Sri Swami Vishwananda tells us today.....

Why do you think in all religions they say to chant the name of God, to recite the name of God? Even here, you just go outside reciting rosary everywhere. And for what? It is not just a beautiful thing to wear on you. No, you use it right now to chant the name of the Lord, so that you realise the unity between the Atma and the Paramatman. When you realise this unity between the Atma and the Paramatman, what will stay? Only the Paramatman will stay because the only reality of the Atma is the Paramatman. The only reality of the soul is God. Your soul wants to merge with and become One with God. It wants to attain His lotus feet. The one who has realised this, will join. Just in the simple name ‘Ram’, it can be granted.
