念诵圣名（Namasmarama 持名）

	言语有极大的威力。它们能激起情绪亦能平息情绪。它们指引或激怒，启示或迷惑。它们是强大的力量，把储存的力量和智慧给带出来。舌头应该用来念诵主的名号。它不应该用来发出毒蛇的嘶嘶声或吓人的咆哮声。这可不是天赋人以舌头的目的。要念诵圣号，那么，圣号的甜蜜就会充满你的舌头而增进你的味觉。言语是那么的强而有力，以致于能显示一个人的品格，揭露一个人的个性，教育他人和传达经验与知识。所以，宜谨言。滑交所造成的伤害尚可抚平而说漏嘴所造成的伤害则无以弥补。经书上说，现在的这个时代，对修习‘超脱’来说是颇为有利的，因为，过去的时代，苦行被规定为‘超脱’的必要法门，而当今的伽利时代（Kali Yuga），持名即可究竟超脱。当主的名号，连同相关的荣耀被忆念时，妙乐的甘泉即从内心涌出。主是充满妙乐的，其实，‘他’就是妙乐本身。这妙乐可借由圣名来体验和品尝。毗耶沙（Vyasa 广博仙人）本人就体悟这一点。有一次，当一些求道者前来向他讨教，问哪一个‘‘时代’最利于世人修习‘超脱’，毗耶沙早于预料他们的问题，他大声对自己重复地说，‘诞生于伽利期的人有福了！多简单啊，只要念诵圣号即可获得圣恩。’ 若以爱和信心去念诵神的名号，名号就有力量把圣恩带给求道者。圣号也具备横越汪洋的压倒性的力量。它能授予不可思议的力量与勇气。当问及哈奴曼(Hanuman 神猴）是否得到‘罗摩圣名’（Ramanama）的加持才能越过海洋时，罗摩回答，由于他的肉身名叫罗摩，而罗摩这名字是由湿婆（Siva）和毗湿奴（Vishnu）的根音（Bijakshras：Bija，种子，Akshara,音节）组成的（Siva 的别名rudra，其根音是ra；Vishnu即madhava,其根音是ma），仅凭他一人即可征服罗波那（Ravana）及其爪牙。圣号就有如此效力。借持名，就很容易确认主和主的特性。舌头务必借由持名来圣化。它也必须用来作甜蜜温馨的表达以便传达满足和喜悦。要念着神，你在‘他’ 之内移动，是‘他’使你移动，而‘他’本身就是这浩瀚宇宙----- 包括每一个微小的原子和每一个巨大的星球，的神，要念着‘他’！选择这遍在的、内寓的神的某个名和相，常把它挂在舌上和置于灵眼之前。那就是所谓的 Japa--Sanita--Dhyanam（持名兼坐禅）。当你选择一个名和相来持念（Smarana）时，可千万别说其他名和相的坏话。你的举止应该像一个联合大家庭里的主妇一样。她尊敬和侍候家庭里的长者，如家翁，家翁的兄弟及她自己丈夫的兄弟，而她的心全系于她的丈夫，并以一种特别的方式去表达她对丈夫的爱与尊敬。如果你对他人的信仰吹毛求疵，诸多挑剔，那你的虔诚是虚假的了。若真诚，你也会欣赏他人的真诚。主的名号何止千万。没有一个名号不是‘他’的。基士拿（Krishna）、斯里尼瓦萨（Shrinivasa）、赛巴巴（Sai Baba）---- 一切名皆属同一实体所有。

	薄伽梵斯里沙迪亚赛108圣号

	我们赞颂薄伽梵斯里沙迪亚赛峇峇的108个名号，每一个名号描述祂那无以计量的，神圣的特质和力量。108圣号中的每一个圣号都以‘AUM SRI SAI’（唵斯里赛）作为开始而以‘NAMAHA’（我顶礼）作为结束。这四个字的意义是什么？ AUM（唵）以‘AUM’作为开始来赞颂每一个圣号；AUM（唵）是混沌初开，万物肇始时所发出的一种原始之音。宇宙间的一切声音仅是此原始之音的震波或振动而已，所以这声音被视为圣洁无比。同样的理由，AUM（唵）代表梵也象征梵（Brahman）；梵即弥漫一切的至高无上的宇宙意识本身。AUM（唵）被称为‘Pranava Mantra’（唵真言），具备灵性意义和灵性力量的圣洁音节。 SRI（斯里） ‘SRI’象征深深嵌入于神之中的吉祥所呈现的微妙，魅力和高雅。它也代表灵性彰显和灵性力量所发出的光芒。 SAI（赛） SAI（赛）是SA 与 AYI 的结合体。‘SA’意指创造主，万物创造者（Sarveshwara）而‘AYI’指的是Shakti（萨克蒂）或有创造力的能量或天下母。是故，SAI (赛）是我们神圣父母的化身，照顾我们的物质福利以及我们朝向明心见性之路的灵性进展。 NAMAHA（顶礼）一般说法，NAMAHA 意谓我顶礼或我的Namaskaram（顶礼）。NAMAHA 也有一个深邃的意义，跟这些圣洁的名号有更深一层的关联，并在每一个名号结束时都以此自作为终结。‘NA’意指‘不’或‘无’。‘MA’指虚幻；虚幻使人认同呆滞的肉身（自我）并因此而把人置于无知，痛苦和死亡的泥泞里。因此，NAMAHA表示一个人降服其自我给全在，全知和全能的神，于其体认他亦为无上实体的一部分。是故，每一个圣号都以这代表尊敬，顶礼和诚服的特别语音来结束。所以，在念诵每一个圣号之前，先念诵‘AUM SRI SAI’（唵斯里赛），其目的在于提高我们的视力之于薄伽梵斯里沙迪亚赛的无上荣耀，而在每个圣号结束之后，念诵‘NAMAHA’（我顶礼），其目的在于唤醒我们之内的对这时代的神化身（Avatar）的尊敬，谦卑和自我降服的一种精神。念诵以下每一个名号都必须具备这种精神。

