about the welfare of the world.
