Sri Surdas Maharaj – Sri Sur – Vinaya – Pathrika – The significance of remembrance of ‘Harinama’

 


Chapter – 105 -  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika – The significance of remembrance of ‘Harinama’

Sri Surdas Maharaj speaks “Oh! Mind, contemplate, and meditate upon the sacred names of Lord Sri Hari, and put it into your mind that there are no superior Yajja/fire sacrifices to Harinama Smaran/remembrance of sacred names of Lord Sri Hari. The demon King Hiranyakashipu driven afar from the devotion and faith upon Lord Sri Hari, finally, Lord Sri Hari incarnated as half lion and half man at the appeal of his child devotee Prahladha/son of Hiranyakashipu and ripped off the chest of the demon. Oh! Mind, the supreme Lord Sri Hari is most promising to deities, Santh, Mahathma, and noble souls, he is the enemy of wicked demons. The elephant/Gajendra, Ghridhraraj/Jatayu, Ganika/prostitute, and Byadh/hunter, got rid of their sins with their devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Jeeva, the nectar-like pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari fill into the vessel like your heart, let it overflow from your heart, that would protect you from the Thapathraya/the grief and sufferings of worldly existence and repeated births. Oh! Mortal, Devi Dhraupadhi was humiliated in the large assembly of Kaurava, and Dhusshasan tried to remove her clothes, there was no one to protect her, she cried for help calling ‘Govinda’, the next moment a heap of clothes was offered by Lord Krishna protected Devi Dhraupadhi from further disgrace, in this way, whenever Pandavas was troubled by the Kauravas, the supreme Lord Sri Krishna was there to protect them from all the hardships. Oh! Mortals, the great battle of Kurukshetra held between the Pandavas/righteousness and Kauravas/evil, killed the eminent warriors like Karnna, Dhuryodhan, Dhusshasan, and their hundreds of brothers, Shakuni, etc. Oh! Mortal, the twice-born Ajamila who abandoned Bhraminic life, family, and aged parents to appease his lust, lived with a prostitute in the forest, finally, at the death bed, he called for his younger son ‘Narayana’ out of fear, thus he got freed from the noose of Yama/death, and became a fervent devotee of Lord Sri Hari. Oh! Mortal, Lord Sri Krishnachandra is the source of the four Purusharththa 1) Dharma/righteousness, 2)Arththa/wealth 3) Kama/desire, and 4) Moksha/renunciation, he is Kalpavruksha/wish-fulfilling tree, hence contemplate and meditate upon Lord Sri Hari, leaving interest in worldly matters of possession, richness, fame, money, wealth, wife, children, companion, relatives, etc. of fleeing nature that would shovel into constant grief/Thapathraya/three kinds of grief.”
