==============================================================

Was just going thro' VishnuSahasraNama and found following imp.

Slokas:Thought to share with you.

 

madhura-madhuram etan maìgalaà mangälänäà

sakala-nigama-valli-sat-phalaà cit-svarüpam

sakåd api parigétaà çraddhayä helayä vä

bhåguvara nara-mätraà tärayet kåñëa-näma

 

"The holy name of Lord Krsna is the most auspicious of all auspicious

things, and the sweetest of all sweet things. It is completely spiritual,

withoug any touch of matter, and it is the transcendental fruit of the

creeper of all the Vedic literatures. If one chants the holy name of Lord

Kåñëa, even once, either with faith, or even in the spirit of mocking Him,

the holy name will deliver the chanter from the bondage of material

existance."

 

The sincere chanter of the holy name may sometimes commit offenses in the

course of his chanting. The remedial measure to become free from such

offenses is described in the Padma Purana:

 

géte nämäparadheçu

pramadena kathaïcana

sadäsaìkértayan näma

tad-ekaçaraëo bhavet

 

"If one may sometimes, because of foolishness or immaturity, commit offenses

to the holy name, then the remedy for such offenses is t continue one's

regular chanting of the holy name, and take shelter of Him with all

earnestness."

 

 

nämäparädha-yuktänäà

nämäny eva haranty agham

aviçränti-prayuktäni

täny evärtha-karäëi ca

 

"If one becomes determined, and continues his chanting of the holy name, and

does not give up the process of chanting, the holy name will remove all his

sins, and grant to him, the most valuable spiritual benefit.

 

Yrs,

Niraj.
