Sastric quotes for superiority for loud chanting at last found!

[Guest guest]

Very nice quotations! I realy needed them since I organize the harinams

in our temple

 

>(1)

>japato hari n€m€ni sth€ne ata-gun€dhikah

>€tm€nam ca pun€ty-uccair-japan rotrn-pun€ti ca

>

>(Sri Naradiya, Prahlada-vakya)

>

>Compared to that person who is attached to chanting japa, the person who

>performs loud chanting of the holy name of Sri Hari is one hundred times

>better. This is because the person who chants japa purifies himself, whereas

>the person who chants the holy name loudly in kirtana purifies himself, all

>those who are with him, and everyone else who hear the holy vibration.

>

>(2)

>pau-paki-k…˜a-€di balite n€ p€re

>unile se harin€ma t€'ra saba tare

>japile se kŠa-n€ma €pani se tare

>ucca-sa‰k…rtane para-upak€re kare

>ata eva ucca kari'kirtana karile

>ata-guna phala haya sarva-€stre bole

>

>(Caitanya Bhagavata Adi 11.275-277)

>

>The animals, birds, and insects cannot chant the holy name, but by hearing

>the holy name chanted they can benefit. Chanting the japa of the holy name

>of Krsna purifies oneself, but the loud sankirtana of the holy name of

>Krsnabenefits all living beings. Therefore, loudly chant the holy name of

>Krsna in kirtana, and you will get one hundred times the benefit of chanting

>japa. This is the verdict of all the sastras.

 

BUT...

1. Could you send it without diacritics, please.

2. rotrn-pun€ti - is this correct?

 

Thanks! Your humble servant, Radha Vinoda dasa.
