always in praising me,And striving ever, firm in vows,Always attuned, and

reverent,They truely worship me with love. Because of My being their

extremely dear beloved object they praise Me, strive to attain Me and bow to Me

in reverance, without which they are unable to sustain their lives even for the

fraction of a moment, and so remembering My names, connotive of my special

attributes, they cry out My names, with horripilation all over the body and the

voice choked with intense delight - Sri Rama, Narayana, Krsna, Vasudeva etc.

thus engaged always in praising Me In reference to "remembering my names,

connotive of my special attributes" Sri Vaisnavas practice chanting Visnu

Sahasranama and offering arcana by reciting Lord's

different names. Sri Vaisnava say that, by chanting the different names the

mind is engaged more easily in remembering (smarana) the specific attributes of

the Lords names. Chanting Lord's various names certainly helps keep one's

concentration and focus. Of course Sri Vaisnavas also do mantra japa

(repetition of the same mantra) Adiyen dasanudasan
