Do Mantras or prayer to any particular deity alone lead to Moksha

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

We are all fortunate enough to be part of spiritual

groups to know more wonderful leelas of Divine. In

seeing HIM in different forms and through different

mantras and through different paths every individual

loves to come closer to the Divine. The ultimate goal

for everyone of us is to feel the Divine presence in

all walks of our life and enjoy every moment of our

life. Even one who is capable of cooking his own food

feels happy when somebody else prepares food for him

and offers it to him with love and affection. If one

can be contented with such a small gesture, imagine

the quatum of one's happiness if he surrenders

everything to his Devatha ( whom he sees as the

Parabrahma Swaroopa )loves him more than anything

else, and finds The Divine intervention, Direction and

Help one gets in times of need when all his near and

dear are in a helpless state.

 

It is not the Greatness of any Devatha or the

Mechanical chanting of any Mantra assure one of

Moksha. It is only the quantum of your true love

towards the Diety whom you like, and the manner in

which you call Him by His names with reverence and

pure love and enjoy the chanting as if you are tasting

a nectar, and accepting whatever is bestowed upon you

without any complaint by following simple line " God

Knows Better than Us " - " You put one step forwards

towards Him with sincerity He shall put Hundred steps

towards you.

 

When scriptures and Saints have time and again told us

" See Him in Everything " All worlds, planets,

creatures are all part of the Parabrahma swaroopa,

Manava Seva is Madhava Seva " , I fail to understand

why people see differences in GOD's themselves and

greatness of each Upasana. Let people take up any

Upasana, just encourage them to do it expecting only

Divine Companionship, then that person is bound to get

the Divine Bliss. When the Deity comes before us let

us seek His Love, a place for us near His LOTUS Feet

an opputunity to feel His presence allways, but not

dissapoint HIM by asking for all perishable things

which will surely one day divert us from the main

goal.
