Janmashtami Message from Sri Sri Swamiji

Today, on this auspicious occasion of Janmastami, let us celebrate the descent of the 'Poornam Brahma Sanathanam' - the birth of the birthless God - our beloved Thakurji - Sri Krishna.

To the people who chant His Name - the Mahamantra today, Krishna shall burn the burden of all their sins;
To the fortunate devotees who celebrate His divine descent today, Krishna shall make their whole life a divine celebration;
To those who read Srimad Bhagavatam this divine day, Krishna shall bless with deep devotion;
To those who give prasadam to the hungry today, Krishna shall bless with ample food ever. Devotees who remember the Divine Leelas of Krishna today will never be forgotten by Krishna especially when they need Him the most.

Let us all join as one loving family of the Supreme Lord - Krishna and celebrate this wonderful day with joy, love and faith!

On this day,
may He fulfill all our prayers;
may He bestow us happiness and prosperity;
may He fill our hearts with love and kindness;
may He bless us with everlasting peace and harmony.
-Sri Sri Swamiji

Song Of The Day

குறுக்கு வழி தேடும் மாந்தர்களே (எதற்கும்)
குறுக்கு வழி தேடும் மாந்தர்களே !
இந்த குற்றால குறத்தி குறி சொல்வேனைய்யா!

காசு பணம் செலவழித்து நீ காத தூரம் போக வேண்டாம்
குருநாதன் பாத தீர்த்தம் கங்கையாம் புனித யமுனையாம்!

பாபத்திற்குப் பரிகாரம் என்று அங்கும் இங்கும் அலைய வேண்டாம்
குருநாதன் பார்வை பட்டபின்பு பாபம் என்றும் ஒன்றுள்ளதோ!

பக்தி வளர என்ன வழி என்று பரிதவிக்க வேண்டாமே
குருநாதன் அமுது செய்ததை உண்டால் பக்தி தானே வளருமே

முக்தி அடைய என்ன வழி என்று முட்டி மோத வேண்டாமே
குருநாதன் திருவடி தூளியில் அந்த முக்தி இருக்குதய்யா!

நான்கையும் கை கொள்வீரானால் உங்கள் பார்வை உள்ளே திரும்பிடுமே
உள்ளே உள்ளே போக போக எல்லை இல்லா ஆனந்தமே!

நல்ல பலனும் சொல்லிவிட்டேன் எனக்கு காசு பணமும் வேண்டாமே!
குருநாதனிடம் என் பொருட்டு ஒரு வார்த்தை சொல்வீரய்யா !

Picture Of The Day

Meditation and silence are inseparable.
Meditation and fasting are inseparable.
Meditation and solitude are inseparable.

Above all, meditation and prayer are inseparable!

Thought for Everyone

Though sun's rays are spread equally all over, yet when they are passed through a lens irecting them through a single point they have the power to burn up the object directed at.

Likewise, by chanting a particular name of the Lord repeatedly, single-pointedness of mind is achieved.

- Maharanyam Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Thought For The Day - 17 Mar 2010

In general, one accrues merits when he offers something in charity and not when they receive something from others. Whereas, one accrues merits both, while offering something to a Mahan as well as receiving something from them"

"To control the breath, mind and senses is Vedanta.
To turn all the senses in the service of God or Guru is Bhakti"

Thought For The Day – 20 May 2009

Nama Kirtan has absolutely no restrictions. You can chant it with mala or without Mala. There are no prescribed procedures, no rules or regulations. Hence you can chant it any way, at any time and any place.

Thought For The Day – 24 Mar 2009

 

The more you chant a Mantra, the quicker you realize its potency.
From that perspective, one gets the unlimited privilege of chanting the Mahamantra anywhere and any time.
So this mantra is alone enough to get liberation in the age of Kali.
No need to confuse.

- His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Thought For The Day – 17 March 2009

Stop analyzing yourself.
Believe only in the grace of God, have faith and take life as it comes.
Keep chanting the Mahamantra regularly.
That will verily protect you.

Thought For the Day – 09 March 09

There are lakhs of temples, thousands of Holy Kshetras and hundreds of holy Thirthas.
To visit such Kshetras or take a dip in such thirthas is not difficult at all.
What is most difficult is to have the darshan of a self-realized Mahatma.
That is indeed the rarest of the rarest!

- His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
