Guest guest Posted December 18, 1999 Report Share Posted December 18, 1999 Also chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra is more powerful than rememberance or smaranam according to the Vaisnava Cintamani, Vaisnava Ke & Cc: >From Vaisnava Cintamani aghaccita smaraŠam viŠor bahv€y€sena s€dhyate otha spandana m€treŠa k…rtanstu tato varam The samarana (rememberance) of Lord Visnu which destroys all sins is accomplished with great exertion & effort but His kirtana (chanting His Holy Name) is accomplished just my movement of one's lips. Hence chanting is better than rememberance. >From Vaisnava Ke by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta sarasvati Thakura r… dayitad€sa, k…rtanate €a, kara uccaiƒ svare harin€ma-rava k…rtana-prabh€ve, smaraŠa svabh€ve se k€le bhajana-nirjana sambhava ....My dear mind, now let us loudly chant the holy names of so we can ontinuously remain in the ocean of transcendental nectar. The congregational chanting of the holy names awakens the transcendental quality of natural spontaneous loving remembrance of Lord (including the Lord's form, qualities and pastimes)... >From Cc Antya 4.70-71 bhajanera madhye srestha nava-vidha bhakti `krsna-prema', `krsna' dite dhare maha-sakti "Among the ways of executing devotional service, the nine prescribed methods are the best, for these processes have great potency to deliver Krsna and ecstatic love for Him. tara madhye sarva-srestha nama-sankirtana niraparadhe nama laile paya prema-dhana "Of the nine processes of devotional service, the most important is to always chant the holy name of the Lord. If one does so, avoiding the ten kinds of offenses, one very easily obtains the most valuable love of Godhead."
