“Krishna is the lover of Radha. He displays many amorous pastimes in the groves of Vrindavana. He is the lover of the cowherd maidens of Vraja, the holder of the great hill named Govardhana, the beloved son of mother Yashoda, and the delighter of the inhabitants of Vraja. He wanders in the forests along the banks of the River Yamuna.”
This is the original nature of Krishna. He is Radha-Madhava; He is the lover of Srimati Radharani. And—kunja- vihari—He always enjoys the company of the gopis [cowherd girls] within the bushes of Vrindavana forest. Radha-madhava kunja-vihari. Not only is He the lover of Radharani, but—vraja-jana- vallabha—all the residents of Vrindavana love Krishna. They do not know anything else. They do not know whether Krishna is God or not. Nor are they very much harassed by the thought “I shall love Krishna if He is God.” Instead they think, “He may be God or He may not be God. Whatever He is, it doesn’t matter, but we love Krishna.”
That’s all. That is called unalloyed love. “If Krishna is God, then I shall love Him”—this is conditional love, not pure love. Krishna may be God or whatever He may be, but by His wonderful acts the Vrajavasis [residents of Vrindavana] are thinking, “Oh, Krishna is a very wonderful child. He may be some demigod.”
People are generally under the impression that the demigods are all-powerful. The demigods are powerful within this material world, but people do not know that Krishna is above all of them. Ishvarah paramah krishnah sac-cid-ananda- vigrahah. The highest demigod, Brahma, is giving his opinion: “The supreme controller is Krishna.”
So, as the residents of Vrindavana love Krishna without any condition, Krishna loves them without any condition.
Giri-vara-dhari. When the inhabitants of Vrindavana stopped the sacrifice to Indra, they were in danger because Indra became very angry. For seven days he incessantly sent very great, powerful clouds and rain over Vrindavana. When the inhabitants became very much disturbed, Krishna, although He was only a seven-year-old boy, saved them by lifting Govardhana Hill. In this way He taught Indradeva, “To stop your disturbance is the business of My little finger. That’s all.” So Indra fell to his knees before Krishna. These things you’ll find in our book Krishna.
As Gopi-jana-vallabha,Krishna’s only business is how to protect the gopi-jana [gopis]. Our Krishna consciousness movement is teaching how to become one of the gopi-janas. Then Krishna will save us from any danger, even by lifting a hill or a mountain. Krishna is so kind and so powerful. When Krishna lifted the hill He had not practiced some yoga system. He was playing like a child. But when there was some need, He manifested Himself as God. That is Krishna. Not that He has to go and practice some yoga system to become God. No. He is not that type of “God,” not a manufactured “God.” He’s God.
Yashoda-nandana, vraja-jana-ranjana. Krishna likes to be the child of a devotee. As the beloved child of Yashoda, He is called Yashodanandana, He wants to be chastised by His devotee father and mother, because everyone worships Him and nobody chastises Him. So He takes pleasure when a devotee chastises Him. That chastisement is service to Krishna. If Krishna takes pleasure in being chastised, then the responsibility is taken up by a devotee: “All right, I shall become Your father and chastise You.” When Krishna wants to fight, one of His devotees becomes Hiranyakashipu and fights with Him. Therefore, become an associate of Krishna and develop Krishna consciousness.
Yashoda-nandana, vraja-jana-ranjana. As the vraja-jana’s [Vrindavana residents’] business is how to satisfy Krishna, Krishna’s business is how to satisfy the vraja-jana. This is reciprocation of love.
Yamuna-tira-vana-cari. Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is wandering on the banks of the Yamuna River to please the gopis, the cowherd boys, the birds, beasts, and calves. They are not ordinary birds, beasts, calves, or men. They are on the top level of self- realization. Krita-punya-punjah—after many, many lives they got the position to play with Krishna.

HAPPINESS
14)HAPPINESS
There are people who are very poor and are very happy, on the other hand there are people who are rich and are un happy. So wealth only cannot make you happy.
If you are unhappy and getting sick instead of seeing a doctor go and try to meet your spiritual doctor which is your God weather he is Ram, Mohamad, or Christ or any one else in whom you have faith. Go to see him first try to talk to him and ask his advise and pray to him. He will give you pills of happiness and they will help you in curing your sickness and you will be happier. There are people who are very poor and are very happy, on the other hand there are people who are rich and are un happy. So wealth only cannot make you happy.
Ask him for help. God can help us only if we ask him to help us, he cannot make us happy or well if we don’t ask him. Most important thing is to have faith in him and pray to him and he will make you happier and better. Tell him your problem, ask him for directions and what ever directions he gives you have faith in his voice and follow him. Surrender to him and he will take care of you.Tell God that with his help you are going to be happier and feel better
HAPPINESS AND HEALTH GO TOGETHER : When you are happy you will see that you will feel healthier also and when you are healthy you will see that you are happy also. To be happy live a sin free life. Sin free life is described in every religion. If anything you do which is not approved by God it is sin. Follow the way God wants you to live you will see that you will be happy and healthy. Body illness is caused by tension, fear, stress, and living immoral and unhealthy life styles. God has shown humans to live a clean life without greed and sin, but when humans don’t follow Godly way then they become unhappy.
Every morning when I get up I thank God when I see light and the whole beautiful nature surrounded by trees, flowers, birds, animals, lakes, clouds and rays of Sun rising between clouds and trees. This all shows that a new beautiful day is again for us to be happy and enjoyment. When people die they don’t see the next day so imagine how lucky we are that we are still alive and our eyes are open to see beautiful things created by nature. We should not think of our past and look into our sorrows, pains, our short comings, and enemies who have hurt us but rather see how beautiful it is that we are alive and living and God is with us if no one else is there and be happy .God has still given us this beautiful nature and another day to live. Now start your day with beautiful memories what you have. It can be sound of a bird chirping, or a beautiful song, flowers in the garden and trees and animals or birds who are out and trying to find food this is all the life is all about and be happy.
Don’t let your sad thoughts take it over rather bring smile on your face again and again to be happy and think of the song you like and the people to whom you love and who is still there and is living weather he is close to you or far from you. If your loved one is far talk to any one who is close to you and that will make you happy. Change your attitude and you will see there are so many happy things around you just have to make yourself part of those small things.
