Being in a foreign country, I spend my life in worldly pleasure even though I want to come out of it. I am my Guru’s devotee for more than 10 years and yet I am not ready to sacrifice my meaningless life for the sake of my Guru’s mission, while some of them, devote their life for my Guru’s service at their first darshan. Why am I not ready to give my meaningless life to such a noble cause?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
That is because Lord Krishna may think of taking you to His service at a later time.

Rama in the Form of the Divine Name ‘RAMA’ redeems all – even the worst sinner

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
What is Bhagavata dharma? Showing the way to the Almighty even to the lowliest of the lowly is Bhagavata dharma. Vaideeka dharma is very strict in its discipline. It curses people who do not follow the scriptures, to hell. But Bhagavata dharma shows the way even to a sinner. Thus, ‘Ahalya sapavimochana’ (lifting of the curse on Ahalya) is Bhagavata dharma.
The Divine Name of the Lord ('Bhagavan Nãma') has the power to redeem one and all. Was not Ajamila, the worst sinner, redeemed for the mere uttering of the Divine Name? He had named his youngest son 'Narayana' (the Divine Name of the Lord). He was deeply attached to this son. At the last moment of his life he called out 'Narayana!' addressing the son. But it was enough for the deeply Compassionate Lord. He saved Ajamila. Ahalya was redeemed from the curse and made immaculate by the dust of the Holy Feet of Rama. And, in today's world Rama still exists in the form of His Divine Name 'R A M A'! 'Name' and the 'Named' are one and the same. They are not different from each other. So, would not Rama in the Form of the Divine Name 'RAMA' redeem all – even the worst sinner?

Once Sri Swamiji was asked,
'Which sampradaya (tradition) is followed here? Pancharatram or Vaikansam or …'
Sri Swamiji quipped, 'We follow Prema sampradaya!'

Please bless me with food which is enough to satisfy my hunger and a cloth to cover my body and allow me to stand at your door steps. Leaving the desires and anger, bless me to sing your divine names.

Sant Kabir
मैं गुलाम मैं गुलाम मैं गुलाम तेरा । तूंचि मेरा सच्चा साई नाम लेऊं तेरा ॥ |
रूप नहीं रंग नही नही बरन छाया । निर्विकार निर्गुनही तूंचि रघुराया ॥ |
एक रोटी दे लंगोटी द्वार तेरा पावूं । काम क्रोध छोङकर हरीगुन गाऊं ॥ |
मेहरबान मेहरबान मेहेर करो मेरी । दास कबीर चरन खडा नजर देख तेरी ॥ |
Sant Kabir says
“I am Thy servant! I am Thy servant! I am Thy servant! Please grant me the real name.
You are beyond form and colors.
Please bless me with food which is enough to satisfy my hunger and a cloth to cover my body and allow me to stand at your door steps. Leaving the desires and anger, bless me to sing your divine names.
Please bless me and take me as your servant and I shall always rejoice the sight of your Divine feet always.”
