We must learn to chant the sweet name of
Rama with a pure, unsullied heart, in a spirit of selfless
devotion. Men should learn to speak sweetly and pleasingly.
Sweet speech confers peace. It is the means to self-realization.
Sri Rama loves to dwell in the heart of the man who speaks
sweetly. Wholehearted chanting of the name of Rama even once
can destroy mountains of sins. But the chanting should not
be done mechanically, like a gramophone record. It should
emanate from the depths of the heart. You must seek to redeem
your lives, by living up to Rama's ideals and proclaiming
them to the world. Remember the name of Rama with love. God
can be realized only through love and by no other means”.

(Divine Discourse - 14.4.89)
May Swami shower His grace and blessings
on all on this auspicious occasion