Just smile no matter how sad you are. If you are finding it difficult to do then listen to some good music, meditate and do prayers. Go to Church, Temple, or to Mosque and meet people. These things will change your state of mind. God is always your companion when you are alone you can always count on his help, he will give you strength and peace in your sad time and will help you in coming out of your grief. When you are unhappy because you lost something, don’t look what you have lost or what you don’t have rather think of what you have. Biggest thing what we all have is a beautiful day what God gave us to live today, what else we need, now it is up to us to see, if we are going to live happily or pass it sadly.
You will be Happy and blessed if you are closer to God and are humble and honest. As said in Bible “Blessed are also those who are meek, for they shall inherit the earth”. Blessed means happiness.
I have‥repeated to you, a ninth Beatitude‥‘Blessed is he who expect nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.’
[1727 Pope Letter 6 Oct. (1956) II. 453]
Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
[1739 B. Franklin Poor Richard's Almanack (May)]
When we are all the time restless and want something more we will be unhappy. This is a sickness in itself when we want more. We have more then enough to live a good comfortable life but we still want more, when we get into this state of mind we become unhappy. So be satisfied and contended with what you have. If after having more and more wealth did not make you happy then try the opposite then live for others after you have made enough money to live comfortably try to share your wealth and time who are needy .Happiest people in the world make others people life happy.Happy people don’t live for themselves they live for others.
Happiness in relation only comes when both people open up and are frank with each other and tell each other their expectations. Good relationship will have fights and arguments so that relations can be improved but all this should be done without loosing respect for each other.
By understanding each other God driven dreams can be achieved. If you are kind, not selfish and giving you will make good friends. If you are surrounded by selfish, self centered, greedy, undesirable people change them into good people. Selfish people are a burden to themselves as well as to the society.
Be forgiving: If some one hurts you for give him .By forgiving you will stay happy,and sadness which is again a sickness will not overpower you.So to stay happy learn to forgive all the time if some body hurts you or don’t do things according to your way.

14)Happiness
1)Necessity of prayer..
Prayer is the very soul and essence of religion, and, therefore, prayer must be the very core of the life of man, for no man can live without religion.He therefore, who hungers for the awakening of the divine in him must fall back on prayer.
Any amount of repetition of Ramanama is futile if it fails to stir the soul. It must be in clear response to the spirit which hungers for it. He who has experienced the magic of prayer may do without food for days together but not a single moment without prayer. For without prayer there is no inward peace.Begin, therefore, your day with prayer, and make it so soulful that it may remain with you until the evening. Close the day with prayer so that you may have a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares. Do not worry about the form of prayer. Let it be any form, it should be such that it can put us into communion with the divine. Only, whatever be the form, let not the spirit wander while you are doing prayers.If your,mission in life is service of your fellowmen, it will go to pieces if you do not impose on yourselves some sort of discipline, and prayer is a necessary spiritual discipline. It is discipline and restraint that separates us from the brute.The prayer is for God to make us better men and women. If the prayer came truly from the heart, God’s grace would surely descend upon us. There is not a blade of grass which moves without his will, not one single true thought which does not leave a mark on character. It is good, therefore, to develop the daily habit of prayer. Silent prayer is ofter mightier than overt act in my helplessness. I continuously pray in the faith that the prayer of a pure heart never goes unanswered.Practising silent prayer will give rest to the mind .But it was difficult to turn the mind inward except through silent prayer.A silent prayer is often more effective than the spoken word consciously uttered.People come together for prayer in order to obtain peace,to hear God's name and to recite it.For five minutes atleast everyday one should sit in silence. When we practise silence at first,many thoughts will enter our minds we even may begin to doze.Silence will remedy these defects.Samadhi means silence. Muni(sage) and mauna both are derived from the same root.
2)How to pray-When to pray-Place of prayer -Diety worship:
Prayer is no mere exercise of words or of the ears, it is no mere repetition of empty formula. Wherever people meet and utter his name from their hearts ,there God dwells ,there is his temple,mosque or church.Religious places start its existence from the time of its first prayer.And it is the prayer of true men and women ,its continuous progress was assured.
Devotees of God and tillers of the soil rise early. Devotees take the name of God and peasants work in their fields serving the world as well as themselves.Both of them are worshippers ,cultivators by their industry worship God unawares as it helps to sustain the world.
Everyone ,should observe silence at the time of prayer.While watching a movie sometimes we sit for hours in silence.We can tune our mind to do that at a religious place .In my opinion, prayer should be said in one’s mother-tongue. It alone can affect the soul best. I should say that a sincere prayer for one minute is enough. We should retire within ourselves for inward communion with the divine for at least few minutes a day .Prayer should be a passionate cry of a soul hungering for union with the divine.If should suffice to promise God not to sin. Prayer is nothing else buy an intense longing of the heart. You may express yourself though the lips: you may express yourself in the private closet or in public: bot to be genuine, the expression must come from the deepest recesses of the hear. As grain is the body’s food , so prayer is the soul’s. He who is convinced about the existence of the soul cannot live without prayer. Prayer means the soul turning towards God.He alone truly adores God who finds his happiness in the happiness of others, speaks evil of none, does not waste his time in the pursuit of riches, does nothing immoral, who acquits himself with others as with a friend, does not fear the plague or any human being.Prayer is the greatest binding force, making for the solidarity and oneness of the human family. If a person realizes his unity with God through prayer, he will look upon everybody as himself. Prayer is the greatest binding force .
Begin your day with prayer and make it so soulful that it may remain with you until the evening.Close the day with prayer so that you may a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares.
When one is filled with the presence of God then anything he does becomes prayer,even labour is prayer. Presence of God in one's heart will make the whole life as continuous prayer or act of worship.Any work done keeping him in mind makes it a prayer . Others who are indulged in sin ,and live for self ,they should keep on praying till the time they feel presence of God in them.
We should remember Him at least for a few minutes daily. If we don't express gratitude for many bounties of Providence daily,life ceases to have any meaning. By doing daily prayer you will add something new to your life,something with which nothing can be compared.
Praying together or congregational prayers in temples ,churches or mosques is like a daily bath ,a necessity for the existence. Going to places of worship helps in bringing faith in God and prayer.Once one develops faith in God and prayer all the evil thoughts will leave and one will find peace of mind and will also will also start seeing God in everything and one will start serving the community which needs help without being greedy.
