Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Wanted to hear again and again that this chanting of the Holy Names are real and topmost service in this age.

Sometimes we start to think that it is not correct, that there might some other, better services which please the Lord. 

Please be kind and give some knowledge, links to the lectures, to the verses in books...which confirm that the simple chanting pleases Krishna!

How is it possible?

Thank You!

Your servant, bhaktin maral

  • Chanting is the cure all
    The Supreme "Panacea'
    While awakening our morale
    It softens our heart undoing the effects of the otherwise continuously-accuring tramas & karma's. Krishna's-Conchusness naturally is in & of it's presence in our own proximmaty,
    on-goingly energetically inlivining do to this tention releasing propertys! proliferation of the Sound vibrations-( perfectly ) by it being of the nature "the GreaterGood alwas-iT- willNot, always seem to you to beEnoughf of serm to producing continuously profoundly working within the realm *our personal awareness! However, dynamic energy canseldom be throated or valued as ineffective. I think Krishna speeking frequently of yogic prowess in the Gita is/indicates an instruction that to be of optimum awairness we should* be combining to two Yoga for it's conchusness-awakening propertys & This Mantra for it's cleansing & transformative results.
    Atomic energies always cause effects 100% of the time, & the/our mercy benediction is it's simple enough to create by sitting-Properly-Chanting-Properly & creating someSound enen-similar to, the Name of Hare Krishna, or Rama. How nice is that. Animals have good reasion to fear you/we do noT, One should let it /fer-go release that which is in KRISHNA'S Nature is one is' attempting to consummate with with them! ? Especially if that other person is God the Highest*
  • The actual greatness in the results of chant lyes in the results, the result of the experiencel revelation that we need not be alone, that Krishna can be with us fully & conchusly & energetically if we simply call upon Him.
  • Recap*
    Because Chanting the Names of Hare Krishna & Rama are The Most Magnanimous they are the most Mimerable moving in all & any realm to spred the truth of the energetic Valler of God Himself
    IN-REAL-TIME'
    It"s brightness & might
    Revealing our
    only greatis potentials
    In my opinion
    & understanding.;
  • Yes yes just come out & say it!
    GoD & His Names are identical, inexzostable & veary capable of transcending as time & cercomstanses & situations evolve & chang in perfect balance & sankranistic grace, constatuting full & complete & a formost position of awareness for the chanter's mind & intelligence.
    Such an ability is a very unique feature (exclusive) to (bhakti yoga /or chanting.) called Transcendent (cappabal of harmonyus evolution).
    Not even Krishna knows how great He himself is, So inherently Hi's names have the same qualitys of Limitlessness & -compatibility, together expansion & growth are the afterthought i.e. withOut any spichell arrangements and chonchus efforts it's purifying & inlivining influences multiply seamlessly within ones environment. Spontaneisly the chanter's mind & intelligence inherits a topmost place in their irrespective- collective awareness strattums. In minets not hour's or days without any saver austerity.
    & the vibrational karma of chanting them is all-natural and benafishal for all of creation at large that is why it's a service beyond Bhakti but for all the universe! Amen! ?
  • Hare Krishna, Hare Rama

    I know a little bit about theories. [ I am not even sure if I need them: I am not a scholar or priest...] So all I can do on the matter is to share a  simple opinion, without any fence words [ fence words could be literally a fence for one's soul]. So chanting mantras is a manifestation of our faith. By doing this willingly, we are creating vibrations in our chest, next to our heart, where resides our soul, who is a parcel of The Universal soul.  Logically the chanting mantras is he right way to put our soul and body  on the right track.  

    sincerely your friend 

  • When one sacrifice the life and voluntarily suffers because of suffering of the others living beings, such benevolent activities consider to be highest method of adoring and pleasing the Lord who reside inside the hearts of everyone. 

    Anyway, the service to Him or His devotees pleases the Lord, but one should clearly understand that such service is usually not  accepted if one is offensive, unfaithful, materialistic, or proud stonehearted. 

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Besides what was said, vaishnavas should always have on mind: 

    1. That only purely chanting of Lords names can attract the Lord, and  in this way, starting to wake transcendental love for Him.

    2. That one can wake the transcendental love for Lord by faithfully listening about Him, but only from the lips of His pure devotees.

    Hare krishna dear mtaji, humble obeisances.

    As already said by rakesh prabhu, I have got a link which gives a bit more explanation about what rakesh prabhu said. Please follow the link to view the content http://sriprahlada.com/latest-news/why-maha-mantra-kirtan

    The sixteen syllable Hare Krishna mahamantra is a plea to the internal potency  (Hare) of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (Krishna, Rama) - namely to Srimati  Radharani, to be engaged in the service of Krishna. The Upanisads mention this  mahamantra as the means of perfection especially in this age of Kali.

    Singing devotional songs or chanting Vedic hymns are also forms of devotional  service. However, the mahamantra has been empowered by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who  is non-different from Sri Krishna and is the yuga avatar, and is therefore  considered to be most potent.

    There is even a nice article "Kali Yuga, The Problems and the Solution" http://krishna.org/kali-yuga-the-problems-and-the-solution/ The article also highlights how chanting is the only way to acheive the Supreme in this age.

    Hopr this provides a little help.

    Your humble servant
