Book - Listen to Heart: The Other Side of Life
www.listentoheart.in
In my journey of, ‘Listen to Heart…’ I am trying to understand the ‘purpose of life’ to find ‘The Other Side of Life’. I have learnt that ‘Whatever has happened in Maha-(Bharat) has happened in Bharat (India), is happening in Bharat (India) and will happen in Bharat (India). On the contrary whatever has not happened in Maha- (Bharat) has not happened in Bharat (India), is not happening in Bharat (India) and will not happen in Bharat (India)’.
I have learnt through Gita in which the preaching is given to Arjuna by Krsn himself; the methodology to deal with our life. This helps us to make our life beautiful, simple and with full of love. I have understood that Gita is not only related to spirituality but in fact it is a way of life which we view it as ‘The Other Side of Life’. It deals with science of spirituality and science of life. The teachings are very simple to implement in our life provided we all decide to keep our life simple and not make a complex one. To understand better as a child I started writing the learnings in my own words of understanding by taking help of related articles through some books, magazines, websites, etc. to enrich my knowledge and make it practical in life.
The journey started to understand if Gita is a way of life. I just have taken a small step and tried to understand the Science of Spirituality associated with Gita and found that there is a better and happier life on the other side. So the journey started of “Listen to Heart: The Other Side of Life”. I understood that what we say as “The Other Side of Life” is actually the way of life and what we term as the way of life is actually the other side of life but it up to us to decide. This helps us to “Change yourself Rather Changing Others …” as I can only change myself. The Learnings of “The Other Side of Life” helps us to deal with the Way of Life we are dealing with in day to day life. So we should perform our duty and karma by taking help from Gita.

2.1. Listen to Heart – Value the Value of Small….
We all make resolutions on some day or the other. The resolutions are generally made by us on some important day of the year or important day of our lives. Sometimes it is also made on normal days. The resolutions made on the important day are generally a reminder to us. How many of us after making the resolution are able to keep it and stick to it and for how many times? If you are able to keep to your words, I would personally like to congratulate you. If you are not then I would like to inform you that you are from 90%, who are not able to stick and fails in keeping up the resolution. This is small but a pivotal behavior in any human being. It happens generally because we make resolutions with enthusiasm and not determination. So the will power fails to achieve the target. We avoid listening to our heart. There is no co-ordination in this case between the mind-heart-soul. So we lose the self-control. By rethinking your resolutions and refocusing your willpower, you can learn how to nail your resolutions on the very first try. These compact and powerful commitments focus self-control on a precise and achievable behavioral target until it becomes as automatic as tying your shoes or locking the front door when you leave the house. A minor resolution or a small resolution would have turned our lives in big positive way but we could not keep the minor also for big result. This small resolution controlled our big lives rather big life controlling the small resolution. Now we need to decide which is smaller and observe the power of small. Now if we have understood the power of small then we should always value the value of small.
I would like to share a story ‘Lunch with God’. All of us must have heard or read. Still I take this opportunity to put down. The reason is that it teaches us that a small incidence gives love and satisfaction. After reading it once again I would like you all to value the value of small.
There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was, and he got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But, before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face; and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Krishna said, “That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul.”
Krishna tells about the real nature of soul. We all understand that consciousness is spread all over the body. We have discussed earlier that we all experience pain and pleasure through our consciousness. This consciousness is within one’s own body. Everybody is embodied with a soul and this soul is perceived as consciousness. The soul in size is considered as one tenth-thousand part of upper portion of the hair point. It is confirmed in Upanishad (5.9). When the upper point of a hair is divided into one hundred parts and again each of such parts is further divided into one hundred parts, each such part is the measurement of the dimension of the spirit soul.
“The soul is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air (Prana, Apana, Vyana, Samana and Udana), is situated within the heart, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. When the soul is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material air, its spiritual influence is exhibited.” The hatha-yoga system is meant for controlling the five kinds of air encircling the pure soul by different kinds of sitting postures—not for any material profit, but for liberation of the minute soul from the entanglement of the material atmosphere. The power of soul teaches us the power of small. So value the value of small.