	Namasmarana

	Words have tremendous power. They can arouse emotions and they can also calm them. They direct or infuriate, they reveal or confuse. They are potent forces that bring up great reserves of strength and wisdom. The tongue should be used for pronouncing the Name of the Lord. It should not be used to hiss like a serpent, or growl or roar with intention to strike terror. That is not the purpose for which the tongue is granted to man. Dwell on the Name, and its sweetness will saturate your tongue and improve your taste. Speech is so powerful that it indicates one’s character, reveals one’s personality, educates others and communicates experience and information. So be vigilant about words. Slip while walking, the injury can be repaired; but slip with talking, the injury is irreparable. The present age is described in the scriptures as very conducive to Liberation for, while in past Ages, rigorous penance was prescribed as the means, the present Kali Age requires only Namasmarana to win Liberation. When the Name of the Lord is remembered with all the Glory that is associated with It, a great flood of happiness wells up in the mind. The Lord is full of Bliss and in fact He is Bliss Itself. All this Bliss is to be tasted through the Name. Vyasa himself knew this, for when some sages once went to him to find out which Yuga is most conducive to success in man’s efforts for Liberation, Vyasa anticipated their question and repeated to himself aloud, `How fortunate are those destined to be born in the Kali Yuga! It is so easy to win the Grace of the Lord by Namasmarana in the Kali Age.’ The Name of God, if recited with Love and Faith, has the power to bring upon the eager aspirant the Grace of God. The Name has the over-mastering power of even leaping over the ocean. It can award unimagined strength and courage. When questioned whether it was Ramanama that strengthened Hanuman to cross the ocean, Rama replied that since His Body was called Rama, the Name that combines the Bijaakshras of both Siva and Vishnu, He Himself was able to conquer Ravana and his hordes. The name has such efficacy. By repeating the Name, the Lord and His Attributes can easily be identified. The tongue must be sanctified by repetition of the Name. It has also to be used for sweet expressions which will spread contentment and joy. Remember that God, in whom you move, the God Who makes you move, the God who is all this Vast Universe- every little atom and every huge star, remember Him! Select some Name and Form for this All-pervasive Immanent God and keep It on your tongue and before your mental eye. That is what is called Japa-sahita-dhyanam. Recitation of the Name-cum-meditation. When you select one Name and one Form for Smarana, do not talk ill of other Names and Forms. Behave like the woman of a joint family. She respects and serves the elders of the family, such as the father-in-law and his brothers and her own brothers-in-law, but her heart is dedicated to her husband, whom she loves and reveres in a special manner. If you carp at the faith of others your devotion is fake. If you are sincere, you will appreciate the sincerity of others too. The Lord has thousands of Names. There is no Name that is not His. Krishna, Shrinivasa, Sai Baba- all Names are of the same Entity.
	Excerpted from Sri Sathya Sai Baba Divine Discourse on His 43rd Birthday

	Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Astottara Shatha Namavali (108 Names of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

	This is a garland of 108 sacred names in praise of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, each describing one of His countless Divine attributes and powers. Each of these 108 sacred names begins with AUM SRI SAI and ends with the word NAMAHA, what does these four words signify? AUM The chanting of each names starts with Aum which is the primordial sound from which the whole creation has emerged. All the sounds in the Universe are only waves or vibrations of this primeval sound which is therefore, considered most sacred. For the same reason, Aum represents and also symbolises the Brahman or the all-pervading Supreme Cosmic Consciousness itself. It is called 'Pranava mantra', Sacred syllable having spiritual significance and power. SRI 'Sri' signifies the subtle beauty, charm and grace of auspiciousness embedded in the Divine. It also stands for the radiance of spiritual manifestation and power in any particular deity - goddess or god. SAI 'Sai' is the composite form of 'Sa' indicating Sarveshwara the creator or Father of Creation and 'Ayi' indicating Shakti or the creative Energy or the Mother of creation. Thus, Sai is the embodiment of our Divine Father as well as Mother looking after our material welfare as well as our spiritual progress towards realizing the truth of our own divinity. NAMAHA In common parlance, Namaha means 'my salutation or namaskaram'. Namaha has also a deeper significance, which is more relevant in these sacred names all of which end with this word. 'Na' means no, not, or nil. 'Ma' signifies delusion which makes one identify himself with the inert body (Ego) and, thereby, subjects him to ignorance, misery and death. 'Namaha', thus, signifies the surrender of one's ego to the - Omnipresent, Omniscient and Omnipotent God in recognition of the truth that we are also a part of that supreme reality. Each of these sacred names, therefore, ends in a note of reverence, salutations and surrender. Thus 'AUM SRI SAI', at the beginning of each name is intended to elevate our vision to the sublime glory of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai while 'Namaha' at the end of each name serves to awaken in us a spirit of reverence, humility and self-surrender to the Avatar of this Age. It is in this spirit that we have to chant each of the line in the following Namavali.
