God has appeared as His Name

 

Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!

 

krte yad dhyayato visnum

tretayam yajato makhaih

dvapara paricaryayam

kalau tad dhari-kirtanat

(Srimad Bhagavatam, 12.3.52)

 

" Whatever benefit human beings received in Satya-yuga by meditation, in Treta-yuga by sacrifice and in Dvapara-yuga by Deity worship, they can receive in Kali-yuga by the chanting of the Holy Name. "

 

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared to teach us:

 

harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam

kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir anyatha

(Brhan-naradiya Purana, 38.97)

 

" Harer nama harer nama harer nama. " Thrice it is said to give emphasis. This means, " Yes! You should do it! You should do it! You should do it! " Harinama! If anybody says you should perform meditation, the reply is, " No! Harinama! " By practicing pranayama, etc., " No! Harinama! " By oblations, " No! Harinama! " This verse says " No! Harinama! " thrice and " only Harinama, nothing else. " " Kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva. " There is no other way, no other way, no other way-thrice-in this Kali-yuga.

 

God has appeared as His Name. All strength has been given to His Name to rescue the fallen souls of this Kali-yuga. You have to accept the instructions of the Supreme Lord. Sri Krsna, in the mood Srimati Radharani, appeared as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and preached that by means of Sri Nama Saìkirtana, we can obtain Krsna-prema. We have been born into this Kali-yuga. Unlike the other prior yugas, Satya, Treta and Dvapara, there are three kinds of adharmas (a lack of tapah, saucam and daya) in this era. Only one dharma remains: satyam. Satya is the Holy Name. Yet, we can easily get Krsna in this Kali-yuga because the Lord has graced the fallen souls of this era and given them the easiest way.
