A THOUGHT..........

I am just a normal person who is trying to quench
his spiritual thrust. My main motive behind
starting this blog is to aware more people about
our Great gurudev Shri Ramthakur and to reach out
to more people who is unaware of the stotras and
other stuffs given by Gurudev to other gurubhai
and bhaginies , so that they can chant them and be
benefited . In this world where ever I see I find
people unhappy , sad , cribbing , searching for
peace . Nobody is happy and satisfied with what
ever they have and crib for more and this is the
soul reason that we are loosing all the peace that
we need in our life . Things are getting worse day
by day . The effect of Kali yuga is getting
dominant on us as we can see the effects and its
collateral damages around us . There is only one
way we can get this effect of kali yuga not affect
us is by submitting at the lotus feet of a SAD
GURU like SRI RAMTHAKUR , and by chanting the
MAHAmANTRA . This is the most short cut way of
getting peace in life by doing satsang and
attending kirtans of the mahamantra .It helps in
reducing the effects of the six Ripus like lust ,
greed , jealousy , anger etc. and slowly releases
you from the cocoon of attachments . I am no
teacher , no preacher , not a sadhu but try to
follow and understand what Gurudev have told us to
do . I am always in search of truth and Gnyana
(knowledge) and always at the lotus feet of my SAD
GURUDEV SRI SRI KAIVALYANATH ..

MAHA MANTRA

The Hare Krishna mantra, also referred to reverentially as the Maha Mantra ("Great Mantra"), is a sixteen-word Vaishnava mantra which first appears in the Kali-Santarana Upanishad, and which from the 16th century rises to importance in the Bhakti movement following the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

According to Gaudiya Vaishnava theology, this higher consciousness takes the form of pure love of God (Krishna). The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of Sanskrit names in the vocative case: Hare, Krishna, and Rama .It is an anustubh poetry stanza:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Har
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare

"Hare" can be interpreted as either the vocative of Hari, another name of Vishnu meaning "he who removes illusion", or as the vocative of Harā, a name of Rādhā, Krishna's eternal consort or Shakti. Harā refers to "the energy of God" while Krishna and Rama refer to God himself, meaning "He who is All-Attractive" and "He who is the Source of All Pleasure". Rama can refer to Ramachandra or to Krishna as Radha-Raman, another name of Krishna meaning beloved of Radha. In the hymn Vishnu Sahasranama spoken by Bhishma in praise of Krishna after the Kurukshetra War, Krishna is also called Rama. Rama can also be a shortened form of Balarama, Krishna's first expansion.

The mantra is repeated, either out loud (kirtan), softly to oneself (japa), or internally within the mind .

Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity. When we hear the transcendental vibration, this consciousness is revived ... This chanting of 'Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare' is directly enacted from the spiritual platform, and thus this sound vibration surpasses all lower strata of consciousness - namely sensual, mental, and intellectual ... As such anyone can take part in the chanting without any previous qualification.

The mantra is first attested in the kalisaṇṭāraṇopaniṣad (Kali Santarana Upanishad), a Vaishnava Upanishad associated with the Krishna Yajurveda. In this Upanishad, Narada is instructed by Brahma :

Hearken to that which all Shrutis (the Vedas) keep secret and hidden, through which one may cross the Samsara (mundane existence) of Kali. He shakes off (the evil effects of) Kali through the mere uttering of the name of Lord Narayana, who is the primeval Purusha.

Narada asks to be told this name of Narayana, and Brahma replies:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare; These sixteen names are destructive of the evil effects of Kali. No better means than this is to be seen in all the Vedas.

The mantra was popularized by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu roughly around 1500 CE when he began his mission to spread this mantra publicly to "every town and village" in the world, travelling throughout India, and especially within the areas of Bengal and Orissa. Some versions of the Kali Santarana Upanishad give the mantra with Hare Rama preceding Hare Krishna, and others with Hare Krishna preceding Hare Rama (as quoted above). The latter format is by far the more common within the Vaishnava traditions, within which it is a common belief that the mantra is equally potent when spoken in either order.

So let us all take the divine name of the LORD and fill our inner self with divine bliss , and may this state of bliss be everlasting .

" Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare "

GURU CHARAN KAMALAVHYAM NAMAHA

PURNA SAMARPAN

What ever I have read about Thakur from the books written by our beloved Guru bhais , and felt myself ,i have realized that Thakur never told people to renounce the worldly things and become a sadhu . He always told that by simple ways of living and worship can also produce the same effect . A person can also be one with god while doing his worldly duties . That is the reason Gurudev gave us the mahamantra which has no rules attached to it . Its a siddha mantra and which can be repeated when ever and how ever desired . If we go through different shastras we will find that there are different rules attached to every sadhana and every mantra which can not be uttered every time and different rituals are attached to it . To provide relief to the bhakta gan our beloved Gurudev provided simple and easy way to achieve what sadhaks looks for by giving us the mahamantra .
Gurudev said the mahanam and GOD are the same and there is no difference between them . Gurdev`s whole body is made up of this mahanam only .He always told us that each and every GOD can be worshipped the way they want . No special ritual is required but the thing that is required is BHAKTI and purna samarapan . Love and bhava is beyond all rituals and I have seen the result my self . To give an example I will tell a small true story which happened in a small village in nowakhali . ( this story was told by my father )

There was a temple of RADHAN GOVINDA and a man used to take care of it .This man was full of devotion and loved RADHA GOVINDA more then anything . He always used to make KHICHURI ( mixture of rice and daal ) as prasad and while cooking he used to put the RADHA GOVINDA bronze idol inside the hot khichuri. and after the khichuri is prepared he used to take out the idol , clean it again and then place the bhog in front of the idol . Once a sadhu was passing by thet village and too shelter n that temple . when he saw that man putting the idol inside the hot khichuri the sadhu said " what are you doing , is this the way you give prasad to your beloved deity ? Thye will curse you and you will end up in hell " and then the sadhu showed him the proper way to give bgoga to RADHA GOVINDA . From the next day the man started doin as was told to him by the sadhu . at the end pf three days he was taking a nap in the afternoon while suddenly he saw bahgwan RADHA GOVINDA STANDING in front of him with a very pale face . HE was first very happy to get their darshan but was also sad to see their pale face and asked " what is wrong wid ur face bhagwan , why are you looking so week and pale ? . Lord GOVINDA said " Beta we are very hungry and feeling very weak as we didn`t have food for the last three days " . The man was shocked and said " but bhagwan I did give you prasad in the proper way as the sadhu instructed " . Then LORD said " Beta its not about ways , its about the devotion and bhakti with which you used to give us Bhog " . Saying these lines Lord vanished .The man started crying and from next day he again started the same procedure of giving bhog which he used to follow .

From this small incident we can understand that God always take happily what ever food we offer if done with proper devotion . GOD does not care whether the plate in which you offer prasad is made of gold or earthen pot or banana leaf . HE does not care whether the prasad is very costly or just as simple as sugar or a glass of water with a tulsi leaf in it . What he cares about is the bhakti with which we offer the prasad .
LORD SATYANARAYAN is responsible of every breath we take for our life and every thing we achieve in life and in return what best we can give him is pure devotion .
Pure devotion and total submission ( purna samarpan ) with out any tolerance . This is the only way we can be one with the LORD HIMSELF .
