That love, can sprout only by his grace. His grace descends when we chant the Mahamantra.

Nama Article 6th April 2012

 

It is said that while performing meditation, one should not wear spectacles, watch, etc. Why is it so?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Reading your question, I am reminded of the following incident:

 

A person once approached Swami Vivekananda and asked him, 'When I meditate, should I keep my room's windows open or closed?"

 

Swami Vivekananda replied, "Oh Fool! Quit bothering about such trifling matters. Open your heart. Allow God to come and sit in it."

 

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

'Similarly, my friend,' the master says, 'you can sit like that forever, but you'll never be meditating or understanding truth.'

 

 

The intention of continued chanting of the Divine names is to take one to the state of total selfless, unconditional LOVE

 

 

I can worship God, but how can I love LORD KRISHNA? You can love Him if you understand that Sri Krishna is pure love and love alone.

 

 

That love, can sprout only by his grace. His grace descends when we chant the Mahamantra.

 

 

Mechanical chanting is the only starting point we can attempt. It matures to love by grace.

 

 

THE JNAANA (KNOWLEDGE) BORN OUT OF GRACE, THE VIDWAT (LEARNING) BORN OF THIS GRACE, WEALTH RECEIVED FROM SUCH A GRACE IS EVERLASTING AND SAFE (HARMLESS).

 

 

God gives whatever is required (by His devotee), removes whatever is not needed, leads the devotee in the path suited to him/her; Since Bhagavãn takes utmost interest in the devotee's needs the latter will not earn/attain any 'siddhi'

 

 

What is there in this world that devotion to the Lord cannot do?

 

 

By repeatedly chanting the Divine Name of Lord Hari, one attains all siddhis (powers). When Lord, the Consort of Goddess Shridevi, and the Lord of the world, is pleased, what remains an impossibility on this earth?

 

 

Repetition of Name will create Love. Hari will be yours when you attain Love
