Anupama Devi Dasi
Prayers To Gurudeva
om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namaha
Bhagavan and his Manifestations
•Brahma Jyoti•Paramatma •Bhagavan
brahmeti paramātmetibhagavān iti śabdyate - S.B 1.2.11
Names and things in material World
•Everything in this world has a name so it can be identified
•So, a thing and its name are different things..
Krishna and His Name
•But in the Spiritual world, Krishna and His name is the same!
•The holy name is not of this world
•Souls covered by the modes of nature can’t utter the pure name (Chintamani Nama)
Holy Names are Merciful
When one calls His Name from His heart, it comes as Suddha Nama.
It does not matter for what purpose you call. He is bound to come.
But when He comes, we should be intelligent to ask what is really worth.
You want Krishna, or something else?
Nama Prabhu
•Who is Nama Prabhu? •He is the name of the Lord •Who is his consort?
