The Sastras proclaim: The Only means to attain moksham is Nama Sankirtanam.
"Dhyayan krte yajan yagne hi trethayam- dvapare archayan yadhapnoti tadhapnoti kalau sankirtana keshavam"
So should we have to only chant the Divya namas of Bhagavan? shouldnt we have to perform our Karma Yogam which was itself the subject matter of discussion in Bhagavad Gita?
How is Nama Sankirtanam and Karma Yogam inter-related?
Certainly- Nama sankirtanam is itself very powerful that it could remove our sins. However are we so much advanced that we could continue perform nama sankirtanam throughout the day(24*7).
There could be very few jnana yogis such as the great namacharya Sri HAridas Thakur of the gaudiya sampradaya. We cannot compare ourselves with them.Everyone are certainly enganged in their respective responsibilties and duties to perform, therefore in such unavoidable circumstance how do we immune ourself from the sins we commit during our daily course of our action. Therefore the discipline of Karma Yogam is very essential.
We could compare this with an Elephant, which takes batht nicely in a clean pond and when it comes out it again washes itself with the dust and dirt along the streets.
Therefore Nama-sankirtana and Karma Yogam are very closely inter-related.
Nama sankirtanam without Karma is useless and in vain.
