Look at the following picture
for two minutes while repeating (chanting*) ‘Om namo Bhagavate
Vasudevaya’ (Lord
Krushna’s Name). (An audio recording of this Name can
be found here. Use the Marak (destroyer of evil) form for this
experiment.) Note your observations while looking at each. The

Answer to the last week's experiment (Issue 219):
Figure A had a picture of incense sticks
prepared by Sanatan seekers as a part of their spiritual
practice,
whereas Figure B had a picture of incense sticks prepared commercially.
One feels more pleasant and peaceful looking at figure A.
Sanatan’s seekers are preparing incense sticks as service
unto God. They repeat (chant*) The Lord’s Name continuously
while preparing these incense sticks, adding to the spiritual purity
(sattvikta) of the incense sticks. Additionally, these incense
sticks are prepared from herbal material and do not use any chemicals,
further ensuring their spiritual purity. As a result of repeating
(chanting) The Lord’s Name, pure intention of service unto
God rather than commercial benefit, and use of only natural material,
the spiritual purity of these incense sticks is more. Hence, they
emit more positive vibrations.
* If one is not doing any spiritual practice currently, one can
begin with the simple, but powerful spiritual practice of repeating
(chanting) (constant remembrance of) God's Name as per one's religion.
Refer to Issue 3,
Clarification of Doubts section for details on what Name to repeat
according to one's religion. If one is already doing some spiritual
practice, one can complement it with repetition (chanting) of The
Lord's Name. Refer to Issue 23,
Clarification of Doubts section for a diagrammatic explanation
of how repeating (chanting) God's Name works. When done mentally,
it can be done anywhere and anytime, as it does not need purity
of body, time or place. However, in the initial stages it is recommended
that one start by sitting in one place for at least half an hour
daily and repeat (chant) The Lord's Name. |
