Hey Ram .....

Jai Gurudev !!

What effect does the continuous chanting of the name of a Guru or God  make ?Does it really have any sense ?An atheist would definitely say a "No !" ...Others would say , "Ofcourse yes, it brings a positive vibration !"

I do remember reading a story elsewhere sometime ago . 

The train was moving at a fast pace ...quite crowdy .One person was sporting a peculiar behaviour in that lot. He kept on murmuring to himself continuously . There was an young blood , sitting by the side of  him, who had seemingly got annoyed at this person's non stop lip movement . Further the  carefree attitude of that person tested the youth's patience even more. Unable to control himself , the youth interrupted him  ," Hey Mr , would you please stop that and keep quiet ? So Irritating !!

"Mr.Peculiar , slowly lifted his head up and looked at the youth , " I'm chanting the name of the Lord , my friend" , he said .

"What difference does it really make , Sir ? I guess , it's just a blind belief . " bounced back the youth .

Mr.Peculiar paused for a moment and started uttering  abusive words ....

The youth got wilder at this unexpected behaviour of Mr.Peculiar . Unable to control himself , he caught hold of his collars , " Hey you , what do you think of yourself man ? "

 

On this , Mr.Peculiar stopped his abusive language and resorted to his chanting of  "Ram ...Ram....Ram " in a soft rhythmic tone.

The youth visibly cooled down in few moments and quietly started to gaze outside through the window.

Mr.Peculiar smilingly said in a friendly manner , " What Sir, do you get to see the difference it makes on chanting the the name of the Lord ? Has it not brought a harmony in the mood and behaviour  of the persons around ? "

 A beautiful smile blossomed in the youth's face ,in response...

Infact , the Hindu Mythology has defined many divine characters to indicate numerous unique divine qualities , a man can acquire in his lifetime. 

Say for instance,  

*Ram * character depicts " Valour , Righteousness , Truth "

*Hanuman * character indicates " Supreme Devotion and Strength "

*Shiva * marks " Inner peace , Dispassion , Meditative powers "

* Shakthi " means as the name indicates "Power , Dynamism , Knowledge "
Hence by chanting the names of a particular deity , the associated divine qualities gets imbibed in the individual who does the chanting meticulously and with devotion .
The chanting of " Ram " makes a person shine with His characters of Righteousness , Truth and Valour .

And so with other names of the deities.

The peaceful vibration can be noticed in the atmosphere , when one chants the God's name. No doubt !!

Just give it a try and check for yourself !!

Love & smiles....
