Kirtaniya Sada Hari

Kirtaniya Sada Hari: Always chant the name of Lord Hari

I just watched a few minutes of a beautiful Kirtan on television. I cannot believe just how energized, spiritually charged, and filled-to-the-brim with Krishna's love I am feeling! I feel literally ecstatic. I want to scream and jump for joy, all in praise of Krishna!

The glories of kirtan, the glories of Krishna's beautiful names... oh, I wish they would just take over us!

Krishna's Holy Name is just so merciful and so beautiful. The Holy Name is freely available to all. The Holy Name loves you. You may have noticed that once you hear it, once you are part of a kirtan, and if you listen closely, giving just a little bit of attention to the Holy Name, it overflows with love for you and doesn't leave you. It stays there in your minds and in your hearts, on your tongues, and you can't resist singing along, even after the kirtan has stopped! Please do not stop the kirtan going on in your heart. Let it go on forever! It is the only way for your soul to express itself and to feel happiness. It is how Krishna makes Himself present in your life. He has freely given us His Holy Name to sing and chant and to express ourselves. So as He has given it to us, we must also give it to others. Sing so that others may hear, and sing so that you may hear. Just sing! Chant the Holy Name. It will help you to always remember Krishna. Sing His praises, sing His glories, and please the Lord by always remembering Him. Do you not feel happy when you find that someone whom you love dearly remembers you? This is how Krishna feels. We have gone far away from Him, and He is waiting for us to return. He is still loving us; He never stops loving us. And when we remember Him, it gives Him great joy. The Lord is unconquerable but He agrees to be bound by our love. Think of Him always. Glorify Him, for there is no one else who deserves our worship! Fall in love with the Holy Name - it is your gateway to Krishna.

Kirtaniya sada hari!

  2. I know! Can you imagine? He would do anything just for us, if we simply ask Him with love! Just HOW amazing is He!

  3. Yes:))
    Sometimes, His love is overwhelming.
    Beyond words, mind-blowing:)
    The levels of mercy and help we get just by calling out once, is unimaginably wonderful, and people, any normal ruler, would usually tend to call it "stooping down to our level".
    But, He is the ruler of our hearts!
    We are His servants, and yet He is the one at our beck and call.
    We may lose track, but He will never stop "being there" for us.
    All hail our Lovable Lord! :)
