Chanting of the holy name does not depend on the initiation process

diksa-purascarya-vidhi apeksa na kare
jihva-sparse a-candala sabare uddhare

“One does not have to undergo initiation or execute the activities required before initiation. One simply has to vibrate the holy name with his lips. Thus even a man in the lowest class [candala] can be delivered.”

“To chant the holy name of the Lord, one need not depend upon other paraphernalia, for one can immediately get all the desired results of linking with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It may therefore be questioned why there is a necessity for initiation or further spiritual activities in devotional service for one who engages in the chanting of the holy name of the Lord. The answer is that although it is correct that one who fully engages in chanting the holy name need not depend upon the process of initiation, generally a devotee is addicted to many abominable material habits due to material contamination from his previous life. In order to get quick relief from all these contaminations, it is required that one engage in the worship of the Lord in the temple. The worship of the Deity in the temple is essential to reduce one’s restlessness due to the contaminations of conditioned life. Thus Narada, in his pancaratriki-vidhi, and other great sages have sometimes stressed that since every conditioned soul has a bodily concept of life aimed at sense enjoyment, to restrict this sense enjoyment the rules and regulations for worshiping the Deity in the temple are essential. Srila Rupa Gosvami has described that the holy name of the Lord can be chanted by liberated souls, but almost all the souls we have to initiate are conditioned. It is advised that one chant the holy name of the Lord without offenses and according to the regulative principles, yet due to their past bad habits they violate these rules and regulations. Thus the regulative principles for worship of the Deity are also simultaneously essential.”

krsna-nama haite pabe krsnera carana

“Simply by chanting the holy name of Krsna one can obtain freedom from material existence. Indeed, simply by chanting the Hare Krsna mantra one will be able to see the lotus feet of the Lord.”

“The offenseless chanting of the holy name does not depend on the initiation process. Although initiation may depend on purascarya or purascarana, the actual chanting of the holy name does not depend on purascarya-vidhi, or the regulative principles. If one chants the holy name even once without committing an offense, he attains all success. During the chanting of the holy name, the tongue must work. Simply by chanting the holy name, one is immediately delivered. The tongue is sevonmukha-jihva-it is controlled by service. One whose tongue is engaged in tasting material things and also talking about them cannot use the tongue for absolute realization.”

  1. The moment one starts hearing and accepting Srila Prabhupada’s vani he should know that Srila Prabhupada has initiated him .

    pamho agtACBSP, TRAYODASI KI JAI

    How is it possible that just by vibrating the own tongue through the sixteen syllables of the maha mantra Hare Krsna since SRILA PRABHUPADA’s physical presence that liberation hasn’t come yet for all the seniors disciples of our guru maharaj, this means it is not easy at all to catch that famous lava matra in suddha nama because of our continuos offences to the holy name but we keep chanting because that’s the only way to destroy our unlimited daily sins since our previous lives. Hope is the last thing to die especially in Krsna consciousness where so many miracles happen everyday around all the universes not just on the planet earth because of the unlimited glories of the holy name which are spreading the rays of the benediction moon through the SRI HARINAM SANKIRTANA.

    To give more importance to all the other things more then the holy it’s the trick of maha maya to make cheaters to waste another life by forgetting that our real business is to learn how to chant Hare Krsna properly is not with bcs gkg lng etc..to get the perfection by chanting the holy name one must learn by surrendering by meditating on the vani seva of SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA constantly and not on temporary gurus who are still progressing to the platform of uttama adhikari all respect for all the gaura bhakta vrinda but here we need to be practical we can’t become eternal by accepting a ordinary living entitiy as our guru as happen in f-iskcon nowadays.

    If we are really fed up of the cycle of birth and death we must do this great endeavour by keeping trying to chant the holy name purely this endeavour is worthy to be done. Of course the mind is very tricky and no one is special without becoming a yogi. First Krsna also advises Arjuna to be a yogi it’s better then the jnani and karmi lifestyle, we witnessed alot of devotees to depart from this world as bhogi just few been lucky enough to become krpa siddhi by catching that lava matra in suddha nama. SRILA RUPA GOSVAMI said that loulyam kalatvam greediness for nama gane sada hari chanting the kirtanya sada hari it’s the only price to get that not manifested abode beyond the factor time which is eternal only for the prem puman artho mahan sadhana siddhi serious followers of the chanting of the holy name as SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU advice to all the sadhakas of this special kali yuga to do, actually one must be sure that the factor time in this material world is always engaged in sevonmukha jhiva through eternal service otherwise we remain still trapped, therefore the holy name it’s our only salvation and not the guru hoaxers which are situated in the opposite side by giving more importance to the diksa vidana instead of the holy. That’s another aparadha which slows down the suddha nama platform of pure chanting, the only ticket is chanting day and night by selecting the mind like that because sleeping also can be dangerous sometime is not the case that is called tamasi also in ignorance, the six gosvami of vrindavan reduce their sleeping at 2 hours a day.

    Of course one must not imitate the six gosvami without getting that platform through perfect loulyam kalatvam otherwise one gets the side effect like that bhakta in north italy padova temple more ten 20 years ago, this bhakta started to imitate the six gosvami of vrindavan by chanting constantly without proper sleeping and eating but after one week dayanidhi prabhu who was the temple president of that time called his mother and told her to take her son back home because he gone mad. Gradually one must chant regulary until the sambandha jnana is completely established and that’s the special called to get out from kaitavo cheating by fake chanters of the holy Name
