Guest guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 diksa-purascarya-vidhi apeksa na kare jihva-sparse a-candala sabare uddhare "One does not have to undergo initiation or execute the activities required before initiation. One simpy has to to vibrate the holy name with his lips. Thus eve a man in the lowest class (candala) can be delivered." PURPORT(excerpt):In other words, the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-manta is so powerful that it does not depend on official initiation, but if one is initiated and engages in pancaratra-vidhi (Deity worship), his Krsna consci- ousness will awaken very soon, and his identification with the material world will be vanquished.The more one is freed from material identification, the more one can realize that the spirit soul is qualitatively as good as the Supreme Soul.At such a time, when one is situated on the absolute platform,one can understand that the holy name of the Lord and the Lord Himself are identical. Cc Madhya 15.108 NOTE:These verses were spoken by Lord Caitanya to Ramanada Vasu and Satyaraja Khan after houring prasadam which was prepared by Raghava Pandita, and after glorifying the residents of Kulina-grama during the Ratha-yatra festival at Jaganath Puri.
