We have the divine name and we have the tongue to say it, so where is the fear says Sri Bodhendra Swamigal. Namakeerthanam is the easiest, most suitable way and will yield the greatest benefits. Ramarajyam is not far we have to constantly chant nama and make others chant everywhere! ~ HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamigal

Agacha Agacha sajjana sangam mAgacha mAgacha durjana sangam

"Agacha Agacha sajjana sangam
mAgacha mAgacha durjana sangam"

Satsangham is durlabham. Wherever Satsangham is happening even if it is far off, Bhagavatham says "dUrE harikatha" do walk far distances to be in Satsangham. In Srimad Bhagavatham, Sukar tells Parikshith that which leg has not gone to attend satsangham is a wooden leg;which hand has never offered a flower to bhagavan is equal to the hand of the dead;which ear has never listened to the greatness of the bhagavan is a snake den;which house (it does not matter whether it has been built upto 5000 sq.ft or 3000 sq.ft is not important), where atleast 3 bhagavathas have not stepped in, is not a home.

Do not go into durjana sangam. This mind has a character, think of it as a basket and in that basket some things fall via the ears, some via the eyes, some via the mouth. So whatever the mind takes in, it catches it and asks for it again. If shown once, it is enough for the mind. The behaviour is similar to that of a deer or the bird. The deer always goes about grazing with a large group and likes being close together, likewise the birds fly together as a group. If you see an ant it goes in a line one behind the other. Sugar has been spilt here and I will observe the ants, the ants will follow a line and I would think not one ant will overtake the other and observe traffic rule so well whilst the human does not follow. Just like the ants, birds and other life forms who like to be in company, so is man too. He won't shun company and being together is his behaviour. When he wants to go to a cinema, drama, discourse, he would usually ask a friend to accompany him and will not go if the friend does not come with him. So that is the association, Group behaviour. So for the man who likes this company, keep the good people as your company, keep company of those who often talk about the bhagavan only as your friends. Those who say bhagavan is kripalu, dayalu, chant namasankeerthanam, read bhagavatham, only keep them as your friends. Why, because we may not get this human birth again, you may not know after how many births you may be born as human again, you may not know how the world would have changed then, whether you will be born in india, whether you will know about satsangham nor know if you will have a Guru. Acharyal says "punarapi jananam punarapi maranam punarapi jananii jathare shayanam iha samsaare bahudustaare kripayaa apaare paahi muraare". "Janani" means mother, "Jatar" means stomach, where the child is sitting - "Janani jatarE sayanam". There is water all around the child. The child let's out its waste in the water around its foetus and small worms come as a result. These worms bite the child and the child suffers as a result. When the mother eats ice cream or drinks hot coffee, the child suffers from it. Inside the womb it suffers a lot. Therefore it has the "janmAnthara smrithi" thinking about how in previous janma "Guruji came to my house and told me to perform namasankeerthanam, but I did not listen then and fought about that, I got angry and left the place. As a result, in this janma I came to be born like this. In this janma atleast when I am born, will my mother hold my little hands and ask me to tell Krishna Rama Govinda Hare Rama Krishna Govinda" or tell me to go to America and earn money and come, I don't know". Therefore "Be in sadhu sangam always, don't leave the sadhu sangam at any cost". Radhe Radhe
