The scriptures (Vedas and Puranas) deserve to be read and
heard. God's Name should be recited and listened to.
For some ailments, medicines are prescribed for external application
or consumption. However, for this universal ailment of
Bhavaroga (the cycle of birth and death), Sravanam
(Listening to the Glory of God) and Kirtanam (Reciting or
Singing the glory of God) are the medicines prescribed for internal
and external use. Every aspirant must utter as well as listen to
God's Name to receive His Grace.
