Re: The Life of Naama Bhajana

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! Jaya Shrila Prabhupaada! Pranaams. Welcome to NITAAI.com, Aruna-lochana dasi. Thank you for the wonderful point about loneliness and the Name. Please do post more of such topics. The only way to really dissipate the loneliness of the soul is to directly associate with the Lord and His Pure Devotees by the chanting (japa and sankirtana) of His Holy Names. We can remove bodily loneliness by talking to other people but the loneliness of our soul cannot be removed by mundane talk with mundane people. Our soul is crying for association and the Naama Prabhu is our only hope in Kali Yuga to provide us that quality association of the Lord and His Pure Devotees.

For your kind information, normally, the word "devi" is used when the main initiation name is that of a female counterpart or associate of the Lord like Radha devi dasi, or Jahnava devi dasi or Ganga devi dasi. The word "devi" in the name applies to that female counterpart or associate of the Lord. Aruna-lochana is the most beautiful Holy Name of the Lord Himself, who posseses lotus eyes tinged with the color of rising sun at dawn. So it would be more appropriate to say Aruna-lochana dasi.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