Prayer can be done by simply thinking or recitation of verses from religious books, also hymns from saints .One can read ,sing or listen to them .A relationship between God and yourself should not be only at prayer but,at all the times.
Prayer is to me the intense longing of heart to merge with his creator.
Diety Worship.
We go to the temple to worship not the stone or the metal image but God who resides in it.The image becomes what man makes of it .It has no power independently with which it is invested by the worshipper.One can worship an idol even made of clay,if thereby one's heart feels lighter. If my life seems satisfying and meaningful,fruitful then the worship of God's idol has meaning.
God has a transcedental body.Vedic literature describes each part of His transcendental body can perform any of the functions of any part of body.For example with our eyes we can only see ,the Lord cannot see only with his eyes ,but also can taste ,smell or hear with them. Thus the transcedental form of Supreme Lord is unlimited and all powerful human beings or any living objects when they come to this material world,the material energy covers him with aa temporary material body,thus he has to get old and diseased and finally die and accept other body.But the supreme Lord is not under the material laws of nature.He is beyond those laws.
3). Fruits of prayer. :
When mind is full of prayerful thoughts,everything in the world seems good and agreeable.Prayer is essential for progress in life.True prayer never goes unanswered. It does not mean that every little thing we ask from God is readily given to us. It is only when we shed our selfishness with a conscious effort and approach God in true humility that our prayers find a response.
He alone truly adores God who finds his happiness in the happiness of others, speaks evil of none ,does not waste his time in the pursuit of riches,does nothing immoral ,who acquits himself with others as with a friend .
True prayer never goes unanswered. It is only when we shed our selfishness with a conscious and approach God in true humility that our prayers find a response.
The object of prayer is not to please God but to purify ourselves and self realization of his presence within us. We should feel his presence in every walk of life.Prayer will bring us self purification and realization of truth.
Prayer is a sign of repentance ,a desire to become better,purer.
I have seen and believe that God never appears to you in person ,but in action which can only account for your deliverance in your darkest hour.God is formless . He can therefore ,only,be seen by spiritual sight-vision.The more I want to listen or see God that I am still far away from God.Come close to God and he will answer your questions and will give you solution to your problems.After constant and patient eternal striving and waiting on God can take us face to face with God.
I open my eyes to find nothing but the beautiful manifestation of God everywhere to greet and delight me .Since the time I have started praying Him ,all corrupt thought has left me;I am so lost in Him there is no time for anything else. I am merged in it ,it is a state beyond misery and bliss.
Faith & Karma.What is present is the intensity of faith whereby I lose myself in an invisible power.God will never forsake you,he will come to your help at the eleventh hour but you must not loose your faith in Him.
I am striving to do so many things ,every moment of my life is a strenuous endeavour ,which is an attempt to build up more Karma,to undo the past and add to the present.
You are not going to know the meaning of God or prayer unless you reduce yourself to a cipher . You must be humble enough to see that merely intellectual is not enough.It is the spiritual realization which alone can give satisfaction.
Devotional songs or readings will help you keep the memory of God fresh in the heart of devotee.They will also help you in doing things in accordance with the will of God.Worship or prayer ,therefore ,is not to be performed with the lips ,but with the heart.Prayers of those whose tongues are neutered but whose hearts are full of poison are never heard.Therefore , you must cleanse your heart.Rama was not only on the lips of Hanuman ,he was enthroned in his heart.By having faith in Him Hanuman lifted the mountain and crossed the ocean.That faith is nothing but a living ,wide awake consciousness of God within.One can be bodily diseased or poor but will be spiritually healthy rich and pure. Bhakta -the true devotee knows language of the heart only he knows it and can teach it.He who serves who are distressed and other fellowmen without greed and believes in Religion of Service will be at the top list of God.
If you will give God a fruit,flower or even a leaf in the spirit of Bhakati you will be his servant says the Lord in the Bhagavadgita.
By serving the humble,the lowliest,lost ,needy and sick you will be doing the greatest prayer, sacrifice and worship.
We should pray to God when we are getting up in the morning,and when closing our eyes in the evening.During the day time one will keeps God's presence in his heart when doing anything.Any one who will keep God constantly in his mind God will start dwelling in his heart.One will be able to live without food for days ,but not without prayer for a day.Prayer must be done with a pure heart.Anybody who prays to God with his heart will in the end become filled with Him .As eye lids are doing their work ;similarly prayer should go on constantly in our heart.One can pray by oneself even while lying in bed,bathing,eating,or doing any other work.
4)Power and advantage of prayer :
Man of prayer will be at peace with himself and with the whole world.Prayer can be a mean of bringing orderliness strength and peace in our daily acts. When it is done from the heart,it has the power to melt mountains of misery.Prayer is a food for soul.Heart-felt prayer will help overcoming cowardice and all other bad habits.By faith and prayer one can conquer every difficulty in their upward progress.Prayer is intended to sober and humble us and enable us to realize that nothing happens without His will and that we are but 'clay' in the hands of the Potter.
Prayer is the greatest binding force, Families which pray together will stay together.Praying together brings solidarity and oneness of the human family.Prayer unites us with God . Once we are united with God through prayer everybody will look like a big family.Prayer means being one with God.
If humans stay in tune with God ,no matter they belong to what religion ,or to whom they pray weather they are poor or rich ,they are strong , or weak they will all live in peace and happiness . Even the weakest would enjoy perfect protection.Realization of God will bring freedom from all earthly fear.
We should always keep him in mind, how can we forget Him by whose mercy we live,who strengths us in all my efforts.How can we forget our God.
You must make time everyday for prayers. You may excuse yourself from other duties,but never from prayers. You should cultivate such a state of mind that for half an hour during the day at different times you will have only one thought in your mind ,and no other.It will provide you peace,happiness and an opportunity to be one with all living creatures.Power of prayer)
True prayer never goes unanswered. If the prayer came truly from the heart, God's grace would surely descend upon us.
