Radhey Krishna to all!
By practicing 'Nama yoga' one attains to that highest state.
In the days of ancestors Rivers like the Cauvery, Palar, Vaigai ran full(South of India).
In their days, population was much less but food production high. The earth was fertile. But today, population has increased geometrically, the water bed has gone low and the soil has lost its productive capacity. We live in this condition. The days of rivers running full and supplying pure water has become a dream.
Today, we have been pushed to the situation of buying water stored in bottles. The days of rice sacks filling the store rooms in villages have gone and today we go the market and buy one or two kilograms of rice sold in polythene bags. The days of using pure, fresh milk is no more found and we buy milk sold in small sachets.
People moved from their villages to nearby towns in search of living; they then moved to the capital cities and then to northern parts of the country and today we are compelled to seek employment on foreign lands. It has become a fast life. Increase in population, reduction in natural resources and the increased comforts and needs we have learnt to enjoy in our life have considerably increased the troubles faced in our day-to-day life.
Therefore, the way of worship of God shown should be adaptable to this changed way of life. Further, it should help one earn great benefits ('phala').
Is there such a path? What path can be shown to today's man living in such changed circumstances and help him reap great benefit?
Can the way of the Seers of yonder days who retired to the forest and performed tapas be shown? Will one be able to find a forest even if he desires to retire?
The question of retiring to the forest does not arise at all because forests are turning into cities! It is no use to advise a man to take up the difficult ways of 'hawan' (religious fire rituals), dhyana (meditation), yoga, etc. So, the Maharishis, even in their time, foreseeing the way of our life in this Age, have shown a very easy path to tread. That is verily the path of singing the Divine Names of the Lord -- the path of Namasankirtan.
What can one attain by singing, chanting the Divine Names of the Lord?
The state that one attains through performance of homa, dhyana, yoga or any other arduous spiritual austerity is verily attained by doing this yoga – 'Nama yoga' (singing the Divine Names of the Lord). By practicing 'Nama yoga' one attains to that highest state.
