Is it possible to chant Raama-naama 13 crore times? Rather, how to make it possible?
13 crore = 13 x 10^7
130000000/ 365 = 356164.38.
This means, if I chant one name per day, I will need 356164.38 years!
If I chant 10000 names per day, I will need 35.6 years.
Or, if I chant 35600 names per day (round it off to 36000), I will need 10 years!
Or, if I chant 100000 (1 lakh) names per day, I will need 3.56 years!!
To chant 108 times, it takes a little less than 40 seconds. Therefore to chant 1000 names it takes 6 minutes.
So, if I can chant for 1 hour everyday, I can hope our Lord will show His mercy in 36 years.
If I can chant for 3 hours and 36 minutes everyday, I can hope our Lord will show His mercy in 10 years.
Let me get started. There is so much time available (while travelling, while walking, while taking bath, etc) It is easy to do atleast one hour everyday! Let me get started; it is upto Him to show His mercy whenever He wishes to do so.
In response to a question “if I recite ‘Kanninunsiruthaambu 12000 times, will Nammaazhwaar appear and give me the 4000”, our Swamy had responded, “it depends on the mood/ attitude with which we do so. If we do so with faith and devotional begging attitude, Azhwaar is likely to come. In contrast, if we do with the attitude of testing or challenging, he will not appear.
Applying that lesson here, it is important for me to chant His name with proper attitude. Unfortunately I do not have the proper attitude now. But, if His name can purify Rathnakara to Valmiki, He can do so with me too.
