My offense would be in the fact that I am not initiated myself. How could I be advising you to do something that I haven't done myself?
Yes I too am lost and searching for my Guru Mahararaj who will order me, through who's grace will be able to distribute Love for Krishna through Harinam Nagar Sankirtana.
So are Vishnu Sahasranam Krishna's names. However,
chanting 1 time "Rama" equal chanting Vishnu Sahasranam (1000 Names).
Chanting the Name Krishna equals 3 time chanting the Name Rama (Source:Haridas Takore) & Srimad Bhagavatam 1.19.6 purport by Srila Prabhupada
As you can see, chanting any Names of Krishna is NOT equal.
There are primary names of Krishna like Krishna, Govinda, Gopala
There are secondary names like Vishvam (universe), and several names in Vishnu Sahasranam, and millions of other Names like Allah(All Merciful), Yaveh or Jahova(All Powerful), etc (Yes Prabhupada said the "Names may be different, but God is ONE"
That is why we all need a Diksha Guru, who can guide one properly. I know that you are against picking the most popular Guru, you can always find a guru who is not so popular like Guru Maharaj of Bhakti Siddanta Saraswati.
Hope I did not offend you. Hare Krishna.
Hare Krishna mataji,
I am sorry but i think you have misunderstood me. To me there is no harm in chanting Krishna's names in any manner. This mantra as told in original post is given by Sripad Vallabhacharya who is not different from Lord MahaVishnu. I feel it is equally potent. I just wanted to make a point that in our Brahma Madhava Gaudiya sampardaya Mahaprabhu has asked us to chant Hare krishna mahamantra so we should stick to His orders. It is always better to stick to orders than wandering here and there. Krishna has countless attributes and names but since our dearmost lord, most merciful Sri Chaitnaya Mahaprabhu has recommended this mantra and by fortune we are associated with this sampardaya so we should chant Mahamantra with full faith.
Otherwise there is no harm in chanting Krishna's Naam mantras anytime , anywhere .

Ok I will use "mental concoctions" instead
for Namaparadhah, I will use "commit offense against the Holy Names of Krishna".
Namaparadh is serious stuff. Most often ignored by individuals taking on Krishna Consciousness, senior devotees including.
It is hardly amusing.
Jai Shri Krishna..
Seriously!!.. who said Krishna's Bhaktas cant amuse?
Yes Japa can take away negatives due to association with Krishna, because the Name Krishna and Lord Krishna are one and the same.
Sankirtana, Bhajana all have the same power because you are associating with the Lord.
Kindly forgive me if it offended you, my deleting the paragraph.
Hare Krishna,
Krishna has countless names with equal potencies in them but Krishna is the primary name of the Lord. In Hare Krishna Mahamantra 'Hare' represents internal energy of the Lord i.e. Srimati Radha Rani and in this mantra 'Hare' is replaced by 'Radhe'. Sripad Vallabhacharya is an incarnation of MahaVishnu and in our Gaudiya Vaishnava sampardaya Lord Chaitnaya himself is Krishna. Both spreading holy names of Lord in west and east directions respectively.
Both may have equal potencies but since Sri Chaitnaya Mahaprabhu has recommended Hare Krishna Mahamantra for us, we chant this mantra. When Krishna says something to do then one should not doubt :).

I agree with Amit Kapoor Prabhu.
Dont speculate. Just follow in the foot steps of our acharyas.
