Re: Remove impersonalism in the name of the Lord

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Guruji, Srinath and devotees. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

Beautiful article Srinath! Yes the subtle changes we make in the use of our words can make a huge difference in how we experience the world in and around us. This is called neuro-linguistic association and you are absolutely right that we should address the Name of the Lord always in a personal matter. The holy Names of the Lord are never to be �used� especially not as a drug, ladder, or by any means to �feel better� or even attain liberation. Impersonalism can easily crawl under our skin even without us knowing it. The Lord�s holy Names are never �it� and always He because They are Him. Thank you for reminding us this important realization.

When we chant the Names of our Lordships with full attention, I mean with all of our focus, He surely manifests within our hearts and on our tongue. Why? Because we give Him our undivided attention�there is just nothing else than Him and in His merciful response He gives Himself. This is also the remedy against all the offences we can make to the holy Names of the Lord. When we give the Lord (His Names) our full attention there is just no room for anything else. The more we can concentrate our attention on His Names, Forms, Attributes and Devotees the more we get absorbed in Him and everything about Him.

Thank you again Srinath for this most important article.

Your servant,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
