I am not a qualified person to answer these questions but i can try to best of my knowledge of KC .
Ques1:- I heard if some one chants PURE holy name then and then only person is free from reactions but it is most difficult thing so i feel it is better to do atonement and practise K.C.
Ans1:- (from Nectar of Devotion)
The offenses against chanting the holy name are as follows:(out of 10, i am quoting only 3)
6) To give some interpretation on the holy name of the Lord.
7) To commit sinful activities on the strength of chanting the holy name of the Lord.
10) To not have complete faith in the chanting of the holy names and to maintain material attachments, even after understanding so many instructions on this matter.
The holy name of Lord can free us from all sins but commiting sins on the strength of chanting is a greater sin. No separate atonement is required if you are fully absorbed in Krishna's worship. We have already done so many sins in past lives that is why we are still struggling in this material world.
2) )as per scriptures there are some rituals which can atone sin is it right ?
Yes may be there are some rituals mentioned in scriptures. But the point is at first hand we should avoid commiting sins intentionally and secondly if it is done then we should really make sure that it does not happen again. Instead of becoming fearful of commiting sins one should involve in service of Lord so that there is no scope of incurring sins. No need of any Karma-Kanda.
3) Ans- it is similar to ans 2 - Chanting Mahamantra is the biggest Yajna(sacrifice). yes even devotees have to bear the results of past karmas. But definitely devotees take them as test of their bhakti and their faith gets stronger and stronger.
4) if someone kills person what he should do ? is it ok not to submit himself to government and practise devotinal service ?
Ans- If i ask what will you do ?:) Taking law in hand is not an act of any devotee indeed unless its cause is justified. Ignorance of law is no excuse. As per my thinking definitely that person should surrendar before Law. In past times when a thief used to steal then at that time Kings used to order to cut their hands. It may sound barbaric but that was the law of ancient India. so that thief has not to suffer in hells..
5) if someone kills animal cow what he should do ? is it ok not to submit himself to government and practise devotinal service ? because reaction will happen anyway
Ans:- Cow's sanskrit name is 'Aghnaya' which means not to be killed. Scriptures tell Cow is so sacred and Krishna love cows so much that He has got a name 'Govindam'. I think there is no jail for killing Cows(except Karnataka in India). I read long back that if somebody kills a cow then that person has to take at least as many as births in helllish conditions as the number of hair on cows body. Now you can definitely imagine how great sin it is. I am not sure what is the paschtaap for this .. Chanting chanting and chanting could be the only solution :)
6) if someone kills animal chicken what he should do ? is it ok not to submit himself to government and practise devotinal service ? does krishna differentiate between murder of chicken and cow or other animals ?
Ans:- Vaishnava's do not kill even a small ant intentionally. No court will punish for killing a chicken(probably Hen might attack if they are more powerful than that person :) ). Krishna never differntiates between his children but at the same time He does not break the laws of His creation. A soul is also residing in the body of the chicken but that soul has got that body according to its past karmas. Yes there is a differnce between less important animals and more imp animals like cows. Caution is not to kill unnecessarily any living entitiy to get spiritually advance.
Rest of the questions will also have similar answers. The only question is why to do all these crimes at first hand.. why not utilize this life for gaining Krishna Counciousness..
Hari bol
please pray i will progress in K.C.
1.Chanting name purely is easy.Just chant and hear.That's all.Very soon u come 2 pure stage.No need 4 atonement.
2.Yes.It is right.
3.There is no need.By chanting we atone.
For rest question answer is.Atonement means a person regrets 2 do such act and sincerely repents.He promises never 2 repeat it.A person who repents will surely surrender 2 government feeling himself worthy of punishment.If not it means he is not sincere.Meaning cheating.Chanting and sinful activity means impure chanting.So,it is not ok 2 hide but repent and surrender 2 God and give self 4 punishment.By such repenting and chanting He is freed from sinful reaction.
