Guru and Namakirtan: I can see the Maha Mantra ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’ going behind those who leave this place after chanting here.

Nama Article 5^th March 2015

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji's Namadwaars and GOD satsangs across the world celebrates Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Jayanthi by chanting Mahamantra, Annadhanam to needy and Nagarakirtan on 5^th March 2015

This is celebrated as 'Holi' Day.

After Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhuji's descent on earth on this day, it is also a 'holy' day.

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji on 17th November, 2002

Chaitanya Maha prabhu once saw Radharãni and Krishna sailing in a boat. Suddenly the ear drop ('jhumka') of Radharãni fall into the waters. At once, the perturbed Maha Prabhu jumped into the waters to retrieve the 'jhumka' for Radharãni. Others will not be able to comprehend his 'bhãva'. One has to get into such 'bhãva' to know his 'bhãva'. Maha Prabhu was a great scholar; He was a great pundit. He stood above all. But, he threw everything away and took to chanting

'Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare!

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare!'

You must take hold of one way. Bhãgavatam or 'bhajanam' and surrender to it. One should remain/feel that this is the only way out ('adhe gati').Only 'shraddha' matters. What is 'shraddha'? To believe in the shastras. To trust the words of Mahans. Those who abuse a Mahan earn sin and those are respectful and affectionate to Him earn His blessings.

I can see the Maha Mantra 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' going behind those who leave this place after chanting here. It will spread all around Tamizh Nadu, all around the world. Any place where 'bhajanam' is done gets purified. The person who chants it is also purified.

Chaitanya Mahăprabhu, a great scholar that he was, threw away everything and took to incessant chanting of 'eka năma'

Mahaprabhu made lions and tigers sing and dance to the tune of Nama Kirtan. What does this go to show? If you chant the Maha Mantra constantly, the whole world will be at your feet!

While those who have mastered the Mantras to provide relief to mundane worldly pains like scorpion bite etc. hesitate to disclose the Mantras, how compassionate is our Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, who has generously given to everyone the greatest of Mantras - the Mahamantra for the welfare of the entire Universe!

Catch hold of the Mahamantra. Chant it continuously, whenever you get time and leave the rest to Him.

When a person utters the Divine Name of Shri krishna, be he a fool, immediately Shri Gauranga (Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) bows down before him in reverence.

I do not know the full potency or the fruitful benefit of chanting the Divine Names. The sweet Name of Shri Krishna dances on my tongue of its own accord.

The fruit attained through the chanting of this single Name of the Lord cannot be attained through any other means. This is the easiest method.

One can attain Liberation if he Chants the Single Name of the Lord again and again. Chanting the Name of the Lord is like traveling in the right direction

Though the Sun's rays are spread equally all over, yet when they are passed through a lens thus directing them through a single point they have the power to burn up

Is it then surprising if such a mind does not remain steadfast on a single path of worship?

Chanting a single Divine Name of the Lord ('eka Nãma') helps the chanter deepen his concentration and also helps in sustaining the chanting for long hours effortlessly
