Radha’s Prem -Sivanand 44

Radha’s Prem -Swami Sivananda

Scene 4

Act 1

It costs you nothing to repeat His Name. Moksha cannot be had without Bhajan of Ram. Why are you wasting this pearl-like life in vain? Drink deep the Nectar of Ram Nam. Always remember Hari, the disc-bearer. Absolute bliss that gives liberation. Ever weigh the scales of Krishna’s Name. Murkha Raj:—Swamiji! We are deeply grateful to you for your kind and eloquent discourse. I think of doing Japa and meditation on the form of Lord Krishna from today. Will you tell me which Mantra I Should repeat? Jnana Dev: You can repeat the Maha Mantra. Don’t change this Mantra for some other till the end of your life. After all, there is no superior Mantra or inferior Mantra; all Mantras have the same effect and lead to the same goal. Stick to this Mantra and repeat it with devotion and full faith. Be firm in your conviction that you will soon attain your goal of Self-realisation through the repetition of this Mantra. By the way, tomorrow Swami Atmanandaji, a Yogi, will be visiting this Ashram. We will all assemble here at 7 a.m. tomorrow. If you wish you can leave for your place tomorrow afternoon. Murkha Raj: Very well, Swamiji. (Chorus) Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. (All disperse after prostrations, as usual.)
