GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

“You must remember that the Name represents God within you. So you repeat any Name you hold dear and fill yourself with Divine ecstasy. This is the easiest and best method by which you can purify yourself. Think of God and you become the image of God. Take the holy Name and you become holy. - Ramdas "The best service you can do is to keep your thoughts on God. Keep God in mind every minute." -Mahrajji "If you do Japa mantra you will always be benefited. You will never lose anything." -Anandamayi Ma "Those who sing the praises of Him are no longer ordinary men trapped in the world." -Anon "That student onto who the Lord becomes merciful chants the Lord's name and wins the game of life." -Guru Ram Das Ji "Knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, in whatever state we utter His name, we acquire the merit of such utterance." - RamaKrishna "By Reciting His name, everything is achieved." -Maharajji “By the power of the Name of God, one shall come to know what one does not know. One shall see what cannot be seen. One will be able to speak what cannot be spoken. One shall meet what cannot be ordinarily met. Incalculable will be the gain of uttering the Name.” - #Tukaram “Gazing upon this world, you are fooled. It is not worth even half a shell. Only the name of the Lord of the Universe is permanent.” -Gurbani "After no great lapse of time I had the feeling that the prayer had, so to speak, by its own action passed from my lips to my heart. Further there came into my heart and precious warmth. None of these things made me feel at all cast down. It was as though they were happening to someone else and I merely watched them. The prayer brought sweetness into my heart and made me unaware of everything else." - The Way of A Pilgrim -Excerpt about Mantras from the book I've mentioned before, Polishing the Mirror (the one that sold me on the practice back in 2013) -How to use a Mala -I use Tulsi wood beads to chant, like these or these. -Interviews I've conducted on japa-Nanak NaamKrishna Das -BooksChants of a Lifetime by Krishna Das The Way of a Pilgrim The Essential Swami Ramdas Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass -Songs featuring the MahamantraBrindavan Hare Ram (the one I was singing before I started chanting it)Township Krishna
