MAHA MANTRA is YUGA DHARMA

[Guest guest]

"The simple process of offenselessly chanting and hearing the holy name

of the Lord will gradually promote one very soon to the stage of eman-

cipation. There are three stages in chanting the holy name of the Lord.

The first stage is the offensive chanting of the holy name, and the

second is the reflective stage of chanting the holy name. The third

stage is the offenseless chanting of the holy name of the Lord. In the

second stage only, the stage of reflection, between the offensive and

offenseless stages, one automatically attains the stage of emancipation.

And in the offenseless stage,one actually enters into the kingdom of

God, although physicallyhe may apparently be within the material world."

 

Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.2.30 purport (excerpt)

(Note: emancipation means the act of setting free from bondage or disa-

bility of any kind/ the state of being free)
