Jay shree krushn
As I know Nam seva is to do SMARAN of Thkorji. We should keep speek Shree Thakorji's name in mind. In this KALIYUG we can only perform NAM-SEVA. JEEV has only ability of SMARAN. other thing like SEVA is not our ability(SAMARTHYA). Shree Thkorji is taking our seva with KANI of SHRE MAHAPRABUJI AND SHREE GUSAIJI.
correct me if i am wrong.

Jai Shree krsna
Naam seva (chanting the name of the lord) is one of the form or steps of NAVDHA BHAKTI n we can not do all the 9 steps of Navdha Bhakti so NAAM Simran is the way to pray to god as we all lead a very hectic life.

Jai Shri Krishna,
You are right. Good both of you.
But in Pushtimarg One should read the treaties, preachings, Vachanmrut of His Holiness of Shrimad Vallabhacharyaji, Shri Gusainji, Shri Purshotamtamji, Shri Hariraiji and other Goswami Balak's preachings and thoughts on the subjects together with chantings of ASHTAKSHARMANTRA.
This is NAM SEVA.

Jai Shri Krishna
Vasant bhai is abosolutly correct. Nam Seva is reciting of preachings.
Here I submit,that Bhakta Tulsidas in RAMAYAN has written that:
" KALIYUG KEVAL NAM ADHARA
SUMARI SUMARI JAG UTARHI PARA"
MATHING WITH FIRST SHLOKA OF KRISHNASHRAYA.
Secondly , there is angya of doing nam seva as detailed by Sri Vasantbhai when Thakroji pratyakha seva is not being carried out.
Jai Shree Krishna

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
A long back, the topic discontinued, regarding Naam Seva,
Naam seva is the best prakaar in the Kaliyug, which ShriMahaprabhuji says.

jai shree krishna
yes i agree that naam smaran is the biggest thing which u can do in this kaliyug, this is because sometimes people cant due to some reason perform thakorji's seva (infact we say we do seva but basically what i think we do is just hath pavitra in this kaliguy) the time when we do seva with all our heart that the basobavan vaishnavs and choryasi vaishnav did then its called seva, because thakorji would talk to them because he would be happy with their seva and their love but in todays time,we dont do that.
when we are doing seva and some one comes in ur relative and u start talking to them about loaukik vat, and you leave you thakorji who is a baby talking to them not realising that he needs to be done his shringar then raj bhog or mangla he might be hungry. we dont care anything like that in this kaliguy thats why thakorji doesnt talk to us in this kaliguy.
and when we say ke MARA ghare thakorji bhirajeche, well here we have done bhed now because, thakorji only resides when its shree mahaprabhuji's house, the house we live in we consider OURS rather then shree thakorji's or shree mahaprabhuji's. when we consider its their house then he will start talking to us.
sorry i went out of track, so seeing all this i think the best think someone can do in kaliguy is naam smaran and mansi.
please correct me if i am wrong

Jai Shri Krishna,
Dear vaishnavs,
I will tell you one prasang which happened with one Goswami Balak who discussed it with me.
Once he was invited to visit elderly lady in the hospital with request from her sons as she was in her final stages.
Goswami went there to meet her and told her to say Shri Krishna Sharanmama ( It is only 3 words note)
The old lady feeling the pain of death also coming said with difficuly these 19 words
I am sorry I cannot say that it is little too difficult for me at this stage in pain.
And in short time after that she expired.
Moral which Goswami Balak said if she would have done little Naam Seva and learnt importance of God's seva and known His miracles she could have easily said 3 important words along with Goswami which could have cured her pain instead she said useless 19 words just before expiring.
We can learn from this incident that we must do God's smaran everyday so we can remember Him at the time of death too.
There are few more prasangs as such but need your input before posting more.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
Naam Seva or Naam Smaran is a part of pushtimarg. Which we do the recite of Astakshar Mantras.
But now a days we find that in many of our pushtimargiya publications, before the publisher prints any book, asks for the naam seva at the bottom of the page in that book, or pustaka, just writing ur Jai Jai ShriGokulesh or Jai ShriKrishna. Is this correct?

Jai Shree Krishna
Very touching Prasang Vasantbhai, and the morale of the story is that Naam Seva is a continious process in Prabhu Samaran in Pushti Marga. We when constantly do naam seva, then this becomes habit which then becomes "vyasaan". Lets all train overselves to be in Vyasan of Naam Seva. So "antim gadi" of this "Bhotik dasha" becomes a faldayak avashtha. Even if that fragile lady had looked at Shree Vallabh balak as prabhu-swaroop and did mansi "Shree Krishna Sharanam mamah:", she would have importal exposition in shree Pushti Marga as pushta-jiva.
"vallah in jevi echcha"

Jai Shri Krishna,
Inaxibhen you are correct. Your explanations are well defined thanks.
It is mostly the last stages which usually counts the most.
Shri Mahaprabhuji has even told us to make your mind prepared for such last stage is to start seva/smaran at younger age so we can continue daily and remember God even at last stage.
