Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 etavan eva loke 'smin pumsam dharmah parah smrtah bhakti-yogo bhagavati tan-nama-grahanadibhih "Devotional service, beginning with the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, is the ultimate religious principle for the living entity in human society." PURPORT(excerpt):The Bhagavatam further says, sa vai pumsam paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhoksaje: the supreme religion is that which teaches its followers how to love the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is beyond the reach of experimental knowledge.Such a religious system begins with tan-nama-grahana, chanting of the holy name of the Lord(sravaham kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada -sevanam). After chanting the holy name of the Lord and dancing in ecstasy, one gradually sees the form of the Lord, the pastimes of the Lord and the transcendental qualities of the Lord. This way one fully undeerstands the situation of of the Personality of Godhead. Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.3.22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