So the constitution of the atomic soul is admitted in all Vedic literatures, and it is also actually felt in the practical experience of any sane man. Only the insane man can think of this atomic soul as all-pervading Vishnu-tattva. The influence of the atomic soul can be spread all over a particular body. According to the Mundaka Upanishad, this atomic soul is situated in the heart of every living entity, and because the measurement of the atomic soul is beyond the power of appreciation of the material scientists, some of them assert foolishly that there is no soul. The individual atomic soul is definitely there in the heart along with the Super-soul, and thus all the energies of bodily movement are emanating from this part of the body. The corpuscles which carry the oxygen from the lungs gather energy from the soul. When the soul passes away from this position, the activity of the blood, generating fusion, ceases. Medical science accepts the importance of the red corpuscles, but it cannot ascertain that the source of the energy is the soul. Medical science, however, does admit that the heart is the seat of all energies of the body.
Such atomic particles of the spirit whole are compared to the sunshine molecules. In the sunshine there are innumerable radiant molecules. Similarly, the fragmental parts of the Supreme Lord are atomic sparks of the rays of the Supreme Lord, called by the name Prabha, or superior energy. So whether one follows Vedic knowledge or modern science, one cannot deny the existence of the spirit soul in the body, and the science of the soul is explicitly described in the Bhagavad-gita.

54. Listen to Heart – Japa Yoga is Scientific…
In the article ‘Listen to Heart – Chanting is Better Than Chatting…’ we have discussed that we should focus on chanting. The mantra could be any depending on us or our spiritual master of our religion or other religion if we would like to follow. As per Hindu religion the ‘maha-mantra’ is a 16 word Vaishnava mantra which is mentioned in the Kali-Santarana Upanishad. It is also called as Hare Krishna mantra.
The Hare Krishna mantra is composed of Sanskrit names in the singular vocative case: Hare, Krishna, and Rama (in Anglicized spelling). The transliteration from the Devanagari (devanāgarī) script of the three vocatives is hare, kṛṣṇa and rāma. ‘Hare’ can be interpreted as the vocative of Hari, another name of Vishnu meaning ‘he who removes illusion’, or as the vocative of ‘Harā’, a name of Rādhā, Krishna's eternal consort or Shakti. According to A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Harā refers to ‘the energy of God’ while ‘Krishna’ and ‘Rama’ refer to God himself, meaning ‘He who is All-Attractive’ and ‘He who is the Source of All Pleasure’. Rama refers to Ramachandra Lord Ram which is one of the incarnations of Krishna. In the hymn Vishnu Sahasranama spoken by Bhishma in praise of Krishna after the Kurukshetra War, Krishna is also called Rama. Rama can also be a shortened form of Balarama, Krishna's first expansion. This sound vibration of maha-mantra surpasses all lower strata of consciousness - namely sensual, mental, and intellectual. These sixteen names are destructive of the evil effects of Kali. No better means than this is to be seen in all the Vedas. The mantra was popularized by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Srila Jiva Gosvami reveals the meaning of each of the sixteen Names in the Hare Krishna Mahaamantra
· (1-Hare): Krishna steals the minds of everyone, yet Radha steals even His mind by Her divine expertise. Thus She is known as Haraa.
· (2-Krishna): He forcibly attracts Sri Radha with the sweet sound of His flute, therefore that Lord of all enchanting qualities is known as Krishna.
· (3-Hare): It has been heard that during the rasa-lila, doe-eyed Radha was stolen away by Krishna to be alone with Him in a secret forest bower. She is therefore known as Haraa.
· (4-Krishna): When Krishna sports with Radha, Her golden hue takes on the dark complexion of Krishna's skin. He is thus known as Krishna.
