I pray a lot but have no peace

Revered Sir,
I want to remember Krishna as Govinda. Is there a simple line
which I can recite. I pray a lot but have no mental peace.
Regards, Ramgopal

Ramgopalji. This is not your problem alone. Almost entire humanity
experiences lack of peace mostly at all times, in different manners.
In fact this world has been defined by Lord Krishna Himself
as "dukhalayam". Whoever wants something from this world -
immediately and instantly- this world becomes painful for him. It is
a law.

Be happy at the outset, that Saints and Sages, Scriptures like
Gitaji, Ramayana etc have given enough methods to all of us to get
rid of this common humanity disease.
You will indeed receive right counsel from brothers and sisters of
this forum. Keep tuned with an enthuasism with this Gita Talk
deliberations.. The fruit has ripened, parrots will come.

First step- stop expecting that any peace can arise out of your
chanting the name of God or by your prayers. Prayers are not meant
to barter peace against the same. They should be full of your
gratitude to Govinda. He gave you human life, He gave you chance to
realise even Him. His grace only has made it possible for you to be
able to pray. What more is needed? Simply keep doing that , as much
as you can. All names of God are same. Govinda also is a beautiful
name. Simply keep praying-with a masti (bliss).Do not connect your
lack of peace with your prayers.

Lack of peace has no connection with your prayers or with intensity
thereof. The cause for lack of peace is your connection with the
world. The cause of lack of peace is your mind to which machine you
supplied "desires" as input. The cause for lack of peace is your
expectation from all people around you, from circumstances
surrounding you. We will assess them.

We shall deliberate further systematically.

Jai Shree Krishna

Dear all,
For remembering Krishna as Govinda, chant the following lines.

"SHRIKRISHNA GOVINDA HARAE MURARAE,
SHRINATHA NARAYANA VASUDEVA!"

Ramgopal Bhaiyya ! Namaste Jee!! Ashanti - lack of peace - no ! It
is gone from today, Jee ! !

Bhaiyya except Govinda, nothing is yours, Jee. Now where is lack of
peace? All else are going to leave you, in fact they are leaving you
continuously. This money, health, wealth, body, wife, children,
kith, kin, house -all the things about which you get so much
worried - NOTE Bhaiyya - after some time you will not even remember
them. Believe Me , Dear Brother. If there is any method of
remembering them then tell who were your parents in previous life?
Where you used to live in last life? Just as you don't remember your
last life, you will not remember this life also ! ! Any doubt on
this?

Now Bhaiyya, when it is certain that you will not even remember in
dreams, these worldly things, people, circumstances, situations-
then where is the sense in worrying about them today, Jee ?

Therefore sing fearlessly - Mere to Girdhar Gopal, Doosaro na koi".
If the world is going to dogs because of that, let it go. World can
only go to dogs. It is meant for that only. Nothing else can happen
with the world. Even if entire world vanishes- don't worry. You and
your Govinda shall remain forever. Don't even consider any other
thing.

Govinda is mine - accept this and become blissful ! Jee! . Even if
entire world becomes annoyed with you Jee - Damn care. Mere to
Girdhar Gopal. Govinda is mine. More than enough - Jee.

Saadhu sabhi vichaar kar, divi jagat ne pooth

Peechhe dekhi jaavati , to pahale hi baitho rooth

(Saints accumulated at one place, deiscussed and turned their back
towards the world. When later on the world is not going to stay,
then why not we should stay away from it, now itself! )

Jee Jee

Dear Ram Gopal Madiraju,
it will take some time to immerse your self in joy of unending
purusha, so keep on reciting u will get lost and start having peace
"shapurshiva"
----------------------------------------------------------

Shri Ramgopal Ji,

Rama Nama is the simplest and most powerful medicine for Peace of
Mind.
When chanting (praying) Rama Nama with Sincerity and faith, as a
child calls the mother, the LORD obliges immediately.

There is nothing that Rama Nama is not capable of giving.
THE NAME ITSELF IS SUFFICIENT.

rama nama japataam kuto bhayam. Where is the scope to fear anything
(including mental disturbances) for one who decorates his lips with
Rama Nama.

Ananya chintan of the LORD is required. Depending solely on the LORD
(the LORD and the LORD's Name being non-different)
"Ananyas Chintayantomam Ye Janah Paryupasathe, Tesham
Nithyabhiyuktanam Yoga Kshemam Vahamyaham."
Lord Krishna declares, "Whoever thinks of me incessantly, I will be
always with them and look after their welfare completely."


The more we mere mortals try and control things or expect things the
greater the level of anxiety.
In contrast, the more we let go thus the greater the level of
surrender to the will of the LORD, the greater the level of peace of
MIND.

Shri Ramgopalji

Mental peace will come out of a firm belief that "I AM IN THE SAFE
HANDS OF KRISHNA AS GOVINDA. HENCE I JUST CARRY ON WITH MY
ACTIVITIES AS BEST AS I CAN WITHOUT EXPECTATION OF ANY REWARD OR
PUNISHMENT. IT IS ALL HIS"
Imagine yourself as a child in HIS hands. Does a child in the hands
of a loving mother worry about its food, water, clothing or shelter?

Simple line to recite 24 hours a day:

KRISHNAYA VASUDEVAYA DEVAKI NANDANAYA CHA; NANDAGOPA KUMARAYA
GOVINDAYA NAMOH NAMAHA:

I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND YOUR INNER PEACE SOON.

RADHE SHYAM

Dear Sadak
Mother Draupadi sang this song when she beeing disrobed.
"Shanku Chakra Gadha Panim Drwaraka Nilaya Achuda
GOVINDA pundarikacha Rakshamam Saranagatha".
For mind peacefulness Sat Sangh to know yourself and visit temples
Mental peace within oneself, has to be uncovered.
