What is anger? How do I overcome it?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
Anger is an outburst of emotions, which are nothing but thoughts in the mind. Mind can be controlled by dealing with the situation from a practical standpoint with 'viveka' or discrimination.
Practicing simple pranayama (breathing exercises) is a nice way of controlling the mind. However this has to be done carefully.
The easier method to do this is by winning God's grace. If Maha Mantra is chanted with utmost faith and devotion, He will bring a proper transformation in your mind.
Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
If we put some ant-repellant around the sweets, the ants cannot get inside to the sweets. Similarly, lust, anger and fear would constantly pester our mind. We cannot avoid the attack of these on our mind by our intelligence.
'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
O my soul, remember thy God, thy years are rolling by without His sacred name
In the field of battle the fight has begun in right earnest and passion, anger, pride and ambition are the foes to be fought.
When a disciple sheds all the adverse modes of the mind like kama (desire), krodha (anger) etc. and completely leads his life with the clear understanding that it is the Guru who is running his life
Leaving the desires and anger, bless me to sing your divine names.
Repeat His name, and sins will disappear. Thus you will destroy lust, anger, the desire for creature comforts, and so on
There are passion and anger too like two huge mountains on either side. Without the Master, who can show the path?
Just as soap cleanses the cloth of its impurities, so also the mantra is a spiritual soap cleansing the mind. Just as fire cleanses gold of its impurities, so also mantra cleanses the mind of its impurities.
Wash out the thoughts of Concupiscence, anger, pride, greed and attachment from your mind.
Vaishnav is the one who has been addicted to the elixir of the name of God
Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
