Inner Transformation Series – 5 - The Protection Shield – Last Part

[Ravishankar.G]

Dear All,

Contd...

Just as it is wiser to protect the sweet by making a fort with water rather than try to drive away the ants, it is wiser to protect our inherent divinity by chanting the Divine Names of the Lord and making a fort of it instead of trying to fight each of our negativities. Following dharma itself is a fort. But if we find it tough to adhere to
some dharma, the easiest dharma that can be adopted by all is the dharma of Nama kirtan, chanting the Names of the Lord.

The Divine Names will serve as a fort and protect us. It can be the Name of any deity. It can be Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Muruga or any other according to one’s taste and culture. The beauty is, the Divine Names exist not only in India or its religion, but other religions born in other countries also talk of chanting the Divine Names of the Lord. Chanting the Divine Names of the Lord is the common dharma, a common fort of protection across the world for all. This is the way to protect ourselves from the ills of the world. Can we change the world? We don’t
know! It's not in our hands. Instead of crying out loud about how bad the world is and feel helpless, we can do something that is within our capability and that is chanting the Divine Names of the Lord.

When we travel in an airplane, in case of a reduction in the oxygen level, we are advised to first wear our oxygen masks before helping others with their masks. How true! Unless we are fit ourselves, how can we help others? So before helping others, before protecting the world, let us protect ourselves by chanting the Names of the Lord.

The Divine Names will protect us from the adharma (unrighteousness) of the world and save our inherent divinity, love and dispassion. When the transformation happens in the individual, his very presence will spread the fragrance of love and understanding all around. And THAT will certainly change the world for better.