· (5-Krishna): In order to please Sri Radha, Krishna manifested the most wonderful lake (Syama-kunda) in Vrndavana. He then called all the holy rivers to fill it. He is thus known as Krishna.
· (6-Krishna): By Her unsurpassed love, Radha charms He who performs wonderful lilas on the banks of the Yamuna. Therefore, those who are sober know Him as Krishna.
· (7-Hare): While in Gokula, Sri Hari (Krishna) killed the demon known as Aristasura. During that time, Radha cried out to Him with great feeling and by doing so, She stole His mind. She is thus known as Haraa.
· (8-Hare): Filled with ecstatic love, Radha sometimes sings the glories of Hari’s exploits quietly and sometimes She sings them aloud. Those who are expert in the secrets of divine sentiments call Her Haraa.
· (9-Hare): Due to the intense love of Sri Radha, Sri Hari becomes so captivated that His flute falls from His hand. With the desire to enjoy in the forest bowers with Krishna, Radha steals His flute. That goddess is thus famous as Haraa.
· (10-Raama): Krishna, who is expert at embracing, sports with Radha in the forest groves or in the caves of Govardhana. Thus He is known as Raama
· (11-Hare): That most merciful Radha destroys the miseries of Her devotees and gives them great happiness every day. Therefore that goddess is known as Haraa.
· (12-Raama): The minds of the devotees are continuously drowned in an ocean of supreme joy by seeing the beautiful dark form of Krishna. Therefore He is known by the Name Raama.
· (13-Raama): Radharani is known as Raama because She enjoys loving pastimes with Acyuta (Krishna) in a secret forest pavilion. Since He is always by Her side, He is known as Raama.
· (14-Raama): When the residents of Gokula were crying due to fear of the forest fire, Krishna immediately swallowed it and gave His devotees great joy. In this way, He is known as Raama.
· (15-Hare): Sri Krishna went to Mathurapuri in order to destroy the demons. However, due to being captivated by the love of Radha, He later returned. Therefore She is known as Haraa.
· (16-Hare): When the son of Maharaja Nanda returned to Vraja, He took away the suffering of all the Vrajavasis. By His wonderful exploits, He steals the heart of Sri Radha. Thus He is known as Hari.
Maha means “great” and mantra means “sacred chant for deliverance.” The words “Hare” (pronounced ha-ray), “Krishna” (pronounced krish-na), and “Rama” (rhymes with “drama”), are Sanskrit words. “Hare” is an address to God’s energy and directly addresses the energy of the Lord known as Radha, and “Krishna” is name of God meaning i.e. Supreme Personality of Godhead, “He who is attractive to everyone.” “Rama” means “reservoir of pleasure; one who gives pleasure and enjoys life.” When chanted the maha-mantra is a petition to God: “O Krishna, O energy of Krishna, please engage me in Your service.”
The repeating of Maha-mantra every day for fixed number of times is called Japa. The meaning of the word ‘man-tra’ is to release the mind. The word ‘man’ means mind and ‘tra’ means to release. So maha-mantra releases the mind from all sorts of troubles. The word ‘Yoga’ means connection. In Maha-Mantra Japa Yoga, the yogi is connected to the Lord by Maha-Mantra Japa. While chanting let the concentration of all the five senses be on the Lord. Before starting each round of maha-mantra get the blessing of Pancha Tattva.
Sri Krishna Caitanya Prabhu Nithyananda
Sri Advaida Gadhadara Srivasadi Gaura Bhakta Vrinda
1. Let the mouth chant clearly
2. Let the ear hear clearly
3. Let the eyes see the Lord’s form
4. Let the body touch the Tulsi beads
5. Let the nose smell the garland and paraphernalia offered to the Lord
Hold the bead in the right hand. There is one head bead, a bead that is bigger than all the rest. Grasp the first bead to one side of the head bead with right thumb and middle finger of the right hand. The index finger should not touch the bead. Roll the bead back and forth between thumb and middle finger and chant the ‘maha-mantra’. Say each word clearly and concentrate on the sound of each word of mantra. After chanting the complete mantra, move the thumb and middle finger to the next and chant again. Repeat for 108 times and complete 1st round. Do not chant on the head bead and do not cross over. Instead turn the whole set of beads around in the hand and chant in the other direction. The last bead of the first round is the first bead of the next round. Continue in the similar manner and complete the 2nd round and again follow the same steps and start the 3rd round and so on and on.
