Recalling the name is the way to salvation and the goals of meditation

Recalling the name is the way to ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

During the times, when Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji was residing in Khudkuli. At the dawn Swami Ji was in meditation portrait, at that moment Nagdev Ji asked the lord “Please give me the way to attain parmeshwar; Give me the process to chant parmeshwar; Give me the way to remember parmeshwar since I don’t have anything to remember the parmeshwar”.

After the hankering urge of Nagdev. Swami Ji said. Contemplation is generated only from the depth of soul. You must remember him every day. Every day you must chant the name. On this, Nagdev Ji asked. How the process should be. How I can learn this. To make the doubt clear, Swami Ji said, Recall the first four names during day and night time, but the fifth name must be recalled all the times.

10 reasons why we meditate
🚩 वेध – Perforation
🚩 बोध – Comprehension
🚩 अनुसरण – Pursuance
🚩 स्मरण – Remembrance
🚩 सभी निग्रहों का परिहार – Avoidance of all constraints
🚩 चरों ओर से आने वाले महद भूतों के कष्टों का निवारण – Redress the suffering of ghosts from all direstions
🚩 बिजली गिरने के समान दुखों का दूर करना – Removal of the restriction like lightning
🚩 सभी प्रकार से सहायता करना – To assist with all types
🚩 और परमेश्वर प्राप्ति करना – And to receive the parmeshwar
🚩 सभी प्रकार के आधिदैविक अधिभौतिक एवं आध्यत्मिक विघ्न कष्टों से बचाना – Lord save from the metaphysical, spiritual sufferings of all sorts of obstacles

With these ways and the goals, you can attain the divine spirit. never forgot the names. While standing, sitting, sleeping, eating, drinking, walking you must recall the names. On this, Mahadaisa asked the Lord. Prabhu ji, we will meditate about you. But, for whom you do meditation. Sarvadnya replied, i do meditation for the welness of all the souls and beside this i do remind about the moment when my Guru Shree Gundam Raul ji slaped me with his love.

चक्रधर स्वामीजी ने कहा इसी प्रकार पञ्च कृष्ण अवतारों के स्मरण के बाद अपने अपने गुरु निमित की भी याद करनी चाहिए। वेध गुरु, उपदेश गुरु, बोध गुरु, शाश्त्र उद्देश्य गुरु, दीक्षा देत गुरु एव अनेक प्रकार के गुरु निमितों को याद करना चाहिए।

नाम स्मरण ही उद्धार है। - Name recall is salvation.
नाम स्मरण से ही कल्याण है। - Remember the name for well-being.
नाम स्मरण ही मोक्ष का आधार है। - Recalling the name is the way to salvation.

Bhagwan Shree Krishna and the universe in his mouth

Bhagwan Shree Krishna and the uni...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

One day, while playing in the fields, little Krishna secretly ate mud. His friends went and told Yashoda about this. When Krishna returned home, Maa Yashoda caught Krishna by his ears and scolded him for putting dirt in his mouth. Krishna promptly replied that he had had a fight with his friends in the morning and to take revenge they were all lying and that Yashoda shouldn't believe them. He said that she was being unfair as she believed them instead of believing her son.

Yashoda ordered, If you have not taken any mud, then open your mouth. I shall see for myself.

Krishna obediently opened his mouth. But when Yashoda peered into his mouth, she was wonderstruck. She saw the entire universe: the mountains the oceans, the planets, air, fire, moon and the stars in his small mouth. Yashoda was stunned and began to wonder whether she were dreaming or actually seeing something extraordinary. She fell on the ground, unconscious.

When she recovered, she realised what had happened. The Lord Almighty, in all his glory, was before her very eyes. It was little Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu. Yashoda took the little boy on her lap and hugged him and cried with joy.

Surrender everything to me, I am the God: O Arjuna: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVIII, Verses 66

Surrender everything to me, I am ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Krishna said that during the last chapter since, he exhausted all other advice to Arjuna regarding:
1. Jnana Yoga: The path of external renunciation, where outside activity is given up in pursuit of inner enquiry.
2. Karma Yoga: It purifies the mind. It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work.
3. Raja Yoga: It does emphasize the importance of self-control, meditation, and inner discipline, which are core principles of Raja Yoga, and discusses various yogic paths including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Sarva-Dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma shuchah.

Lord Krishna said: Abandon all Dharma (duties) and just surrender unto me (the will of God). I shall deliver you from all bonds of Karma. Do not fear.

Three gates leading to the hell of self destruction: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVI, Verses 21

Three gates leading to the hell o...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

|| त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मन: ||
|| काम: क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ||
|| tri-vidhaṁ narakasyedaṁ dvāraṁ nāśhanam ātmanaḥ ||
|| kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet ||

There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul - lust, anger, and greed.

Therefore, all should abandon these three:
  • Lust (Kama): Beyond just physical desire, this represents an obsessive craving for sensory gratification. It creates a cycle of never enough, leading to frustration when the high inevitably fades.
  • Anger (Krodha): Often the byproduct of frustrated desire. When we don't get what we want, anger flares up, destroying our ability to think rationally and damaging our relationships.
  • Greed (Lobha): The bottomless pit. It convinces us that our worth is tied to what we possess, ensuring we remain eternally dissatisfied regardless of our success.

Bhagavad Gita - A way for Life

Bhagavad Gita - A way for Life

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

The Bhagavad Gita, which is a treasure house of Dharma, not only for Hindus but for all mankind. The Gita teaches us better concentration, overcoming anger, self-control, the art of right action, true happiness, devotion and so on.

Valuable learnings from Bhagavad Gita:
1️⃣ Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed.
2️⃣ One can become whatever one wants to be if one constantly contemplates on the object of desire with faith.
3️⃣ Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.
4️⃣ You grieve for those who are not worthy of grief, and yet speak the words of wisdom. The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead.
5️⃣ The evil doers, the ignorant, the lowest persons who are attached to demonic nature, and whose intellect has been taken away by Maya do not worship or seek Me.
