Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 SMARANA BHAKTHI Smarana Bhakthi is the most powerful form of Bhakti among all other available types of Bhaktis. There is slight difference between “Sankeerthana Bhakti” and “Smarana Bhakthi”. The Sankeerthana bhakti is just like pronouncing the mantra like Om namashivaaya, Harerama, hare Krishna……, Om namo bhagavathe…..etc., Every Mantra is having it’s own power. It will always gives some vibrations in one’s mind due to it’s power. It’s like an example that, when a person gave a flower to another one from his hands, though the flower was taken by the other, the fragrance will be remained in the hands of previous person. Some of the persons are reciting the mantra with their lips but their thoughts are moving in other directions. But, as the mantra is having it’s own power, it will always gives vibrations and this type of Bhakti may be termed as Sankeerthana Bhakthi. Regarding Smarana Bhakti, one should always in the state of smarana of his deity. This smarana is very simple. At every moment of one’s leisure time, one can remember the form of his deity and one can recite the deity’s nama etc., God will feel happily with the smarana bhakti. Lord Krishna also says that….; “SATHATHAM KEERTHAYAM THOMA” it means, ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT ME . Whenever u are in leisure, try to always think about me. Especially Lord Dattatreya is Smarana priya. He likes the devotees who will always in smarana of his name. The smarana procedure is also very simple. One can recite the nama simply by sitting in one place or can recite while eating, reading or walking etc., That may be the main reason in the famous Datta Maala Mantra which starts that…. Om namo bhagavathe Dattatreyaaya, Smarana maatra santhushtaaya….. He will always be happy with his nama smarana. The Dattopanishad is also telling the same to all. So, please remember the form of Dattaguru by reciting his nama at all times and have the blessings of Lord Dattatreya to reach the stage of SALVATION. ::AVADHOOTHA CHINTHANA SHREE GURUDEVA DATTA :: subrahmanyam.bharathula datta_gururaya smarthrugaami-dattavaibhavam Everyone is raving about the all-new Mail beta.
