THE IMPORTANCE OF NAMA JAPA:

The sun shines for others,the trees bear fruit for others,the rivers
flow for the good of others,the cows yield milk for others.Human
birth is,likewise,meant for doing good to others.Mother nature
provides us with all the basic necessities of life and the rest
society takes care.Being recipients of the blessings of all these,we
owe them a deep debt of gratitude.It wld never be possible for us to
repay this debt in full but we can do so and the ideal way to achieve
our aim - peace and happiness- is to do everything possible to make
others happy ,by leading a harmonious family life,by being a
conscientious,loyal,hardworking,service oriented individual,by being
responsive to the sufferings/demands of the lesser privileged ones in
particular and the well being of the society in general.

Many may not be in a position to do physical service or to offer
their wealth, but all, without exception,can use their MIND in God's
service i.e they can chant the name of God more and more and pray for
world peace and thus put into practice 'Universal Service'
