    Exclamation Mind is the cause for bandhan and moksh !!

    Respected readers,

    This article is for those readers who who are chanting a mantra either received by a guru or on their own.


    You people do japa of a mantra,have you ever thought what's being used to chant the mantra,it's the senses(eyes,hand,ears..etc) but the
    vedas say that it's the mind which is responsible to elevate one selves--


    मन एव मनुष्याणां कारणं बन्ध मोक्षयोः |
    mana eva manushyaanam karanam bandha mokshayoh (brahma bindu upanishad)

    Mind is the only cause for bandhan(taking birth in this planet) and moksh(to get liberation)
    Eva shabd is used in the above mantra in sanskrit eva means "that only".


    चित्तं एव हि संसारः
    cittam eva hi samsarah (maitreyi upanishad)

    Mind is the only cause to rotate one in the samsara,not the senses.


    मन एव हि संसारः
    manah eva hi samsara (tejo bindu upanishad)

    Mind is the only cause to rotate one in the samsara,not the senses.


    The above mantra(mana eva manushaynaam) is so important that this mantra is quoted in the narada purana,brahma purana
    and many other upanishad's


    anta kale ca mam eva smaran muktva kalevaram yah prayati sah mad bhavam yati nastyatra samsayah | (bhagavad gita)

    The one who quit's his body remembering me only,attains my loka.


    So what do you understand by this, just by chanting hare krishna or any other mantra you can enter golok? no,if you remember
    the form of krishna only and then quit the body then we enter golok.


    So here it is clearly understood that by doing dhyaan(meditation) on krishna only we can remember krishna at the time of death.


    japa koti samam dhyanam(mahabharata,uttara gita)

    Crores of doing japa is equal to one meditation.

    The above shloka is spoken by krishna to arjuna in the uttara gita of the mahabharat,see lord krishna is himself saying that dhyaan is suerior to japa,
    who can be more authorative than krishna who is the knower of all the shashtras.


    And tell me one verse in the gita where krishna has instructed arjuna to do japa.


    Om ity ekasharam brahma vyaharan mam anusmaran

    Chanting the omkara remembering me.


    tasmat sarveshu kaleshu mam anusmara yudhya ca

    Oh arjun remember my form and then do yuddh.


    alodya sarva shastrani vicarya ca punah punah idam ekam hi sunispannam dhyeyo narayano harih
    (skanda purana)

    After studying all the shastras and contemplating on it's meaning again and again,it is dhyaan which has to be done on krishna.


    There is not even one shloka in the puranas which says that japa is the essence of all the shastras.


    ---------------------------

    What happened to ajamila--

    Here also the vishnu dutas instructed ajamila to do manasik bhakti and not with the senses.


    धास्ये मनो भगवति शुद्धं तत् कीर्तनाधिभिः (bhagavatam)
    Dhaasye mano bhagavati suddham tat kirtanadibhih

    I will do kirtan,dhyaan etc through my mind.


    So,how to do dhyaan---

    While you sit in sukh asana and start meditating on krishna the mind will go here and there,so to again fix the mind on krishna
    recollect that point from where your mind has been deviated,now the mind will become firm and you can continue doing dhyaan again.
