Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Namaste. sankeertana aru shravana aru, smarana saadhanaa jaan, sabai saadhanaa shuunya sama, samarana praan sama maan! - Bhakti-Yoga Rasa-Avatar Jagadguru Sri Kripaluji Maharaj Meaning: Know that the essential parts of SADHANA (practice) of Devotion consists of loudly reciting, singing and chanting of the HOLY NAMES (kirtana), listening faithfully to His blissful exploits and glories (shravana) accompanied by the Loving REMEMBRANCE of Lord (smarana). WITHOUT CONTINUOUS (smarana) contemplation upon God, however, ALL kinds of devotional SADHANA are simply VOID and EMPTY!!! Know that loving remembrance of the Lord is the LIFE-BREATH of Divine Love Devotion, Prema Bhakti Sadhana. ---------- smarantah smarayantas ca mitho 'ghaugha-haram harim bhaktya sanjataya bhaktya bibhraty utpulakam tanum The devotees of the Lord constantly discuss the glories of the Lord among themselves. Thus they constantly remember the Lord Hari Who takes away from them everything inauspicious, and remind one another of His qualities and exploits. In this way, having been awaken to pure love of God by their devotional practice even within this world, their divinized bodies reveal signs of Divine Love ecstasy. Srimad Bhagavatam 11.3.31 Jaya Sri Radhey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
