I believe God. Why, then, is it necessary to recite His name?

There are many who, whether from mental laziness or from having fallen into a bad habit, believe that God is and will help us unasked.

 

Why, then, is it necessary to recite His name?

 

It is true that if God is, He is irrespective of our belief.

 

But realization of God is infinitely more than mere belief. That can come only by constant practice. This is true of all science. How much more true of the science of all sciences!

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

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