Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Remember the God in whom you move, the God who makes you move, the God who is all this vast universe, every atom, every huge star. Select a Name and Form for all this pervasive immanent God and keep those on your tongue and before your mental eye. That is what is called japasahitha dhyanam (meditation-cum-recitation of the Name). The Name...must flow in the mind in an uninterrupted stream. Naamasmarana is a yoga, a process of uniting with God; it is a means of chiththa viriththi nirodha---of calming the agitations of the mind, subduing the waves of emotions and feelings. The Naama (Name) must always be associated, while intent on the smarana (remembering, recalling), with the Naami (the Named One). It is not a mere sound; it has a significance, the symbol of a Form, of a Fact. All the obligatory as well as optional acts pertaining to the process of "living" can be gone through with the Name-awareness as the inspiring background.
