Benefits of Japa - (Continuous Chanting of a Mantra)

Dear All,

Japa (repetition of the mantra checks the force of the thought current moving towards objects. It forces the mind to move towards God, towards the attainment of eternal bliss. Eventually it helps us to have the vision of God. The mantra-power is hidden in every mantra. Whenever the spiritual aspirant shows lack of vigour in his sadhana (practice), the mantra sakti (power of the mantra) reinforces the sadhana sakti (energy) of the aspirant. Constant and prolonged repetition of… Continue

Swami Sivananda About Fear

Dear All,

Good evening to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead …..

Man creates trouble and misery for himself. Give up all sorts of fears.

Stand up like a lion. Draw courage from within. There are many people who are so timid that they will not move around at night. Even when they see a cat at night, they tremble. What a shame.

They are embodiments of timidity. There are some sanyasins (monks) who repeat: "SHIVOHAM SHIVOHAM" ("I am Siva") - but they… Continue

Dear All,

A hungry man comes home. He has so many diseases in his body that only a very few foods are non-allergic to him, given the amount of medication he is taking. In addition he has his own likes and dislikes in the matter of food. One has to feed him to satisfy his hunger, and at the same time, give him that food that tastes well to his taste buds, does no harm to his health and does not affect any medication that he is taking. Nama Kirtan is that spiritual diet that can be taken… Continue
