Power of Divine name-247:Question:Do you think that there is anything greater than God?

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All,Question 1: Swamiji,Do you think that there is anything greater than God? Sri Sri Muralidhara SwamijiYes,.. I believe that Faith is even greater than God. Suppose God appears before us, but we are doubtful if it is God or not , what is the use? But if you have faith,even a stone image can talk to you. So I believe that faith is the greatest of all. This faith should be firm and unshakable. Q- 2: I think I get what you are saying.Could you please illustrate this further, Swamiji... Sri Sri Muralidhara SwamijiLet me tell you a small anecdote in Shirdi Sai Baba's life. Once a lady devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba was very adamant that she should receive some sort of Upadesam

from him. But Baba refused to oblige. That lady went on a severe fasting. On seeing this, a few people informed Baba about this. Baba called her and softly asked her , "Do you think my Guru gave me any initiation or upadesam ?"She replied,"He must have Baba... , or how could you have become so exalted." Baba smiled and said, "My Guru asked me to give two coins as Guru Dakshina (offerings to Guru). I didn't know where to get the coins from. Sensing my plight he said, 'My dear son, I asked you two coins of Nista (Shraddha and unshakable faith) and Saburi (patience and perseverance) in me. I had unshakable faith in him. So should you. So.... now do you see that faith and patience are the greatest things.Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