5) Meditation, silence, and self-realization,Moksha
Moksha is liberation from pure thought. This can be achieved through ceaseless communion with Him and complete self -surrender. This communion may be in the beginning be just lip repetition of His name even disturbed by impure thoughts.But ultimately what is on the lips will possess the heart. Don't let your senses wander with mind. He who keeps control of his physical senses will some day be able to bring impure thoughts under control.Chanting of mantras like Ramanama and surrendering completely to his grace will help mastery over thoughts. There is however a golden rule for gaining control of the carnal desire.It is the repetition of the divine word or mantra such as 'Rama' , 'OM' ,'Krishna' 'Allah' 'Christ' or such other divine word with which one can identify while repeating it. One will have complete peace of mind as a result of repeating such name or mantras in complete faith .These Mantras will bring happiness,help preserving of morals.To be effective one must throw his soul into it. One must repeat them like a parrot. We should repeat them with a view to preventing the approach of unwelcome thoughts and with full faith in the efficacy of the mantra to the end.
True meditation is closing the eyes and ears of the mind to all else,except the object of ones devotion .
The Gita also tells us that mind is restless,but it tells us that with patient we can bring it under control.
The highest goal of the devotee is to become one with the object of his devotion.The bhakta extinguishes himself and merges into,becomes , Bhagwan .
In heartful prayer the worshippers attention is concentrated on the object of worship so much so that he is not conscious of anything else besides.The worshipper has well been compared to a lover.The lover forgets the whole world and even himself in the presence of the beloved . The identification of the worshipper with God should be closer still.It comes only after much striving ,self suffering(tapas)and self -discipline.
6) God, religion, and prayer :
God demands nothing less then complete self surrender as the price for the only real freedom that is worth having . And when a man thus loses himself , he immediately finds himself in the service of all that lives . It becomes his delight and his recreation . He is a new man never weary of spending himself in the service of Gods creation. We will know and take care of God's will by prayer and right living.Prayer means being one with God.
God is not some person outside ourselves or away from the universe.He pervades everything ,and is omniscient as well as omnipotent.Being immanent in all beings , He hears everything and reads our innermost thoughts. He abides in our hearts and is nearer to us then nails are to the fingers.We desire to recognize and realize Him ,to become one with Him, and seek to gratify that desire through prayer.Truth alone is eternal everything else is momentary.
Once we accept the existence of God ,then the necessity of prayer will become inescapable.
To get rid of the devil and impurity that has seized us we should take Ramanama and kneel before God and seek his help. Gold is the help of helpless.If you would ask Him to help ,go to him in all your nakedness,approach Him without reservations.The prayer of even the most impure will be answered.
As Poet Surdas has sung , Rama is the strength of the weak.His name,Rama is but synonym of God,Allah or Christ whatever other name you may like, but the moment you trust naught but Him,you will become strong and you will have strength and he will put all doubts and despairs to flight.We should pray that he cleanse our hearts of pettiness,meanness,deceit,greed,selfishness and he will surely answer our prayers.
When a man is down ,he prays to God to lift him up.He is the help of helpless.Prayer is a call to humility.It is a call to self purification,to inward search.
God is formless.You will never see God face to face.He can therefore, only, be seen by spiritual sight-vision.Eternal striving can only can take us face with God.
7. Ramanama and mantras:
Rama is known by thousand names. His names are innumerable and He is the same whether we call him Allah,Khuda,Rahim,or any other names that come from the heart of a true devotee.If you do nothing else but keep repeating Ramanama. Some day you will suddenly see light in the midst of darkness.
Tulsidas holds that the name of Rama is more powerful than Rama himself and suggests that there is no relation between the word Rama and its meaning. The meaning will be filled in later by the devotee in accordance with the nature of his devotion.That is the beauty of this repetition (Japa).For days and sometimes for years ,the mind wanders and becomes restless,the body craves for sleep when one is engaged in repeating the name of God.If you have faith ,repeat the name at all times ,when you sit or stand or lie down,eat or drink. If you try it you will have peace of mind .will remove all suffering ,mental,moral,and physical.
Ramanama ought to be repeated from the depth of one's heart.God has been given thousand names which only means that He can be called by any name and that his qualities are infinite.But for us mortals the suppoort of his name is absolutly essential to fall back upon.Value of reciting His name cannot be established by reasoning,it can only be experienced if one does it by faith.
A person whose vision is not blurred and whose faith is not damped by overmuch learning. Learning takes us through many stages in life but it fails us utterly in the hour of danger and temptations.Then faith alone saves.
Ramanama is for the pure in heart and for those who want to attain purity and remain pure.
8 )Fasting and prayer.
Clarity of vision for the good of humanity as well as for an individual can be attained through Prayer and fasting .Budha ,Jesus and Mohamad fasted so as to see God face to face.Whenever there is distress which one cannot remove,one must fast and pray.There is no prayer without fasting.This fasting relates not merely to the palate,but all the senses and organs.
Buddha,Jesus and Mohammed fasted so as to see God face to face.Fasting relates not merely to the palate,but all the sense and organs..All fasting if it is a spiritual act ,is an intense prayer or a preparation for it.. It is yearning of the soul to merge in the divine essence. A genuine fast cleanses body ,mind and soul.It crucifies the flesh and to that extent sets the soul free.Fasting and prayer therefore are a most powerful process of purification of soul and a mean to come closer to eternal.A complete fast is a complete and literal denial of self.Abstention from food and even water is but the mere beginning ,the least part of the surrender.
Prophet often fasted and prayed,kept awake for nights together and would be on his feet at all hours of the night as he received the revelations.
Strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.Absense of food is is an indispensable but not the largest part of it. The largest part is prayer--communion with God. It more then adequately replaces physical food.
Missing a meal sometimes is beneficial for health. Omitting prayer never is.
09). Prayer, medicine, and cure .
Repeating name of God and pure living are the best and cheapest preventive of disease.Ramanama recited from heart is a cure -all for every kind of disease.
Illness imlies some error or other . He whose body and mind are perfectly sound ,should never suffer from illness.
All the modern medicines and prayers are blessings of God . But for anything to be effective it has to be applied with faith.Sick person with the help of prayer and modern medicine and procedures can be cured or atleast they will give a relief to the soul and body and can be used together .
Sorrow Happiness Selfishness is the cause of sorrow.Generally there are two kinds of fears in men.s minds fear of death and fear of loss of material possessions .A man of prayer will and self -purification will shed the fear of death and embrace death as a boon companion and will regard all earthly possessions as fleeing and of no account .He will see that he has no right to possess wealth when misery and pauperism stalk the land and when there are millions who have to go without a meal.
