Importance of Nama japa, naama sankeertana, bhajan sampradaaya

There was a hunter who was in his deathbed. His son was standing next to him. His son was seeking advice from his father as to how he should earn a living. In reply the hunter mentioned, “Prahara  Aahara Samhara”. Prahara means to hunt, Aahara means to bring and Saamhara means to kill and so the hunter advised his son to go for hunting. If we remove the prefix of all three words and only focus on the suffix, which is “hara”, it verily means Lord Shiva. Saying the three words, the hunter passed away. Immediately Lord Shiva’s sub-ordinates [Shiva Ganas] came to take the hunter to Kailasha since he chanted His Name, even though unknowingly, before he died. Such is Lord Shiva’s compassion and love.

The mumoorthigal of bhajana sampradaya are:
1) Sri Bodhendra swamigal, Govindapuram
2) Sridhara Venkatesa Ayyaval, Thiruvisainallur
3) Sathguru swamigal, Marudanallur
