Truth is that one who chants the Divine Names of the Lord does not do so in vain

Nama Article 20th February 2009

 

Why should we chant the Lord's name repeatedly if it is true that the utterance of His Name just once shall burn up the sins?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Some chant the Lord's Name for extricating their sins. Some do it for the sheer joy experienced in the mere chanting.

 

There is absolutely no doubt that chanting of the Lord's Name shall remove sins.

 

However high the quality of the seeds be, its growth depends on the quality of the soil it has been sown in. Likewise, the greatness of the Divine Name is unique indeed but the result depends on the maturity of the one who chants it.

 

Yet, the truth is that one who chants Bhagavan Naama (the Name of the Lord) does not do so in vain.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