10)Silence.
If we want to listen to the still small Voice that is always speaking within us , it will not be heard if we continually speak.Silence must be observed to be spiritually strong.A seeker after truth must learn how to be silent.A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech;he will measure every word .
As Gandhiji said "Silence is a great help to seeker after truth ;In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth,and the soul requires inward restfulness to attain its full height."
Modern Civilization has taught us to convert night into day and golden silence into noice. The Divine Radio is always singing if we can sit in silence and listen to it.
St. Therasa has sumed up the sweet result of silence."You will at once feel your sense gather themselves together;they seem like bees which return to the hive and there shut themselves up to work at the making of honey;and this will take place without effort or care on your part . God thus rewards the violence which your sole has been doing to itself;and gives to it such a domination over the senses that a sign is enough when it desires to recollect itself,for them to obey and so gather themselves together.At the first call of the will they come back more and more quickly. At the first call of the will they come back more and more quickly. At last after many and many exercises of this kind , God disposes them to a state of absolute repose and of perfect contemplation."
He is truly silent who,having the capacity to speak,utters no idle word.
11) Gita
Gita calls upon us to dedicate ourselves ,body,mind and soul ,to pure duty and not to become victim of desires and undisciplined impulses.Once you have tasted of its sweet nectar,your attachment to it will grow from day to day. The recitation of Gita verses will support you in your trials and console you in your distress,even in the darkness of solitary confinement.
As the sixth chapter in Gita assures us the least little sadhna (spiritual effort) is not wasted.The seeker will proceed in his next birth,starting from it as a base.Similarly if a person has the will but not the ability to make spiritual progress ,his environment in his subsequent birth will be such as to strengthen that will.
12) Karmayogi:
One can establish communion with God through work. You will see him in the communal services,you will meet him when you are helping poor,sick,or any one who is distressed and is in need of help. God could be only realized through service .A KaramYogi will relieve the hunger and sickness of the millions of strving humanbeings by advocating equality and sharing of the wealth by honest and hard work. We should give Vedic learning and counting of beads a second place before community service.God's work and God's name go hand in hand.
Devotion to duty is itself prayer. We go and pray in order to be qualified for doing actual service.But when one is engaged in actual practice of duty prayer is merged with the execution of duty.If some one is engaged in deep prayer ,hears the cry of other for help,one should leave prayer and run to help the distressed.Prayer finds fulfilment in the service of the distressed.By doing the service of community one can attain self realization,to see God face to face,to attain Moksha.Real prayer from the heart brings the real work behind it.For in the end work itself becomes prayer.The real way to pray to God is to do something in his name some little service to those who are less fortunate then ourselves.
There is no worship purer or more pleasing to God then selfless service of the poor.The rich and powerful in their arrogance and intellectual pride often forget God and even question His existence . But God dwells among the poor as they cling to him as their sole refuge and shelter.To serve the poor is to serve Him.
Lot of important things which we do in our lives they are not prompted by reason but by instinct.Inner voice cannot be described in words.But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing.When you are close to God you will recognise this voice within you.
God can do tremendous things through the person who doesn’t care who gets the credit. If you make a goal that you will be helping others who are sick, poor and needy and do good things without any thing in return for you. You will be surprised how much God will help you in achieving your goals .He will be working with you lot harder then you and helping you at every step till the time your aim is service and not getting credit.
13)Confession:
To err is human,.By confessing we convert our mistakes into steppino stones for advance.The moment we repent and ask God for forgiveness for our lapse ,we are purged of our sin and new life begins for us.True repentance is an essential pre-requisite of prayer.
14)HAPPINESS
There are people who are very poor but they are happy, on the other hand there are people who are rich and are un happy. So wealth only cannot make you happy.
If you unhappy and getting sick instead of seeing a doctor go and try to meet your spiritual doctor which is your God weather he is Ram, Mohamad, or Christ or any one else in whom you have faith.Go to him first try to talk to him and ask his advise and pray to him. He will give you pills of happiness and they will help you in curing your sickness and you will be happier.

1)Necessity of prayer..
Prayer is the very soul and essence of religion, and, therefore, prayer must be the very core of the life of man, for no man can live without religion.He therefore, who hungers for the awakening of the divine in him must fall back on prayer.
Any amount of repetition of Ramanama is futile if it fails to stir the soul. It must be in clear response to the spirit which hungers for it. He who has experienced the magic of prayer may do without food for days together but not a single moment without prayer. For without prayer there is no inward peace.Begin, therefore, your day with prayer, and make it so soulful that it may remain with you until the evening. Close the day with prayer so that you may have a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares. Do not worry about the form of prayer. Let it be any form, it should be such that it can put us into communion with the divine. Only, whatever be the form, let not the spirit wander while you are doing prayers.If your,mission in life is service of your fellowmen, it will go to pieces if you do not impose on yourselves some sort of discipline, and prayer is a necessary spiritual discipline. It is discipline and restraint that separates us from the brute.The prayer is for God to make us better men and women. If the prayer came truly from the heart, God’s grace would surely descend upon us. There is not a blade of grass which moves without his will, not one single true thought which does not leave a mark on character. It is good, therefore, to develop the daily habit of prayer. Silent prayer is ofter mightier than overt act in my helplessness. I continuously pray in the faith that the prayer of a pure heart never goes unanswered.Practising silent prayer will give rest to the mind .But it was difficult to turn the mind inward except through silent prayer.A silent prayer is often more effective than the spoken word consciously uttered.People come together for prayer in order to obtain peace,to hear God's name and to recite it.For five minutes atleast everyday one should sit in silence. When we practise silence at first,many thoughts will enter our minds we even may begin to doze.Silence will remedy these defects.Samadhi means silence. Muni(sage) and mauna both are derived from the same root.
2)How to pray-When to pray-Place of prayer -Diety worship:
Prayer is no mere exercise of words or of the ears, it is no mere repetition of empty formula. Wherever people meet and utter his name from their hearts ,there God dwells ,there is his temple,mosque or church.Religious places start its existence from the time of its first prayer.And it is the prayer of true men and women ,its continuous progress was assured.
