Guest guest Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Lord Narayana once called His divine sage Narada for a mission. "A worm is just born on earth. Go there and tell my name.", said Lord Narayana. The sage went and said, "Om Namo Narayanaya". The worm died. Narada was shocked and reported to Lord Narayana. Lord Narayana asked Narada to do the same thing to a just born bird. The new-born bird died immediately after hearing the name. Then Lord narayana asked Narada to tell His name to a calf just born. Narada went and said the same thing and the calf died. Lord Narayana then said, "There is a baby born to a king just now. Tell my name to the baby.". Narada had had enough, "Lord, I have already killed 3 beings by spelling your name. I do not want to kill any other being. Moreover, the king maypunish me if the baby dies." Lord Narayana, "Don't worry. Do what I say." Narada, half-convinced, went and said, "Om Namo Narayanaya" to the baby. To his surprise, the baby started talking and thanked him. The baby explained, "I was born as a worm, a chick and a calf before and you helped me progress through rebirth by saying the Lord's name.Now I'm happy to be born as a human child."Such is the power of the Lord's name.
