But you seem to be struck somewhere in the middle. While appreciating the power of a mantra like 'Rama Nama', you seem to be more tied up with your leftist orientations and western philosophical understanding of religion. I've seen all thinking individuals with a good heart continuously falling into this trap of the middle path because of their innate leanings towards Marxism. JNU spoils many of them in deeper ways than they would agree. And you seem to be no exception to that. Why don't you keep your leftist sympathy in tact, but a little aside for a while? Why are you so apprehensive of getting deeper into the experiences in oriental religiosity? <br /><br />A 'mantra' is supposed to be a thought-form crystallised into a syllable or a word or a group of words, capable of spiritual transformation. Though you may call it as a subconscious self-hypnosis, it produces certain effects and experiences which are elevating. Of course, narcotic and psychotropic substances may poduce similar effects. But they are accompanied by very deleterious side-effects. If you agree with that, then don't you think 'mantras' are a much better option? Don't you want long lasting highs instead of ephemeral ups? Certain thoughts are powerful and certain words expressing those thoughts are much more powerful. It is all scientific and nothing speculatory.<br /><br />The 16th century poet Tulsi Das, says in his epic poetry "Ramacharitamanasa" that the word 'Rama' is more powerful than Rama Himself. According to Tulsi Das, 'Rama' is a mantra, the chanting of which would elevate anyone to higher consciousness. Therefore it is not the person but the word Rama which is more important and more powerful. Rama is supposed to mean the divine one which is omnipresent in all the atoms of this universe. It is very much possible that all the energies and elements in the cosmos can be influenced by the chanting of the mantras. More than Hinduism, Budhism gives crucial significance to mantras. Immerse into it without any hang-ups. <br /><br />Oh Mani Padme Hum!chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172536952662444170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634607205622614424.post-10293223799865849482010-03-26T11:12:03.320+05:302010-03-26T11:12:03.320+05:30Your ability to craft an eminently watchable and l...Your ability to craft an eminently watchable and lovely 3 hr. movie from a script fit for a 15 minute documentary film is exceptional. Not that such scripts are not handed over to us also. But we can only make a shoddy 2 minute film out of it. Such instances as the one narrated, comes in our lives also. But we do not have the wherewithal to see them the way you see them. Satya, Hats off to you. <br /><br />LAL SaLAAM!<br />Oops! RAM!

It can only be felt/experienced by the one who devotes himself to HIM even in part. What to talk of the beauty experienced by those who compeletely surrender unto HIM. After experiencing that beauty what other solution they can offer. Therefore, Swami Ramsukhdas could not have done any thing else other than instructing to chant HIS name. <br /><br />It is definitely not running away from the problems of existence, daily life or the problems faced by the world. Because he is infinite and omnipresent and the world exists in HIM only, therefore who are we solve the problems of the world. Let LORD RAMA, the one who has created the problems in the first place solve them. To us the only instruction is to take His name and merge ourselves in HIS love or Parmanand. After that, whatever divine instructions we shall receive we would honestly fulfill them. But not before!<br /><br />RAM!
