Why do we chant?

[Guest guest]

"Chanting Krsna's sweet name purifies the heart; sanctifies and steadies the

mind; destroys the six enemies [lust, anger, greed, envy, illusion,

madness]; stops birth and death; dissolves sins; scorches samskaras;

annihilates attachment; induces detachment; uproots desires; empowers one;

makes one fearless; removes illusion; bestows supreme peace; delivers prema;

reveals the Lord and His dhama; shows one's svarupa; showers bhakti-rasa;

and engages one in his nitya seva for the pleasure of Radha-Syama."
