Srimadbhagavatham says, 'kalou nama sankirthanam' the surest easiest
way to get release from bondage in kaliyuga is through
namasankirthanam.
This does not mean that you must know music or be
capable of singing .Even repeating the name of God is
namasankirthanam.
The Vishnushasranama is a boon to mankind as it
contains thousand namas so that each one can select any one that
appeals to him.
More than that is the words of Lord siva toParvathi 'raamaraamethi raamethi rameraame manorame sahsranama
thaththulyamram raamavaranane.'
Ramanama is equivalent to the
thousand names of Hari.
Sant Kabir has said 'yo mukh raam nahim vomukh dhool bhari,'
In his mouth where Rama is not throw mud.
Our eldershave named their children with God's names so that one can say the
holy name at least unintentionally.
But nowadays we hear all sorts of
names most of them meaningless or with negative meanings just because
they sound nice.
I do not find fault with it as it is the will of the
parents to give whichever name they want to their children but it
rules out namasankirthan unless one consciously does it.
In this troubled times the name of the Lord is only protection and we should
resort to it in every walk of life.
Let us cultivate the habit of exclaiming
you are shy to say aloud. Then your subconscious mind will get hooked
on to the Lord and gradually it will percolate through your conscious
mind.
