One should devote and Chant the Divine Names of the Supreme embodiment of Truth, the store house of bliss and should not feel attached to any other object

Nama Article 19th August 2014

 

Srimad Bhagavatham 2:1:39

स सर्व-धी-वृत्त्य्-अनुभूत-सर्व आत्मा यथा स्वप्न-जनेक्षितैकः

तं सत्यम् आनन्द-निधिं भजेत नान्यत्र सज्जेद् यत आत्म-पातः

 

Just as a dreamer sees himself projected and various forms in a dream, it is the one all-witnessing Self who experience everything through the intellect of all. One should devote and Chant the Divine Names of the Supreme embodiment of Truth, the store house of bliss and should not feel attached to any other object; for such attachment brings about the degradation of the soul.

By Guru's Grace, he receives the wealth of the Lord's Name, which alone shall go with him, when he departs in the end.

Sant Kabir

 

गुर परसादी हरि धनु पाइओ अंते चलदिआ नालि चलिओ ॥

कहत कबीर सुनहु रे संतहु अनु धनु कछूऐ लै न गइओ ॥

आई तलब गोपाल राइ की माइआ मंदर छोडि चलिओ ॥

 

 

By Guru's Grace, he receives the wealth of the Lord's Name, which alone shall go with him, when he departs in the end.

 

Says Kabeer, listen, O Saints - he shall not take any other wealth with him.

 

When the summons comes from the King, the Lord of the Universe, the mortal departs, leaving behind his wealth and mansions.

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji's song

Avatharithan Kannan - Vadamadhuraiyil!

 

Ăvani Mădhathil Ashtami Thithiyil

Rohini nalliravil ulagam uyya

 

Mămarai pottridum thămarai kannan

Sangudan Chakkaramum păngudan dharithu

 

Kirita Kundalangal milirndu oli veesa

Seerum Sirappudane sirai thannile

 

Vasudevar părthida Devaki thuthi seyya

Srivatsa maruvudan kausthubamum anindhu

 

Mădavan vandhida mangalam engum ponga

Muralidharan thutikka moondrulagamum magizha

(Avatharithan Kannan - Vadamadhuraiyil!)

 

Translation:

Krishna incarnated - in the city of Mathura!

 

In the month of Ăvani!

On the eighth day of the dark fortnight!

On the pitch dark night when the star Rohini was in its ascent!

For all the worlds to be elevated!

 

The lotus-eyed Lord praised (sung) by all the Vedas

Bearing the conch and chakra very elegantly

 

With crown and ear-rings dazzling brightly!

With great pomp in a prison !

 

While Vasudeva looked on with wonder and Devaki uttered praises!

Adorned with the Kaustubha gem and the Srivastsa Mark!

 

While Madhava's descent brings about auspiciousness everywhere

While Muralidhara sings the glory of the Lord!

While all the three worlds are immersed in bliss!

(Krishna incarnated - in the city of Mathura!)

Janmashtami Message from Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

What is pleasing to Krishna? How can I make him happy?

 

No wonder, Lord Krishna attracts one and all

 

Festivals like Gokulashtami are also meant to overcome idleness, bring in cheerfulness and promote social interaction

 

The purpose of Incarnation of Sri Krishna is to give to the world - His Name, His attractive Form and His various leelas

 

Born in a 'Karagraha' (prison), Sri Krishna entered the 'Garbagraha' (the sanctum) just for the sake of 'Anugraha' (gracing us)

 

The Nama is verily the propeller of the ship. The captain of this ship is none other than Sri Krishna Himself!

 

Sri Krishna says; I protect those who have surrendered unto me and look up to me for their protection

 

For all questions he had only one reply, "One should perform Krishna Namakirtan"

 

Chant the Name of Krishna continuously! Oh! Friend! கிருஷ்ண மந்த்ரம் ஜபத நிரந்தரம் 

 

When you chant do not bother whether your mind wavers or not. Nama will take care of that.....proceed doubtlessly with faith in the words of the Guru

 

Swamiji, You talk only of Bhakti towards Krishna. Why?

Sri Ram is an ocean of love, sweet as nectar. Ours is to drink out of it, every second of our existence

Nama Article 16th August 2014

 

Swami Papa Ramdas

 

THE NAME IS NOT DIFFERENT FROM HIM

 

Sri Ram is an ocean of love, sweet as nectar. Ours is to drink out of it, every second of our existence. We live, move and have our being in that ocean. He fills our body from top to toe; He pervades the whole universe. In fact all forms are made of Him, i.e., of that Infinite Love. Supreme Anandam is the one characteristic of this nectar-like love. He is all. He is all. He is simply glorious! Bhajan and Kirtan are always going on in the Ashram, sometimes, all day and night. Ramdas dances and dances in ecstasy. His sweet name is ever in the air. Joy; joy; eternal joy! How indescribably great that Name is! Its power is simply marvellous! It gives us at once the bliss of Bhakti and Mukti. The Name is not different from Him. He is our all in all.

"To remain how God wills" – being in this state is Bhagavatha Dharmam.

 

"Practice thinking that everything is happening as per Lord's wish" and the very first thought that one should have when they rise in the morning is that they should Chant the name of the Lord and think that "As per the wish of the Lord i woke up today."

 

How loving and merciful is Lord Krishna? You surrender to Him. He says ,"I need not protect you. I will bestow you with this power!" and transforms the devotee as verily Himself.

 

Lord Krishna's auspicious Name even once heard or uttered destroys all evils or inauspiciousness. This Bhagavatha Dharma is founded and established by Lord Sri Krishna which protects the entire world

 

You should not only accept from the bottom of your heart the situation that the Lord keeps you in but also be grateful to Him for that because it is verily the Lord's blessing!

 

Bhagavatha Dharma (which is chanting of the Divine Name of God), which were actually taught by the Lord Himself for one's own realisation with out much exertion and can be followed even by the most ignorent

 

कौमार आचरेत् प्राज्ञो धर्मान् भागवतान् इह । दुर्लभं मानुषं जन्म तद् अप्य् अध्रुवम् अर्थदम् ॥

 

He is so generous that He gives away His own self to those who contemplate on His lotus-feet. Also bestows wealth and objects of worldly enjoyment, which are after all not very desirable things
