Hare Krsna!
In the 'The Laws of Nature: An Infallible Justice' , Srila Prabhupada say that:
'Because we have had so many lives in this material world, we are suffering under heaps of sinful reactions. But as soon as you surrender to Krsna, He immediately takes care of you and nullifies all your sinful reactions. Krsna says, "Don't hesitate." Don't think, "Oh, I have committed so many sins. How can Krsna save me?" No. Krsna is all-powerful. He can save you. Your duty is to surrender to Him and without any reservation dedicate your life to His service. Then Krsna will save you without a doubt. '
Does it mean that after one surrenders and then, by mistake or knowingly does sin, will Krishna still absolve his sin?

if knowingly it is the 7th offense to the Holy Names which destroys our devotional life.
If accidentally also we will suffer somehow but Krishna will take care of that sin. But not KNOWINGLY!
Hare Krsna!
Please elaborate Mata jee. Let us say that I am being wrong to a person when I was not chanting. Then I started chanting. Now I am on the right path.
However I do wrong to a person after I started chanting, even though people stopped me(same or different, does not matter, I guess). Will I be saved by Krsna Naam, if done knowingly?
"God is the center of everything. When we truly, honestly strive to make him the goal of our life, God will be pleased with our endeavor even if we fail. He will give us all help, and even in the difficulties we endure in the process, He will bring us closer and closer to Him." HH RNS
All glories to Srila Prabhupada...........
Prabhu, yes you are right. After we completely surrenders unto the lotus feet of Krishna, all our sins are nullified by Him. thats why He says in srimad Bhagwad geeta , "Aham twam sarva papebhyo mokshyishyami ma shuchah" ,but the condition for that is we have to completely surrender.
Even if a person chants holy name of Krishna ,even unknowingly i.e. NAMABHAS, that person becomes dear to Krishna. Example is of Ajamila . who was a worst sinner. Krishna saved Him from going to Hell. But he was not sent to Vaikuntha immediately. He then lived a krishna conscious life for 12 years and after becoming pure he reached to Vaikuntha.
So we must be a careful devotee following all regulative principles as per directions of scriptures and spiritual master.
But Bhakti or devotional service must not be done for nullifying our sins but our aim must only be to please Krishna.
if we do Bhakti for nullifying our sins ,it would be a Namaparadh.i.e. Offence for Holy name.
