Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 "Says Thakur, 'When just at the name of Hari or Rama your hairs stand on end and tears flow from your eyes, know it for certain that sandhya and other daily services will not be needed any more. And other daily services are over for you. You have then gained the right to give up karmas. Karmas, indeed, fall off on their own. In that state mere repetition of the name of Rama, or Hari, or Omkar is enough.'” - Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, recorded by "M." in Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita, page 49 Yours, Shivaram Das one_kamal wrote: >Greetings and salutations, > If one wore an unblessed rudraksha mala during pranayam and >chanting, would'nt it automatically get charged?

But they never reflect that he who is called Krishna is also called Shiva and bears the name of the Primal Energy, Jesus and Allah as well---the same Rama with a thousand names.

Can we imagine that it is not jal; but only pani or water? How ridiculous! The substance is one under different names, and everyone is seeking the same substance. Let each man follow his own path. If he sincerely and ardently wishes to know God, peace be unto him! He will surely realize Him.” Sri Ramakrishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dear Shivaramji, This is a great teaching, thanks for shareing Sri Ramakrishna's words. Best wishes, Kamal. A curve of the calm hauteur of far heaven Descending into earth's humility, Her forehead's span vaulted the Omniscient's gaze, Her eyes were two stars that watched the universe. The Power that from her being's summit reigned, The Presence chambered in lotus secrecy, Came down and held the centre in her brow Where the mind's Lord in his control-room sits; There throned on concentration's native seat He opens that third mysterious eye in man, The Unseen's eye that looks at the unseen, When light with a golden ecstacy fills his brain And the Eternal's wisdom drives his choice And eternal Will seizes the mortal's will. -From Sri Aurobindo's Savitri , Shivaram Das <shivaramdas@n...> wrote: > "Says Thakur, > 'When just at the name of Hari or Rama your hairs stand on end and tears > flow from your eyes, know it for certain that sandhya and other daily > services will not be needed any more.
