Many people think that chanting the name in such a situation may be inappropriate. These days, a video of Premanand Maharaj on this topic is becoming increasingly viral on social media i.e. Instagram.
Should one chant names in bed?
In the video, a woman is seen asking him a direct question. She asks whether it is correct to take the name of God while sitting or lying on the bed or not. Premanand Maharaj answers this question in very calm and simple words. He says that there is no restriction on taking the name of God. No matter what condition a person is in, he can remember God. He also told that chanting the name is considered purifying in the scriptures.
Some special rules for Guru Mantra
Maharaj, while explaining the meaning of a Sanskrit verse, says that whether a person is pure or impure, if he remembers God, he becomes pure from inside and out. According to him, remembering the name in itself is a power that purifies the mind and soul.
However, Premanand Maharaj also clarified that there is a difference in chanting Guru Mantra Naam. Some special rules have been given for Guru Mantra. He said that one should not chant the Guru Mantra while sitting on the bed where household activities take place.
Chanting of Guru Mantra is prohibited in toilet
Additionally, chanting the Guru Mantra in a toilet or in a situation considered impure is prohibited. But chanting the name of God is different from these rules. This can be done at any time at any place.
Main purpose of chanting name
According to Maharaj, the main purpose of chanting the name is to purify the mind and increase connection with God. When a person takes the name of God again and again, his thoughts become positive. His mind becomes calm. This is why he advised people to remember God in every situation. Because chanting the name not only strengthens the soul but also inspires the person to walk on the right path.
