Pranam My Dearest Agus Prabhu. Hare Krishna.

May you be blessed with full surrender at the Lotus

Feet of the All-pervading Personality of Godhead,

Lord Krishna, Who is the Absolute Truth and the

Primeval cause of all the causes of the creation,

sustenance and destruction of the manifested

universes. Simply by chanting His Holy Name one

is purified from the six enemies, lust, anger, greed,

pride, illusion and envy. If these six enemies take

control of the mind, a person becomes sinful. To

desire those things that are necessary for minimal

daily existence is not lust, but to aspire for more

than your daily requirement is called lust. Following

this, lust puts one into various difficulties. If one`s

desires are not fulfilled, anger results. From anger

comes quarrelling, harsh words, fighting, murder,

and all sorts of sinful actions. Greed overtakes one

by degrees, until one commits sinful activity to fulfil

it. Pride is the tendency to think of oneself as great.

One attains gentle behaviour when one begins to

think of oneself as very insignificant. If one thinks of

oneself as a servant of Lord Krishna, pride will not

possess one. Illusion (delusion and infatuation)

indicates ignorance and is always bad. Not to accept

another person`s elevated position is called envy.

When one is overcome by any one of these six

enemies, one is afflicted with citta-vibhrama (mental

illusion). Citta-vibhrama then gives birth to atheism.

With love and best wishes, take care bye.

Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

May you be blessed with full surrender at the Lotus

Feet of the God of Gods, the Supreme Controller, the

Original Bhagavan, the Source of innumerable Vaikuntha

planets as well as innumerable Incarnations, Lord Krishna,

Whose Holy Name is the essence of the Vedas, and far

more superior to it. The sound om is one of Lord Krishna`s

names. The Vedas have emanated from this seed sound

om which was spoken first by Lord Brahma. One who

continuously chant His Holy Name is considered to have

mastered the four Vedas. Discrepancies that arise while

pronouncing Vedic hymns and following regulative

principles of ritualistic activities in regard to time, place

and paraphernalia are all rectified by chanting His Holy

Name, and thus one experiences unlimited joy. Chanting

His Holy Name is the most important of all spiritual

activities, so if one takes shelter of His Holy Name, one

will automatically achieve perfection in all other devotional

endeavours. Shraddha (faith) is the root of everyone`s

spiritual life. Some persons do not get results from chanting

His Holy Name due to their lack of faith. The Holy Name is

Lord Krishna, residing in everyone`s heart as the Paramatma

and He offers success in chanting proportionate to one`s

faith. Persons who does not have sufficient faith in His Holy

Name or the chanting process, cannot have spiritual success.

Instead they slide down the path of destruction, committing

offences against His Holy Name. With love and best wishes,

take care, bye.
