“My Lord, O Supreme Personality of Godhead, in tour

holy name there is all good fortune for the living

entity, and therefore you have many names, such as

kR^iSNA and govinda, by which you expand yourself. You

have invested all your potencies in those names, and

there are no hard and fast rules for remembering them.

My dear Lord, although you bestow such mercy upon the

fallen, conditioned souls by liberally teaching your

holy names, I am so unfortunate that I commit offenses

while chanting the holy name, and therefore I do not

achieve attachment for chanting.” – shrI caitanya mahAprabhu
