There is a big differece between accidental sins and purposeful sins. We are all chanting, are you suggesting that we stop because it may nullify our sins? OR that we should not encourage the public to chant because they might chant offensively. the potency of the Holy name is the only way to nulllify our sins in Kali Yuga.
