Lord hari chanting

The punya, according to Shastras, obtained by studying Vedas, performing Yagnas, penances, donations, observing rituals, pilgrimages, performing Vaishvadeva, building Thaataka etc – all can be obtained by merely remembering/chanting the name of Lord Vasudeva
Sloka 58: A person’s desire, however small or big it is, will be instantly satisfied, if he worships Lord Vishnu will devotion
Sloka 59: O Maitreya! Just as gold and other metals melt away when exposed to fire, similarly all the sins melt away when one chants the name of Hari with devotion
Sloka 60: If one chants/sings the name of Lord Hari with devotion, even those sins – which will fetch the sorrow of unbearable hell and which are caused by Kali – will be destroyed
Sloka 61: Indra and others act as enemies in one’s pursuit to obtain Moksha in this easy way. But, one who depends upon Keshava obtains Moksha without any difficulties
Sloka 62: In the entire Jambudveepa island, surrounded by four oceans, there is none other than Keshava who have cure all our sins!
Sloka 63: The results one obtains by worshipping Lord Hari for 100 years in Kruta Yuga is obtained in Kali Yuga merely by chanting the name of the Lord
Sloka 64: But, as Kali Yuga progresses and Dharma reduces, then none will (be able to) chant the name of the indestructible and Moksha-giver Achyuta!
Sloka 65: Just as animals run away upon hearing a lion’s roar, so will all the sins of humans run away upon chanting (knowingly or unknowingly) the name of Lord Hari
Sloka 66: Brahma said:: The mantra called “Narayana” exists; The tongue is in one’s own control; Still people end up falling in terrible hell. What a surprise!
Sloka 67: Those who are subject to lots of sufferings; those who are troubled with many miseries; those who are physically incapable; those who are scared (of thieves and others); those who are suffering from terrible diseases; All these people will instantly lose all their trouble and obtain peace and happiness by the mere remembrance and chanting of the name of Narayana

To over come bhava sagara

For this universal ailment of the cycle of birth and death (bhava-roga), listening to spiritual discourses (sravana) and singing God’s name (kirtana) is a mandatory prescription. God’s Name, Vedas and Puranas must be recited and listened to. Performing all these, if you do not awaken your own inner consciousness (antah-karana), you will fall into perdition. Hence, to attain God’s Grace, the feeling of ‘I-ness’ (ahamkara), which makes you say, “I am the doer”, should be rooted out from your heart. Everyone learned or illiterate, should feel an overwhelming urge to know God. God has equal affection toward all His children, for to illumine is the nature of light. So too, uttering God’s name, one can progress in the realisation of God, another may perhaps do wicked deeds! It depends on your usage of the light. Remember - the Lord’s name is without blemish, always and forever. 

Excel Anyway !

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

- Mother Teresa

Silent pandu brother

Years of meditation and austerities in exile had rendered Pandu, the father of the Pandavas a wise and learned man. He had a premonition of his death and instructed his sons –

Years of celibacy and meditation in the forest have given me great knowledge which is embedded in my body. When I die, eat my flesh and all of you will be blessed with great knowledge. That shall be your true inheritance from me.

After Pandu died, his sons cremated his body, but could not bring themselves to follow their father’s instructions. But Sahadeva, the youngest of the sons noticed that ants were carrying a tiny piece of their father’s body before it burnt. Unable to resist himself, he took that piece and put it in his mouth.

In an instant, he knew everything about the world – all that had happened in the past, and all that was going to happen in the future as well.

He started running towards his mother and brothers to tell them about this, when he was stopped by a stranger –

Do you want God as your friend?

Yes said Sahadeva. Then, never voluntarily tell anyone about this wonderful gift of yours. And when any question is asked of you, always reply with another question he was instructed.

Sahadeva immediately realized that he was being addressed to by none other than the Supreme Lord himself. He agreed to these terms and lived a life where he always kept silent despite knowing all the events that were about to transpire and being able to do nothing about them.

As time went on, he realized that the future that he knew about could be deciphered by observing nature and celestial bodies very carefully. He is therefore credited with putting together various occult sciences which help man predict the future.

As for his whole life, Sahadeva kept waiting for people around him, including his brothers to ask the right questions of him and hence was always pictured as a silent, thoughtful person.
