It is a treasure that is capable of swelling our day-to-day life's comforts and joy

Nama Article 12th May 2007

Sri Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati [Maha Periyava] of Kaanchi Kaamakoti Peetam on the glory of Namasankirtan

"One need not feel self-conscious for singing the Divine Names of the Lord.

Does embarrassment have any place in uttering the Name of the Lord who is the very form of compassion?

The only criterion for the performance of Nama Sankirtan is the feeling of devotion ['Bhakti bhaavana'] and not deep knowledge of music, raga bhaava and melodious voice.

Does not a child who is involved in playing some games, on suddenly remembering the mother, rush to her crying out, 'oh, Amma, amma'? There is neither embarrassment nor musical splendor in it.

Likewise, even amidst our worldly business we should think of the Universal Mother, God, for at least a few minutes and cry out 'Rama! Krishna! Siva! Amba!'

This is a very healthy habit.

It is a treasure that is capable of swelling our day-to-day life's comforts and joy. "

Hence let us all

Chant

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

and lead a comfortable life.