Maha-Mantra Japa Yoga is unconditional. No hard and fast rules for practicing. Practice anywhere any time in any situation. No bar for caste, color, creed or religion. Practice with or without liking. Any stage of pure or impure, confused or clear is acceptable. Need not to be in sacred place. Do it standing, walking, sitting, as you like. No guidance is required. The effect is always positive. No negative effect even if done wrongly. Have a self-correcting procedure. Train the practitioner not to control the senses but to dovetail or regulate the senses for higher purpose. So we should chant as much as we can to be closer to Krishna. We should also read articles and listen to the glories of Krishna. We should try to practice chanting at fixed time of the day. At that particular time the mind would be attracted to get the taste of chanting as it lead to addiction. No addiction can be stronger and better than the addiction of Hari. Chant each round in fixed duration. Try to control the agitated and running mind. Maha-mantra Japa Yoga is perfectly scientific in nature. If more than one sense out of five is engaged or involved in a particular object then the mind will automatically concentrate on it. During the japa of maha-mantra all the 5 senses are engaged so the mind concentrate on the Lord so it is scientific.
You can make incredible advancement during japa. Good japa is like flying down the highway in fourth gear. Good japa produces inspiration, realization, detachment, increased desire to serve, attraction to study scripture, and an ability to see maya's workings more clearly. And there are so many more gifts good japa delivers.

53. Listen to Heart – Chanting is Better Than Chatting…
We all love to have a company. We never like staying alone. When we come together we can never be quiet. The talk starts on any topic. We talk for the sake of talking. We as human beings are more interested in others’ happening. The talk is generally about someone we know or politics or movies etc. This type of talking which is done for the heck of it is basically what I mean it as ‘chatting’. It is also termed as ‘gossip’. Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about personal or private affairs of others. Gossip has been researched in terms of its evolutionary psychology origins. This has found gossip to be an important means by which people can monitor cooperative reputations and so maintain widespread indirect reciprocity. Indirect reciprocity is a thought as "I help you and somebody else helps me." It refers to the spreading of dirt and misinformation or scandals.
Chatting is generally negative in nature. The effects are always negative.
· Productivity of a person goes down
· By chatting one wastes time
· Trust is generally lost and morale gets eroded
· Discussion is without facts and with lack of information.
· Growing divisiveness among group “take sides,"
· Hurt feelings and reputations,
· Jeopardized chances for the gossipers' advancement as they are perceived as unprofessional
· Attrition as good people leaves the group due to the unhealthy atmosphere
We should try to avoid chatting or gossiping
· Rise above the gossip
· Understand what causes the gossip
· Be an inactive member if it cannot be avoided.
· Allow for the gossip to go away on its own
· If it persists, "gather facts and seek help."
· Practice Chanting
The word ‘Chanting’ is derived from a French word ‘Chanter’. It is rhythmic speaking or singing of words or sounds, often primarily on one or two main pitches called reciting tones. Chanting is generally a spiritual practice. Chant practices vary. Tibetan Buddhist chant involves throat singing, where multiple pitches are produced by each performer. The concept of chanting mantras is of particular significance in many Hindu traditions and other closely related Dharmic Religions. India's bhakti devotional tradition centers on kirtan. The Hare Krishna movement is based especially on the chanting of Sanskrit Names of God in the Vaishnava tradition.