Devotees of God and tillers of the soil rise early. Devotees take the name of God and peasants work in their fields serving the world as well as themselves.Both of them are worshippers ,cultivators by their industry worship God unawares as it helps to sustain the world.
Everyone ,should observe silence at the time of prayer.While watching a movie sometimes we sit for hours in silence.We can tune our mind to do that at a religious place .In my opinion, prayer should be said in one’s mother-tongue. It alone can affect the soul best. I should say that a sincere prayer for one minute is enough. We should retire within ourselves for inward communion with the divine for at least few minutes a day .Prayer should be a passionate cry of a soul hungering for union with the divine.If should suffice to promise God not to sin. Prayer is nothing else buy an intense longing of the heart. You may express yourself though the lips: you may express yourself in the private closet or in public: bot to be genuine, the expression must come from the deepest recesses of the hear. As grain is the body’s food , so prayer is the soul’s. He who is convinced about the existence of the soul cannot live without prayer. Prayer means the soul turning towards God.He alone truly adores God who finds his happiness in the happiness of others, speaks evil of none, does not waste his time in the pursuit of riches, does nothing immoral, who acquits himself with others as with a friend, does not fear the plague or any human being.Prayer is the greatest binding force, making for the solidarity and oneness of the human family. If a person realizes his unity with God through prayer, he will look upon everybody as himself. Prayer is the greatest binding force .
Begin your day with prayer and make it so soulful that it may remain with you until the evening.Close the day with prayer so that you may a peaceful night free from dreams and nightmares.
When one is filled with the presence of God then anything he does becomes prayer,even labour is prayer. Presence of God in one's heart will make the whole life as continuous prayer or act of worship.Any work done keeping him in mind makes it a prayer . Others who are indulged in sin ,and live for self ,they should keep on praying till the time they feel presence of God in them.
We should remember Him at least for a few minutes daily. If we don't express gratitude for many bounties of Providence daily,life ceases to have any meaning. By doing daily prayer you will add something new to your life,something with which nothing can be compared.
Praying together or congregational prayers in temples ,churches or mosques is like a daily bath ,a necessity for the existence. Going to places of worship helps in bringing faith in God and prayer.Once one develops faith in God and prayer all the evil thoughts will leave and one will find peace of mind and will also will also start seeing God in everything and one will start serving the community which needs help without being greedy.
Prayer can be done by simply thinking or recitation of verses from religious books, also hymns from saints .One can read ,sing or listen to them .A relationship between God and yourself should not be only at prayer but,at all the times.
Prayer is to me the intense longing of heart to merge with his creator.
Diety Worship.
We go to the temple to worship not the stone or the metal image but God who resides in it.The image becomes what man makes of it .It has no power independently with which it is invested by the worshipper.One can worship an idol even made of clay,if thereby one's heart feels lighter. If my life seems satisfying and meaningful,fruitful then the worship of God's idol has meaning.
God has a transcedental body.Vedic literature describes each part of His transcendental body can perform any of the functions of any part of body.For example with our eyes we can only see ,the Lord cannot see only with his eyes ,but also can taste ,smell or hear with them. Thus the transcedental form of Supreme Lord is unlimited and all powerful human beings or any living objects when they come to this material world,the material energy covers him with aa temporary material body,thus he has to get old and diseased and finally die and accept other body.But the supreme Lord is not under the material laws of nature.He is beyond those laws.
3). Fruits of prayer. :
When mind is full of prayerful thoughts,everything in the world seems good and agreeable.Prayer is essential for progress in life.True prayer never goes unanswered. It does not mean that every little thing we ask from God is readily given to us. It is only when we shed our selfishness with a conscious effort and approach God in true humility that our prayers find a response.
He alone truly adores God who finds his happiness in the happiness of others, speaks evil of none ,does not waste his time in the pursuit of riches,does nothing immoral ,who acquits himself with others as with a friend .
True prayer never goes unanswered. It is only when we shed our selfishness with a conscious and approach God in true humility that our prayers find a response.
The object of prayer is not to please God but to purify ourselves and self realization of his presence within us. We should feel his presence in every walk of life.Prayer will bring us self purification and realization of truth.
Prayer is a sign of repentance ,a desire to become better,purer.
I have seen and believe that God never appears to you in person ,but in action which can only account for your deliverance in your darkest hour.God is formless . He can therefore ,only,be seen by spiritual sight-vision.The more I want to listen or see God that I am still far away from God.Come close to God and he will answer your questions and will give you solution to your problems.After constant and patient eternal striving and waiting on God can take us face to face with God.
I open my eyes to find nothing but the beautiful manifestation of God everywhere to greet and delight me .Since the time I have started praying Him ,all corrupt thought has left me;I am so lost in Him there is no time for anything else. I am merged in it ,it is a state beyond misery and bliss.
Faith & Karma.What is present is the intensity of faith whereby I lose myself in an invisible power.God will never forsake you,he will come to your help at the eleventh hour but you must not loose your faith in Him.
I am striving to do so many things ,every moment of my life is a strenuous endeavour ,which is an attempt to build up more Karma,to undo the past and add to the present.
You are not going to know the meaning of God or prayer unless you reduce yourself to a cipher . You must be humble enough to see that merely intellectual is not enough.It is the spiritual realization which alone can give satisfaction.
Devotional songs or readings will help you keep the memory of God fresh in the heart of devotee.They will also help you in doing things in accordance with the will of God.Worship or prayer ,therefore ,is not to be performed with the lips ,but with the heart.Prayers of those whose tongues are neutered but whose hearts are full of poison are never heard.Therefore , you must cleanse your heart.Rama was not only on the lips of Hanuman ,he was enthroned in his heart.By having faith in Him Hanuman lifted the mountain and crossed the ocean.That faith is nothing but a living ,wide awake consciousness of God within.One can be bodily diseased or poor but will be spiritually healthy rich and pure. Bhakta -the true devotee knows language of the heart only he knows it and can teach it.He who serves who are distressed and other fellowmen without greed and believes in Religion of Service will be at the top list of God.
If you will give God a fruit,flower or even a leaf in the spirit of Bhakati you will be his servant says the Lord in the Bhagavadgita.
By serving the humble,the lowliest,lost ,needy and sick you will be doing the greatest prayer, sacrifice and worship.
