Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 The practice of devotional service means so that we may be so accustomed to chanting Hare Krsna mantra that at the time of death we may remember it. Not like parrot. The parrot also imitates chanting. But when the cat catches, he does not say, "Hare Krsna." He says (imitates parrot sound), "kanh, kanh." So not that kind of... We should be accustomed to chant Hare Krsna that whenever the death point is there, he would chant Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna. Then that is success. >>> Ref.
