Nitaai vs Nityananda
Nityananda ! Gauranga ! Hare Krishna !
There is no difference between Nityananda and Nitaai.
Nityananda and Gauranga are authorised scriptural mantras
Devotee : In Praana Kriya I say Nitaai and not the authothorised mantra Nityananda
then why do you say Nitaai Praana Kriya is also as powerful as chanting ?
Swamiji: Nitaai is also an authorized two syllable Namatmaka Mantra, all Mantras are not specifically mentioned in the scriptures. But each bonafide principal Name of God is a Mantra
Like it is mentioned in the Puranas that the name "Krishna" is itself a Mantra
2-syllable Mantra
Devotee : ohh wow
Swamiji: Similarly for Nitaai and Gaura
Devotee : you mean Nitaai Praana Kriya is also as powerful as Nityananda chanted on beads?
Swamiji: Each Principal Name of God has full potency of the Lord whether it is big or small
Yes, certainly
No one in this world can say Nitaai is less powerful than Nityaananda
The Lord behind both the Names is the same, so both the Names are equally powerful
Devotee : wonderful
ok, then lets say if I am watching television or at office doing some work then what would have a greater effect on me, Nityananda chanted mentally very fast or Nitaai Praana Kriya ?
Any one , which ever you feel convenient
Devotee : still I want to work only under your order
which one would you tell me to do ?
Swamiji: For chanting of Tulasi beads, we chant the Mantras Nityaananda and Gauraangha
Swamiji : but there is no such restriction while chanting anywhere and everywhere
Devotee: no I mean not on Tulasi beads
if I wanted to chant just in my mind
without any beads
Swamiji: Yes, you can chant in any one of the both
Devotee: which one do you do Gurudev ?
like right now what are you doing ?
Swamiji: Both
Devotee : right now you are chanting Nitaai and Nityananda on beads u mean ?
Swamiji: I am chanting Praana Kriyaa while sleeping
No
Devotee : then right nown while chatting with me are you doing Praana Kriya ?
Swamiji: Yes
I sometimes meditate on the Sanskrit syllables of the Mantras also
Lekhana Kriyaa
Devotee : ohh ok
Swamiji: while breathing Praana Kriyaa
Devotee : ohh
actually I am very confused right now for myself
like right now both my hands are busy in typing
then should I do Praana Kriya or mentally chant Nityananda
this is waht I don't understand
Swamiji: Yes, Praana Kriyaa will also be beneficial for you since it clam your mind with the Mantras
Devotee : great
then that is fixed
I am going to make it my life and soul now
