Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 "There are three stages in chanting the holy name of the Lord—the offensive stage, the stage of lessening offenses, and the pure stage. When a neophyte takes to the chanting of the Hare KŠa mantra, he generally commits many offenses. There are ten basic offenses, and if the devotee avoids these, he can glimpse the next stage, which is situated between offensive chanting and pure chanting. When one attains the pure stage, he is immediately liberated. This is called bhava-mah€-d€v€gni-nirv€panam. As soon as one is liberated from the blazing fire of material existence, he can relish the taste of transcendental life."
