  • OM SRI RAM JAYA RAM JAYA JAYA RAM
     

    Samarth Ramdas of Sajjanghad had propogated the above Nama for Rama Sakshatkar. He did 13 crore times and had Rama Darshan.Sri Ram Das who is dearly called 'Beloved Papa' of Khananghad, Anandashram by prefixing "OM" assured that one would have Rama Darshan if he repeats 9 crores of times.T his Ashram has a target of 15,500 crores for world Peace and Prosperity. They have been doing for over seven decades. The Shirdi Sai Sharan group of Florida, US has fixed a target of 100 crore of "OM SAI SRI SAI JAYA JAYA SAI" Nama japa for World Peace and Prosperity. Some of you may like to know how the 'Rama Mantra' was originated.

    Sri Swami Sivananda Maharaj narrated in 1944 October issue of Sai Sudha as follows:

    Once upon a time, Sri Rama after His return from Lanka was sitting in His Darbar with Sage Narada, Viswamitra, Vasishta and host of other people. Suddenly Sage Narada posed a question " Whether Naam (LOrd's name) or Nami (Lord HImself) is superior?" As they could not arrive at a conclusion, Sage Narada Himself gave the verdict "Certainly Naam is superior to Nami." He wanted to prove his verdict and played a small drama. He told Hanumanji not to salute Viswamitra, a Rajarshi. Sri Hanuman obeyed this and incurred Viswamitraa's displeasure. Narada approached Viswamitraa " O Great Rishi!!! Hanuman did not respect you. Please punish him." Enraged Viswaamitra went to Rama and explained how he was insulted by Hanuman and also suggested to award death sentence.

    Hanuman was very much agitated and told Narada he did as per the latter's suggestion only. Sage Narada assured nothing would happen "Repeat Maha Mantra 'SRI RAM JAYA RAM JAYA JAYA RAM',it would protect you." Next day Hanumanji had a bath in Sarayu river, with folded hands repeated the Mantra. Though Lord Rama rained the arrows on Hanuman, even Brahmastra would not touch Hanuman. On seeing Rama's helpless condition Narada approached Viswamitra and told Rama should be given rest as He was tired. He further added " You have understood the Glory of Sri Rama's Name." Then Hanumanji prostrated to Rama and also Viswamitra.

    Sri Ram   -----  'Sambhodhana' or the locative addressing Rama

    Jay Ram  -----  Is His praise

    Jay Jay Ram ---- Total Surrender to Him

     While reepeating this Mantra,have this in mind "O Rama!! I Salute Thee, I Surrender to Thee"

  • JAI SAI RAM!!!

    There is a very ancient Hindu story: Narada, the heavenly messenger, was once going to Heaven to see the god Vishnu. On the way he met an old sannyasin and asked him, "I'm going to meet God. Is there any message you would like me to give?"
     
    The old sannyasin replied, "When you meet Him please ask Him how much longer I shall have to wait? I have been a sannyasin the last three births."

    Narada said he would surely give the message. He went a little further and found another sannyasin sitting under a tree. He was young and lost to this world as he sat playing his one-stringed instrument. Narada asked him jokingly, "Well, brother, have you any message for Him? I'm on my way to Vishnu's abode." The young man kept singing, his eyes closed.

    Narada shook him by the shoulder and asked again.

    He answered, "No, brother, I have nothing to ask. His grace is boundless; whatever my wants He has already provided. Don't trouble Him on my account. You needn't even mention my name because I have everything I could wish for and more. If possible just convey my gratitude to Him."

    When Narada returned and met the old sannyasin, he told him, "Forgive me, brother, but Vishnu said, 'As many leaves as there are on this tree, so many births will this man have before attaining.'

    The old sannyasin was filled with rage. He tore the book he was reading, threw away the mala, and shouted in anger, "What injustice! For three births I have done penances, tortured myself, and still so many births to go! It cannot be!"

    Narada then approached the young man under the second tree. "You didn't request it, but I asked God on your behalf how long it will be before you attain, and He said, 'As many leaves as there are on the tree where he sits, so many births must he take before attaining.'"

    The young man jumped up with his instrument and began dancing with glee. "So soon? How high has He rated my worth! Look at the ground! There are so many leaves. Look at the other trees covered by leaves, but He has counted only the leaves of this tree for me. Only so many births? How wonderful! I am not worthy of it. How will I bear His grace? And how will I express my gratitude to Him?"

    He was mad with joy and danced round and round the tree, and danced around Narada.

    He could not contain his joy. The story goes that thus dancing, he attained samadhi. His body fell away. What was to have happened after infinite years happened immediately. For him who has such patience, attainment does not take a moment longer to come.

  • JAI SAI RAM!!!

    There is a story about Rinzai. He was living with his master for almost twenty years, and one day he came and sat in the seat of the master. The master came; he looked at Rinzai sitting in his seat. He simply went and sat where Rinzai used to sit. Nothing was said, but everything was understood.

