However,the holy name and objects connected with Lord Sri Krishna are so powerful that they can also deliver conditioned souls as a special mercy. One should now avoid taking initiation if the oppurtunity arises due to these other special cases. However, if one somehow fails to get initiated in spite of ones desires and leaves the body thinking of Lord Sri Krishna or being connected with the Lord's Holy Name, Dhama, devotees, Ganges, etc. then one may also be delivered. I hope this finds you blissful and healthy in Krishna consciousness. Your well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
