Jnana Dev-Nama Dev
A short Story from Chinna Katha 2
Two young boys named Jnana Dev and Nama Dev were walking in a forest. Both of them grew very thirsty. They walked along the path until the stopped at a nearby well. However the problem was that both boys were not able to reach the water in the well. Thus both of them simply just started praying. In a few minutes, Jnana Dev suddenly became a bird and was able to fly to the bottom on the well to get water. At the same time, with Nama Dev’s prayers the water level rose high enough for the young boy to reach out and get water.
This story proves the essence of Namasmarana. Namasmarana is when one repeats the Lord`s Name as a form of a prayer. Even as young boys they were able to get the Lords attention by mere Namasmarana. Just by repeating the Lords name we can ensure that God will always be near us. It does not matter as to who’s name that is being repeated. The most important part of the Namasmarana is the concentration and devotion created towards God.
