made such an exquisite arrangement, and it is also vyavasthit - it is ordained!
Read and Recite The Trimantra How is the mantra to be recited? For example, when you say "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya', as you recite these words, you should be able to visualize Lord Krishna. Regardless of the image you have of Lord Krishna, the moment you recite these words the image of Lord Krishna should come to you. What is the use if you recite this mantra but do not see the image of the one you are paying obeisance to?
If you just say the name alone, then the benefits you get will be limited, but along with the name, if you see their image, your benefits will be greater.
Om Namah Shivaya Questioner: 'Om Namah Shivaya'
Dadashri: In this world, whosoever becomes the embodiment of salvation (kalyan swaroop) is called shiva. Those who are presently living and have no ego are called shiva. As such there is no person named Shiva. Shiva in itself means kalyan swaroop -a savior. This obeisance is directed to those who have reached the state of kalyan swaroop, and are showing others the path; to such beings do I bow.
We bow to all who have attained the state of becoming an embodiment of salvation, whether they are in India or elsewhere!

Questioner: How should we meditate when we say "Namo Arihantanam"? Do we have to see a specific color?
Dadashri: 'Namo Arihantanam....', there is no need to be meditating on a color while saying "Namo Arihantanam', but if you want to, then close your eyes and you should be able to see the letters 'N-A-M-O A-R-I-H-A-N-T-A-N-A-M... You get tremendous benefits from this. Can you not read these letters as you say 'Namo Arihantanam'? Try practicing this, you will be able to read the letters.
Then Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya', even when you say this, you should be able to visualize each letter. You will be able to recite with each letter. If you practice this for two days then by the third day you will be able to see the letters very clearly.
Mantras seen and read (chintan) in this manner is meditation. It is called dhyana. If you read and recite the Trimantra in this manner, then your meditation will improve a lot.
Why do they sing 'I am Shiv and I am Nilkanth too'? When you drink the poisons this world serves you (when you accept all suffering, mistreatment, abuse etc., that you receive at the hands of others), then you too become shankara or shiv. If anyone abuses you and insults you and you accept it with equanimity (sambhaav), and you bless that person, you become shankar. Equanimity cannot be maintained all the time but when you bless your aggressor, it can be attained. If you try to maintain only equanimity it can backfire so you must also bless your aggressor.
When we go to Mahadev's (Lord Shankar's) temple, we
