Nama That works

After a few days gap of attending the Nama chanting at Paranur, I am here to share with you some insights of the experiences that show how the chanting nama brings you near to God and create a changed and instilled peace of mind.

I am sure that, for all those fortunate persons who were able to attend the grand Nama chanting Yagya (sacrifice) would have experienced a lot of change in their thinking, speech and action. Even without asking for you get the grace showered on you. The God becomes very pleased and would do all the good that is need for you.
This happened to me to after my return from the chanting. For those who are interested in the statistics, I was blessed with a 6 day participation overall in the 30 days festival of Nama Yagya, averaging 5 to 6 hours daily putting my chanting hours to just a mere 30 hours out of the 720 hours of no stop chanting by a group of sadhus and bakthas.

I was attending my office as usual and that day, my manager called me to inform me that I was promoted and only in the recent time I was given a change in my responsibilities and role, so that it would no really trouble me too much and i would be left free to take care of some of my personal problems, at least for some time now. This promotion was indeed expected a long time back, and we were not sure how our company was going to respond to the us. This was as surprise for me. And things seemed to move more peacefully now.

I showed my orders to my Guru - Muralidhara Swamiji and he aptly blessed me saying that it was the grace of God on me to have that promotion. In my mind I was just wondering and he said the same, Yes that was really the grace of God, and whether I will be able to take it the same way if i get some trouble or change in my job (not as the way the society expects). The small child Prahalda (The puranic baktha) was able to take all the troubles as the blessings of the Lord, The great king Ambarisha (another great puranic personal) was serving the lord in spite of having all the wealth that God has given him. Will I be able to pass the same way!!! My whole life, in stark peace and having my whole faith unshaken at the foot of the Lord Hari and my beloved Guru? I believe, he has taken me over, irrespective of how I was, and here I stand as a person who holds a strong belief in the power of the Nama and the grace of the almighty, who is ever drawing me closer to himself.
