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

Krishna or Rama or any name in whatever you do even if silently  if

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.
