God's name on one's lips is itself salvation, disregard (of the name) know to be perdition.

Sant Tukaram

 

पुण्य पऱउपकार पाप ते परपीडा । आणीक नाही जोडा दुजा यासी ॥१॥

सत्य तोचि धर्म असत्य ते कर्म । आणीक हे वर्म नाही दुजे ॥धृ॥

गति तेचि मुखी नामाचे स्मरण । अधोगति जाण विन्मुख ते ॥२॥

संतांचा संग तोचि स्वर्गवास । नर्क तो उदास अनर्गळा ॥३॥

 

Merit consists in doing good to others, sin in doing harm to others. There is no other pair comparable to this. Truth is the only religion (or freedom); untruth is bondage, there is no secret like this.

 

God's name on one's lips is itself salvation, disregard (of the name) know to be perdition.

 

Companionship of the good is the only heaven,studious indifference is hell. Tuka says: It is thus clear what is good and what is injurious, let people choose what they will.

Remembering the Hare Rama Maha mantra always is Punya (Virtue), Forgetting Hare Rama Maha Mantra is sin

 

What is the essence of all the Shastras, the Brahma Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, etc.

 

By chanting the Name of Bhagavăn one attains Atma Jnana, Jivan Mukti state

 

The greatness of Hari Nama Sankirtanam lies in the fact that this is one mărga (path) that apart from taking one to eternal bliss gives immeasurable joy even while practising it.

 

The essence of the endless Vedas is this : Seek the shelter of God and repeat His name with all thy heart.

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

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