Krishna's Name Is The Most Effective Medicine In The World

Today we will look at the meaning of the divya nama Shashwatasthanu from
अमृतः शाश्वतस्थाणुः वरारोहो महातपाः
and also how King Yayati described the greatness of Bhagavan to Indra's messenger, Matali.

शाश्वतस्थाणुः – he is both shashwata and sthanu, both permanent and firm.
Both are two different qualities – water is permanent but its states keep on changing, it could be water, ice, snow, vapor.
His firmness is in his never changing nature.
There is a difference between amrita described earlier and Shashwatasthanu.
Amrita can not be called permanent.
Amrita is a material.
It is a material that came out through churning of the real ocean with a lot of medicinal herbs put into it.
It is a material in the sense that it was inside a pot and taken around.
Anything that is material can not be permanent.
It will be effective for a certain period.
Then it has to expire.
This aspect of amrita is highlighted here in this divya nama Shashwatsthanu.
So Bhagavan just can't be Amrita alone.
Amrita is just part of him.
He is not impermanent like Amrita.
He is shashwata, eternal and firm, sthanu.
Amrita was only drunk once by the Devas.
But Bhagavan you are not satisfied drinking once.
Amrita itself is so sweet, so tasty that you would want to keep on drinking, again and again.
But that opportunity you will not get.
But Bhagavan you can keep on drinking as many times as you want.
Shasha also means pleasure, who enjoys the highest pleasure, the highest bliss?
शश्वन्तः - the liberated.
He is the lord of the liberated, hence he is called Shashwata.
His methods are firm, sthanu, firm and simple.
Worship him, take his name, meditate upon him.
These methods don't keep on changing, because he is sthanu.
Matali had come to take Yayati to the higher worlds as per the order of Indra.
He told Yayati, first let's go to Indra loka, then to Brahma loka, then to Shiva loka, then to Vishnu loka.
These worlds are not affected by pralaya.
Yayati told Matali - You have already narrated to me the good and bad about Indraloka.
I am not going anywhere leaving this body behind.
The most sacred thing to do is to chant the divine names of the Lord.
This is the rasayana, the rejuvenator that I drink everyday.
This rasayana cures all my diseases.
This rasayana removes the ill effects of all the sins I have done from the body.
Diseases are the effects of your own bad karma.
The rasayana called the chanting of the divine names removes the ill effects of all the bad karma of the current and previous births.
This rasayana cures all the diseases of the body.
Srikrishna's name is the most effective medicine in the world.
I am surprised, even when this medicine is available, why people still fall sick, why diseases still torment them, why they even die.
That's because these fools don't drink that rasayana.
विद्यमाने हि संसारे कृष्णनाम्नि महौषधे ।
मानवा मरणं यान्ति पापव्याधिप्रपीडिताः ।
न पिबन्ति महामूढाः कृष्णनामरसायनम् ॥
How can you purify the body, make it strong and healthy?
Worship Bhagawan with the body, meditate upon him with the mind, chant his names, follow discipline, speak only the truth, help others, share with others, that's how you purify the body and keep it healthy.
Only a pure body is healthy.
These days we have detox diet.
People go for only fruit diet or take ayurvedic combinations to detox the body. They even go for detox treatment, one week, two weeks.
Nothing will be needed if you follow what was prescribed by Yayati.
Yayati says, I will not go to Swarga, I by practicing all these will turn this earth itself into heaven, by his grace.