    Everybody was puzzled -- ``what is happening?'' Finally Rinzai said to the master, "Are you not offended? Have I insulted you? Have I shown ungratefulness in any way?"
     
    Rinzai laughed. He said, "Now you have become a master. You have come home; from the student to disciplehood, from disciplehood to devotion, and from devotion to mastery. I am immensely pleased that now you can share my work. I need not come every day now; I know somebody else is there with the same aura, with the same perfume.

    "In fact, you have been very lazy. This should have happened three months before; you cannot deceive me. For three months I have been feeling that this man is unnecessarily holding my feet. He can sit on the seat, and for a change I can hold his feet. It took three months for you to gather courage."

    Rinzai said, "My God, I was thinking nobody knew about it, that it was just inside me. And you are giving me the exact date of when it started. Yes, it has been three months. I have been lazy and I have not been courageous enough. I was always thinking that this is not right, it doesn't look right."

    The master said, "If you had waited one day more I was going to hit you on your head. Three months is enough time to decide, and you were not deciding... and existence has decided."

  • The Blessing - Offering Food to God

    In Sanskrit the Gita verses used before food are:



    Brahmaarpanam, brahma havir,
    Brahmaagnau brahmanaa hutam,
    Brahmaiva tena gantavyam,
    Brahma karma samaadhinaha.
    Aham vaishvaanaro bhutvaa,
    Praaninaam dehamaashritaha,
    Praanaapaana samaa yuktaha,
    Pachaamy annam chatur vidham.
    which mean:

    The offering is God, the act of offering is God,
    Offered by God in the sacred fire which is God.
    He alone attains God
    Who in all his actions is fully absorbed in God.
    I am the all-pervading cosmic energy,
    Lodged in the bodies of living beings.
    United with their ingoing and outgoing life-breaths,
    I consume all the various foods.
    This prayer before eating removes all the defects and flaws in the vessels and in the articles of food, as well as removing any negative influence acquired during the cooking process. Before offering the prayer the food is merely food; but once you offer it to the Lord it becomes consecrated food.

  • Japa Yoga


    In this Iron Age, Japa Yoga is an easy way for attaining God-realisation.

    Japa is the repetition of any Mantra or Name of the Lord with Bhava and feeling.

    Japa removes the impurities of the mind, destroys sins and brings the devotee face to face with the Lord.


    Every Name is filled with countless powers; just as fire has the natural property of burning things, so also the Name of God has the power of burning the sins and desires.

     
    Sweeter than all sweet things, more auspicious than all good things, purer than all pure things, is the Name of the Lord.


    Name of the Lord is a boat to cross this Samsara. It is a weapon to destroy the mind.


    The repetition of the Mantra again and again generates great spiritual force and momentum and intensifies the spiritual Samskaras or impressions.


    Mananaat Trayate iti Mantrah: By the Manana, constant thinking or recollection, one is released from the round of birth and death; so it is called Mantra.


    Repetition of Mantra raises vibrations. Vibrations give rise to definite forms. Repetition of Om Namah Sivaya gives rise to the form of Lord Siva in the mind; repetition of Om Namo Narayanaya gives rise to the form of Lord Hari.

  • continuation of JAPA YOGA


    The glory of the Name of God cannot be established through reasoning and intellect. It can certainly be experienced or realised, only through devotion, faith and constant repetition.


    Japa is of three kinds, viz., Manasic Japa, Upamsu Japa or humming, and Vaikhari Japa, loud and audible Japa.


    Mental repetition of Japa, Manasic Japa, is more powerful than loud Japa.


    Get up at 4 a.m. and do the Japa for two hours. Brahmamuhurtha is most favourable for Japa and meditation.


    If you cannot take a bath, wash your hands, feet, face and body, and sit for Japa.


    Face north or east when sitting. This enhances the efficacy of the Japa.


    Sit on a Kusha-grass seat or deer-skin or rug. Spread a white cloth over it. This conserves body-electricity.


    Do some prayer before starting the Japa.


    Have a steady pose. Have Asana-Jaya or conquest over Asana. You must be able to sit in Padma, Siddha or Sukha Asana for three hours at a stretch.


     
    When you repeat the Mantra, have the feeling or mental attitude that the Lord is seated in your heart, that Sattva or purity is flowing from the Lord to your mind, that the Mantra purifies your heart, destroys desires and cravings and evil thoughts.


    Do not do the Japa in a hurried manner, just as a contractor tries to finish his work in a hurried way. Do it slowly with Bhava, one-pointedness of mind and single-minded devotion.

     
    Pronounce the Mantra distinctly and without mistakes. Do not repeat it too fast or too slow.


    Use not the index finger while rolling the beads. Use the thumb, the middle and the ring fingers. When counting of one Mala is over, revert it and come back again. Cross not the Meru. Cover your hand with a towel.


    Be vigilant. Keep an alert attention during Japa. Stand up and do the Japa when sleep tries to overpower you.


    Resolve to finish a certain minimum number of Malas before leaving the seat.


