Guest guest Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 akrstih krta-cetasam su-manasam uccatanam camhasam acandalam amuka-loka-sulabha vasyas ca mukti-sriyah na diksam na ca sat-kriyam na ca purascaryam manag iksate mantro 'yam rasana-sprg eva phalati sri-krsna-namatmakah] TRANSLATION:"The holy name of Lord Krsna is an attractive feature for many saintly, liberal people.It is the annihilator of all sinful reactions and is so powerful that, save for the dumb who can not chant it, it is readily available to everyone, including the lowest type of man, the candala. The holy name of Krsna is the controller of the opulence of liberation, and it is identical with Krsna. When a person simply chants the holy name with his tongue, immediate effects are produced. Chanting the holy name does not depend on initiation, pious activities or the purascarya regulative princip- les generally observed before initiation. The holy name does not wait for any of these activities. It is self-sufficient." PURPORT:This verse is found in the Padayavali (29), an antholgy of verses compiled by Srila Rupa Goswami. Cc Madhya 15.110 (Note:antholgy means a choice collection of writings, songs, paintings etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