The sacred utterances or chanting of Sanskrit Mantras provide us with the power to attain our goals and lift ourselves from the ordinary to the higher level of consciousness. They give us the power to cure diseases; ward off evils; gain wealth; acquire supernatural powers; worship a deity for exalted communion and for attaining blissful state and attain liberation. Mantras are Vedic in origin. The teachings of the Vedas consist of various Mantric chants or hymns cognized by different seers or Rishis from the Cosmic Mind. Since the Vedas are impersonal and eternal, the exact historical date of the origin of Mantra chanting is hard to arrive at.
A Mantra chanted correctly or incorrectly, knowingly or unknowingly, carefully or carelessly, is sure to bear the desired result for physical and mental well-being. The glory of Mantra chanting cannot be established through reasoning and intellect. It can be experienced or realized only through devotion, faith and constant repetition of the Mantra. It is important to have complete faith in the recitation of Mantras. It is primarily through faith - aided by strong will - that one achieves one's goals. A sound body and calm mind are essential for the chanter of Mantras. Once you are free from all worries and have achieved stability in mind and body, you will derive maximum benefit through the recitation of Mantras. You must have a definite object in view and a strong will power to obtain the desired objective, and then direct that will to achieve the goal.
The technique of chanting is very simple. It is we who try to complex it. Practice chanting the way we want but do practice. Focus on the practice of chanting rather than focusing complexity of chanting. This is a simple anytime, anywhere technique for energizing and centering yourself. Since this technique is to be practiced silently, you can do even when you are outdoors, or at work, or any time you are free for a few minutes. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Keep your body still and take a few deep breaths. Give your mind also some time to settle down. Now start chanting the mantra silently inside. There is no need to say the mantra aloud. Chant it to yourself, deeply and lengthily. Chant without moving your lips or tongue. Let each repetition bring you back to yourself. When you continue this for a while, you will suddenly realize that the chanting has fallen away, and the mind has become silent. These are beautiful moments. But almost as soon as you notice this, the thoughts will start again! Never mind, continue your chanting. Don’t focus on when the next silent moment is going to come, or it will never happen. Just enter into the chanting totally. Before you know it, the mind would have become still again. With repeated practice, you will be able to feel this silence within a few moments of chanting, and the silent intervals will also be longer.
It is believed and has been claimed by scientists that men speak around 7,000 words a day whereas women speak 20,000 words a day. So women speak more than the men in a day. I was trying to find a reason for minimum chanting of maha-mantra for 16 rounds a day. The maha-mantra has 16 words. If one chants for 1 round i.e. 108 beads it means he has spoken 1728 words. If it is practiced for 16 rounds it means he has spoken 27648 words. It is more than an average speaking of words by women also. So it could be one of the reasons to decide on for 16 rounds. Some people practices chanting for 4 times of 16 rounds i.e. 110592 words. If one has to speak then one should speak about the lord only.
One can select any mantra for chanting. We can take help and advice from his spiritual guru on the selection of mantra. According to me mantra does matter but what more matters is chanting of mantra. Chanting is suggested in all religion. It gives us positive energy. It allows us to stay away from chatting and gossiping thus to keep the negative vibration away. Chanting gives us positive energy and vibrations. It cleans our mind and heart and soul. Chanting allows us to bring positive change within ourselves. There are many people ask me the reason of my chanting and its benefits. I have strong belief that during my chanting process, I do not think negative about others. I avoid chatting and gossiping. I do not blame anyone during that time. I conclude that during that time I do not do any negative at least if not positive. I personally get strength and peace and power. I start believing more on myself. “Change yourself rather changing others….” through chanting. The mantra could be;
· Om….
· Om Ganpati Namah….
· Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare…
· Shree Radhe Shree Radhe Radhe Shree Radhe…
· Hari Bol….
· Radhe Radhe…
· Ram Ram ….
· Harihar Harihar….
· Om Namo Shivai…
All Glories to Lord Krishna & All His Loving Devotees….. Hari Bol……
