Gandhi and Ramanama

Gandhi and Ramanama
*******

It is now 3:03 am, a sweet, silent, holy night in which everything but the crickets and treefrogs has grown silent. This really is a very fine time to think, meditate, and get some practical stuff done-- like email and sweeping.

Gandhi drew his great strength from a practice called "Ramanama"-- the cycled and continuous interior repetition of a name of God as a mantra. (It is supposed to get the small self out of the way, so that the higher Self can "come through" into the world. Experience has shown it sometimes is successful!:)
