approved form of religion for kali yuga...

[Guest guest]

Rather than inventing one’s own religious process, one

should accept the approved method of religion for this

age—hari-nama-sankirtana:

 

[sarvabhauma Bhatacharya to King Prataparudra]:

Sarvabhauma Bhatacharya replied, “This sweet

transcendental sound is a special creation of the Lord

known as prema-sankirtana, congregational chanting in

love of Godhead. In this age of Kali, Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu has descended to preach the religion of

Krsna consciousness. Therefore the chanting of the

holy names of Lord Krsna is the religious principle

for this age. Anyone who worships Lord Caitanya

Mahaprabhu by congregational chanting should be

understood to be very intelligent. One who does not do

so must be considered a victim of this age and bereft

of all intelligence.”

 

Rascals propose that anyone can invent his own

religious process, and this proposition is condemned

herein. If one actually wants to become religious, he

must take up the chanting of the Hare Krsna

rnaha-mantra.… Dharma, or religion, cannot be

manufactured by a human being. Religion is the law or

code of the Lord.… Dharma refers to the science of

bhakti-yoga, which begins by the novice’s chanting the

holy name of the Lord (tan-nama-grahanadibhih).

 

In this age of Kali it is recommended in

Caitanya-caritamrta, kali-kale

dharma—krsna-näma-sankirtana. In the age of Kali the

chanting of the holy name of the Lord is the method of

religion approved by all Vedic scriptures.

 

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta Madhya-lila 11.97–99
