If by any chance the Vedas die, then there would be no base to demark the right from the wrong. Namasankirtan is also a way advocated by the Vedas. Hence we follow this path.

"You advocate that only Nãmasankirtan is the way to attain Liberation ('Moksha'). Many Mahatmas have shown this path. Why then should we protect the Vedas? What is the need for learning the Vedas?"

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

"In our day-to-day life we approach a lawyer to know the right and wrong. Based on 'Social law" he points to us the right and the wrong. Only the Vedas are the 'pramãna' (proof) for the existence of God. The Vedas are the 'Eternal law' that show the right path to a man who desires to reach God. Therefore, only by following the path shown by the Vedas can one have 'darshan' (see) of God. If by any chance the Vedas die, then there would be no base to demark the right from the wrong. Several 'durmathas' (wrong faiths) would spring up and only confusion will prevail. Namasankirtan is also a way advocated by the Vedas. Hence we follow this path."

But all I know is that 'Năma sankirtanam' (singing Lord's names) is the correct path for all.

 

They might hesitate and ask, 'Can I, who have committed innumerable grievous sins, utter the pure Name of the Lord?' Such people need not hesitate or feel shy on this ground; they CAN sing the Divine Name of the Lord boldly and cheerfully!"

 

When its recitation commences with the Divine Name Hari and concludes with the same, it is a clear and significant indication that the essence of all Vedas is about chanting the Divine Name of Hari.

 

It is for this purpose that he blessed us with Srimad Bhagavatham like a Nama Siddathantam

 

Sri Narayana Tirtha's Krishna Leela Tarangini - Namasiddhanta Gitam

 

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

 

Having compassion of the Lord as the foundation, the one which has no rules, the one which can eradicate the force of Kali, Namakirtanam is the only resort. I think again and again
