Start the day with Nama, fill the day with Nama, end the day with Nama!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GURUJI!!!

If you want to realize the greatness of a Mahatma
- Do not seek money or favors from Him
- Do not even seek his attention or importance, knowledge, Siddhi (special powers) or Mukti (liberation) from Him
- Do not try and analyze Him by your intellect
- Do not comment His actions, whether they seem good to your eyes or not
- Obey whatever He says, even though at times it may seem foolish
- Travel wherever He goes, for nothing in return
- Be with Him always

By being with Him and traveling with Him, you will get into ‘Sanchara Samadhi’ which slowly leads you into ‘Sahaja Samadhi’

-- His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Nama chanting will ultimately take you to the same goal that Vedanta vichhara or Yoga or 'Karmanushtana' takes one to.
Through Nama one can attain the highest state.
The Azhwars, the Nayanmars, Thiagaraja Swami, Panduranga Bhaktas, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu have all shown that one CAN attain liberation through mere chanting of Nama.
Even today we find Sadhus who have attained the highest state through mere chanting of Nãma.
This is the glory of 'Nama Sankirtana' -- An absolutely easy, simple path.
-- H.H.Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Karma is mere action, but Bhakti is a feeling.

--- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

Truth is One, lies are many. 

-- Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

In the case of Jnana Marga, the Lord shows you the path to attain the goal, while in Bhakti Marga, He verily takes you to the destination
---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

If we call out His Name with complete faith, Krishna will certainly appear before us. Faith is the most important thing. Faith can win over any obstacle. So my dear children, pray with utmost faith, and the Lord answers such prayers immediately.

-- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

The remembrance of the Lord at the time of the death is neither due to past karma nor due to the spiritual endeavors during this life. It is only due to the grace of the Guru or God.

- Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Every moment of our life that is spent without the thought of God is indeed a waste!!

---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

One should constantly repeat the names of God irrespective of any activity that he might be involved in.

---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

The Truth is invisible; falsity is apparent. The toughest job on Earth is that of a Guru who makes you forget the apparent and realize the invisible.

 -- Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

In order to light a lamp a wick is essential. But this alone does not suffice, since oil is also needed. If there is no oil in the lamp the wick will be wholly burnt out. The light will also die out. It is the oil poured into the lamp that protects the wick from burning out. It is only the oil that also helps the lamp burn continuously.

Likewise, if a man does not enjoy the Grace of the Guru his 'prãrabdha' (destiny) will trouble him to the core. This is similar to the wick in a lamp that is bereft of oil. Here it is the Grace of the Guru that is akin to the oil poured into the lamp. 'Prãrabdha' shudders at the prospect of even approaching a 'jivã' who enjoys the Grace of the Guru.

When the lamp contains oil, the wick is protected from burning out even while the lamp is alight. Similarly, 'Prãrabdha' in the life of a 'jivã' does not trouble him who enjoys Guru's Grace.

The child is laid down in the cradle. Its mother is at work, inside and outside, but she holds her child in her thoughts. Like wise, even while one is performing one's duties, the mind should be left with God!!!

---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

First, tell the mind what you wish to tell the world. Once the mind believes, then your words will definitely create an impact on the world. If not, it would be just another thought.

---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

The Shastras clearly say that one can attain the highest state by Nama Kirtan alone. Any amount of other Sadhanas will not give liberation. It is only by Bhagavan Sri Krishna's grace that it can be attained. One day He will be pleased with the Nama Kirtan and provide us with the highest state of bliss. 

---- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

A wheel that spins at an extraordinarily high speed is wrongly perceived by the eye as being stationary. A Jnani who sits in a place, motionless, should not be mistaken as at rest, for, it is his power that drives all the activity in the world.

- Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

last breath

our last breathe should ensure that this is your last birth !!!
