Srila Prabhupada has told people to chant any bona fide name of God that they have faith in. If they chant the Maha-mantra it is better as it is specifically recommended for the Age of Kali. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