We should pray to God when we are getting up in the morning,and when closing our eyes in the evening.During the day time one will keeps God's presence in his heart when doing anything.Any one who will keep God constantly in his mind God will start dwelling in his heart.One will be able to live without food for days ,but not without prayer for a day.Prayer must be done with a pure heart.Anybody who prays to God with his heart will in the end become filled with Him .As eye lids are doing their work ;similarly prayer should go on constantly in our heart.One can pray by oneself even while lying in bed,bathing,eating,or doing any other work.
4)Power and advantage of prayer :
Man of prayer will be at peace with himself and with the whole world.Prayer can be a mean of bringing orderliness strength and peace in our daily acts. When it is done from the heart,it has the power to melt mountains of misery.Prayer is a food for soul.Heart-felt prayer will help overcoming cowardice and all other bad habits.By faith and prayer one can conquer every difficulty in their upward progress.Prayer is intended to sober and humble us and enable us to realize that nothing happens without His will and that we are but 'clay' in the hands of the Potter.
Prayer is the greatest binding force, Families which pray together will stay together.Praying together brings solidarity and oneness of the human family.Prayer unites us with God . Once we are united with God through prayer everybody will look like a big family.Prayer means being one with God.
If humans stay in tune with God ,no matter they belong to what religion ,or to whom they pray weather they are poor or rich ,they are strong , or weak they will all live in peace and happiness . Even the weakest would enjoy perfect protection.Realization of God will bring freedom from all earthly fear.
We should always keep him in mind, how can we forget Him by whose mercy we live,who strengths us in all my efforts.How can we forget our God.
You must make time everyday for prayers. You may excuse yourself from other duties,but never from prayers. You should cultivate such a state of mind that for half an hour during the day at different times you will have only one thought in your mind ,and no other.It will provide you peace,happiness and an opportunity to be one with all living creatures.Power of prayer)
True prayer never goes unanswered. If the prayer came truly from the heart, God's grace would surely descend upon us.
5) Meditation, silence, and self-realization,Moksha
Moksha is liberation from pure thought. This can be achieved through ceaseless communion with Him and complete self -surrender. This communion may be in the beginning be just lip repetition of His name even disturbed by impure thoughts.But ultimately what is on the lips will possess the heart. Don't let your senses wander with mind. He who keeps control of his physical senses will some day be able to bring impure thoughts under control.Chanting of mantras like Ramanama and surrendering completely to his grace will help mastery over thoughts. There is however a golden rule for gaining control of the carnal desire.It is the repetition of the divine word or mantra such as 'Rama' , 'OM' ,'Krishna' 'Allah' 'Christ' or such other divine word with which one can identify while repeating it. One will have complete peace of mind as a result of repeating such name or mantras in complete faith .These Mantras will bring happiness,help preserving of morals.To be effective one must throw his soul into it. One must repeat them like a parrot. We should repeat them with a view to preventing the approach of unwelcome thoughts and with full faith in the efficacy of the mantra to the end.
True meditation is closing the eyes and ears of the mind to all else,except the object of ones devotion .
The Gita also tells us that mind is restless,but it tells us that with patient we can bring it under control.
The highest goal of the devotee is to become one with the object of his devotion.The bhakta extinguishes himself and merges into,becomes , Bhagwan .
In heartful prayer the worshippers attention is concentrated on the object of worship so much so that he is not conscious of anything else besides.The worshipper has well been compared to a lover.The lover forgets the whole world and even himself in the presence of the beloved . The identification of the worshipper with God should be closer still.It comes only after much striving ,self suffering(tapas)and self -discipline.
6) God, religion, and prayer :
God demands nothing less then complete self surrender as the price for the only real freedom that is worth having . And when a man thus loses himself , he immediately finds himself in the service of all that lives . It becomes his delight and his recreation . He is a new man never weary of spending himself in the service of Gods creation. We will know and take care of God's will by prayer and right living.Prayer means being one with God.
God is not some person outside ourselves or away from the universe.He pervades everything ,and is omniscient as well as omnipotent.Being immanent in all beings , He hears everything and reads our innermost thoughts. He abides in our hearts and is nearer to us then nails are to the fingers.We desire to recognize and realize Him ,to become one with Him, and seek to gratify that desire through prayer.Truth alone is eternal everything else is momentary.
Once we accept the existence of God ,then the necessity of prayer will become inescapable.
To get rid of the devil and impurity that has seized us we should take Ramanama and kneel before God and seek his help. Gold is the help of helpless.If you would ask Him to help ,go to him in all your nakedness,approach Him without reservations.The prayer of even the most impure will be answered.
As Poet Surdas has sung , Rama is the strength of the weak.His name,Rama is but synonym of God,Allah or Christ whatever other name you may like, but the moment you trust naught but Him,you will become strong and you will have strength and he will put all doubts and despairs to flight.We should pray that he cleanse our hearts of pettiness,meanness,deceit,greed,selfishness and he will surely answer our prayers.
When a man is down ,he prays to God to lift him up.He is the help of helpless.Prayer is a call to humility.It is a call to self purification,to inward search.
God is formless.You will never see God face to face.He can therefore, only, be seen by spiritual sight-vision.Eternal striving can only can take us face with God.
7. Ramanama and mantras:
Rama is known by thousand names. His names are innumerable and He is the same whether we call him Allah,Khuda,Rahim,or any other names that come from the heart of a true devotee.If you do nothing else but keep repeating Ramanama. Some day you will suddenly see light in the midst of darkness.
Tulsidas holds that the name of Rama is more powerful than Rama himself and suggests that there is no relation between the word Rama and its meaning. The meaning will be filled in later by the devotee in accordance with the nature of his devotion.That is the beauty of this repetition (Japa).For days and sometimes for years ,the mind wanders and becomes restless,the body craves for sleep when one is engaged in repeating the name of God.If you have faith ,repeat the name at all times ,when you sit or stand or lie down,eat or drink. If you try it you will have peace of mind .will remove all suffering ,mental,moral,and physical.
Ramanama ought to be repeated from the depth of one's heart.God has been given thousand names which only means that He can be called by any name and that his qualities are infinite.But for us mortals the suppoort of his name is absolutly essential to fall back upon.Value of reciting His name cannot be established by reasoning,it can only be experienced if one does it by faith.