    Mala or rosary is a whip to goad the mind towards God.


    Sometimes do the Japa without a Mala. Go by the watch.


    Practise meditation also along with Japa. This is Japa-Sahita-Dhyana. Gradually Japa will drop and meditation alone will continue. This is Japa-Rahita-Dhyana.

    Have four sittings for Japa daily—early morning, noon, evening and night.


    A devotee of Lord Vishnu should repeat “Om Namo Narayanaya”; a devotee of Lord Siva, “Om Namah Sivaya”; a devotee of Lord Krishna, “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya”; a devotee of Lord Rama, “Om Sri Ramaya Namah” or “Om Sri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram”; a devotee of Devi, Gayatri Mantra or Durga Mantra.


    It is better to stick to one Mantra alone. See Lord Krishna in Rama, Siva, Durga, Gayatri.


    Regularity in Japa Sadhana is most essential. Sit in the same place and at the same time.


    Purascharana is repetition of the Mantra Akshara-Laksha, one lakh of times for each letter.


    Japa must become habitual. Even in dream you must be doing Japa.
    Japa Yoga is the easiest, quickest, safest, surest, and cheapest, way for attaining God-realisation. Glory to the Lord! Glory, glory to His Name!


    O man! Take refuge in the Name. Nama (Name) and Nami (Lord) are inseparable.


    THUS ENDS JAPA YOGA

    JaiSaiRam.

  • JAI SAI RAM!!!

    Death is bound to come one day, and the best way is not to die in the bed. Almost ninety-nine percent of people do that. And people like me have been known to find better ways of dying.

    A Zen Master was dying. In the last moment he opened his eyes and asked his disciples who had gathered -- thousands of disciples; he was a great Master -- he asked, "Can somebody suggest how to die? Because people just go on dying on the bed.

    I would like to try something new!"

    They were shocked! What kind of question was he asking? Who had ever heard of people enquiring about how to die? People don't even ask how to live! People go on living without asking how to live, and here is a man who cannot even die without asking how to die. He wants to make it a little celebration, something special.

    Seeing that the disciples were silent, he himself suggested, "Have you ever heard about anybody dying in a sitting posture, Buddha -- like, in PADMASAN?"

    One man said, "Yes, I know of a Zen Master who died sitting in the lotus posture."

    Then the old man said, "That won't do! If somebody has already done it, it is not worth repeating. Have you heard of anybody dying standing, like Mahavira?" Mahavira used to stand while meditating. That is unique, very unique; people don't ordinarily meditate standing. That's why you will find thousands of Mahavira's statues in India standing. Of Buddha, you will never find a single statue standing; he is always sitting. The sitting posture has always been used as a meditation posture, but Mahavira was of his own type.

    Somebody said, "Yes, we have heard -- we have not seen but we have heard: in ancient days one Zen Master had died standing."

    The old man said, "Then that won't do. Find out something soon, because death is coming close by! Have you ever heard," he asked, "of somebody dying standing on his head?"

    Now nobody had ever heard, nobody had ever even dreamt of anybody dying standing on his head, in SHIRSHASAN, the headstand.

    They said, "No, we have not heard, we have not even thought of it!"

    The old man said, "Then that's perfectly right!" He stood on his head.

    Now it was a problem to decide whether he had died or not. And the disciples were afraid also to disturb him now that he was standing on his head. They tried..."breathing seems to have almost disappeared. But how can a man go on standing on his head if he is dead? He will fall! What to do now? And there is no precedent!"

    Otherwise you know what to do when a man dies, what has to be done. But nobody had ever heard of anybody dying standing on his head, so there was no precedent: "Now what has to be done?"

    Somebody remembered that he had an old sister who was a nun; she lived in a monastery closeby; she was older than him. So they ran and they asked the old nun. She said. "I am coming. That old fool! Is this the way to die? I will teach him a lesson! And he has always been a nuisance, I tell you." The old woman said, "Even in his life he was doing eccentric things. Now is this a way to die?"

    She was not worried about death! She came and shouted at the old man, "This is not right! And doing such a stupid thing, and creating trouble for your disciples! Is it right for you? Get up and be normal!"

    So the old man laughed, got up, lay down on the bed and he said, "Okay, then I will die in a normal way" -- and died!

    Don't take death too seriously! Nothing is serious, neither life nor death, because nothing matters in the ultimate sense.

    Life and death are just episodes in the eternity of time, just soap bubbles -- life and death both.

  • A man is taking a walk on a sunny day, with the sun shining from his back. He saw his shadow long and tall in front of him and felt that he was able to cause a long shadow to appear and began to feel good about it, his ego growing. He continued to enjoy that sensation of greater being.
     
    He walked around the corner, and started walking toward the sun...and suddenly realized his shadow is not in front any more. That was an awakening for him. He thought to himself: Ego surfaces when I am away from the light, where is room for ego when I am facing the light?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    When you are looking to God, your ego disappears, it is only when you are not looking to God that ego appears......
