Name chanting vs guru mantra
Premanand Maharaj made it clear that there is a significant difference between chanting the name and Guru Mantra. He told that you can chant the name in any situation, any place. This means that even if you are sitting on the bed, traveling, or doing some other work, you can still chant the name of God. Maharaj Ji even said that the name can be chanted in the toilet, because the name of God is sacred everywhere, in every situation.
But, there are some rules for Guru Mantra. According to Premanand Maharaj, the Guru Mantra should not be chanting everywhere. In particular, the bed on which household life is used, should not be chanting the Guru Mantra. Apart from this, chanting of Guru Mantra is also prohibited in unholy places like toilets. Premanand Maharaj’s message is that there is no bond to take the name of God. You can chant the name anywhere, under any circumstances. Yes, the Guru Mantra should always be chanting at a pure and holy place.