A person whose vision is not blurred and whose faith is not damped by overmuch learning. Learning takes us through many stages in life but it fails us utterly in the hour of danger and temptations.Then faith alone saves.
Ramanama is for the pure in heart and for those who want to attain purity and remain pure.
8 )Fasting and prayer.
Clarity of vision for the good of humanity as well as for an individual can be attained through Prayer and fasting .Budha ,Jesus and Mohamad fasted so as to see God face to face.Whenever there is distress which one cannot remove,one must fast and pray.There is no prayer without fasting.This fasting relates not merely to the palate,but all the senses and organs.
Buddha,Jesus and Mohammed fasted so as to see God face to face.Fasting relates not merely to the palate,but all the sense and organs..All fasting if it is a spiritual act ,is an intense prayer or a preparation for it.. It is yearning of the soul to merge in the divine essence. A genuine fast cleanses body ,mind and soul.It crucifies the flesh and to that extent sets the soul free.Fasting and prayer therefore are a most powerful process of purification of soul and a mean to come closer to eternal.A complete fast is a complete and literal denial of self.Abstention from food and even water is but the mere beginning ,the least part of the surrender.
Prophet often fasted and prayed,kept awake for nights together and would be on his feet at all hours of the night as he received the revelations.
Strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.Absense of food is is an indispensable but not the largest part of it. The largest part is prayer--communion with God. It more then adequately replaces physical food.
Missing a meal sometimes is beneficial for health. Omitting prayer never is.
09). Prayer, medicine, and cure .
Repeating name of God and pure living are the best and cheapest preventive of disease.Ramanama recited from heart is a cure -all for every kind of disease.
Illness imlies some error or other . He whose body and mind are perfectly sound ,should never suffer from illness.
All the modern medicines and prayers are blessings of God . But for anything to be effective it has to be applied with faith.Sick person with the help of prayer and modern medicine and procedures can be cured or atleast they will give a relief to the soul and body and can be used together .
Sorrow Happiness Selfishness is the cause of sorrow.Generally there are two kinds of fears in men.s minds fear of death and fear of loss of material possessions .A man of prayer will and self -purification will shed the fear of death and embrace death as a boon companion and will regard all earthly possessions as fleeing and of no account .He will see that he has no right to possess wealth when misery and pauperism stalk the land and when there are millions who have to go without a meal.
10)Silence.
If we want to listen to the still small Voice that is always speaking within us , it will not be heard if we continually speak.Silence must be observed to be spiritually strong.A seeker after truth must learn how to be silent.A man of few words will rarely be thoughtless in his speech;he will measure every word .
As Gandhiji said "Silence is a great help to seeker after truth ;In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth,and the soul requires inward restfulness to attain its full height."
Modern Civilization has taught us to convert night into day and golden silence into noice. The Divine Radio is always singing if we can sit in silence and listen to it.
St. Therasa has sumed up the sweet result of silence."You will at once feel your sense gather themselves together;they seem like bees which return to the hive and there shut themselves up to work at the making of honey;and this will take place without effort or care on your part . God thus rewards the violence which your sole has been doing to itself;and gives to it such a domination over the senses that a sign is enough when it desires to recollect itself,for them to obey and so gather themselves together.At the first call of the will they come back more and more quickly. At the first call of the will they come back more and more quickly. At last after many and many exercises of this kind , God disposes them to a state of absolute repose and of perfect contemplation."
He is truly silent who,having the capacity to speak,utters no idle word.
11) Gita
Gita calls upon us to dedicate ourselves ,body,mind and soul ,to pure duty and not to become victim of desires and undisciplined impulses.Once you have tasted of its sweet nectar,your attachment to it will grow from day to day. The recitation of Gita verses will support you in your trials and console you in your distress,even in the darkness of solitary confinement.
As the sixth chapter in Gita assures us the least little sadhna (spiritual effort) is not wasted.The seeker will proceed in his next birth,starting from it as a base.Similarly if a person has the will but not the ability to make spiritual progress ,his environment in his subsequent birth will be such as to strengthen that will.
12) Karmayogi:
One can establish communion with God through work. You will see him in the communal services,you will meet him when you are helping poor,sick,or any one who is distressed and is in need of help. God could be only realized through service .A KaramYogi will relieve the hunger and sickness of the millions of strving humanbeings by advocating equality and sharing of the wealth by honest and hard work. We should give Vedic learning and counting of beads a second place before community service.God's work and God's name go hand in hand.
Devotion to duty is itself prayer. We go and pray in order to be qualified for doing actual service.But when one is engaged in actual practice of duty prayer is merged with the execution of duty.If some one is engaged in deep prayer ,hears the cry of other for help,one should leave prayer and run to help the distressed.Prayer finds fulfilment in the service of the distressed.By doing the service of community one can attain self realization,to see God face to face,to attain Moksha.Real prayer from the heart brings the real work behind it.For in the end work itself becomes prayer.The real way to pray to God is to do something in his name some little service to those who are less fortunate then ourselves.
There is no worship purer or more pleasing to God then selfless service of the poor.The rich and powerful in their arrogance and intellectual pride often forget God and even question His existence . But God dwells among the poor as they cling to him as their sole refuge and shelter.To serve the poor is to serve Him.
Lot of important things which we do in our lives they are not prompted by reason but by instinct.Inner voice cannot be described in words.But sometimes we have a positive feeling that something in us prompts us to do a certain thing.When you are close to God you will recognise this voice within you.

If you make a goal that you will be helping others who are sick, poor and needy and do good things without any thing in return for you. You will be surprised how much God will help you in achieving your goals .He will be working with you lot harder then you and helping you at every step till the time your aim is service and not getting credit.
13)Confession:
To err is human,.By confessing we convert our mistakes into steppino stones for advance.The moment we repent and ask God for forgiveness for our lapse ,we are purged of our sin and new life begins for us.True repentance is an essential pre-requisite of prayer.
14)HAPPINESS
There are people who are very poor but they are happy, on the other hand there are people who are rich and are un happy. So wealth only cannot make you happy.
If you unhappy and getting sick instead of seeing a doctor go and try to meet your spiritual doctor which is your God weather he is Ram, Mohamad, or Christ or any one else in whom you have faith.Go to him first try to talk to him and ask his advise and pray to him. He will give you pills of happiness and they will help you in curing your sickness and you will be happier.
