The Lord and Sadhana

The name of the Lord when contemplated with love and sincerity is much superior to any benefit given by any asana or pranayama. The name will protect us like the eyes are protected by the eyelids or like the mother tortoise protects the baby.

In the kali yuga no difficult penance is needed to reach the Lord. A pure heart, melting at other's misery, good deeds and constant contemplation of God and His glory is what we need. By practising asanas only our insides are affected and that too only on a physiological level but when we dwell on the Lord's name and sing his glory by bhajans ( naama sankirtana) the good vibrations are spread to others too. The entire area becomes sanctified.
