  Pranam Dearest Devotee. Hare Krishna.

  May you receive transcendental blessings, grace and mercy

  from the God of Gods, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,

  Lord  Krishna, Who  is  Omniscient,  Insurmountable  and

  Self-manifest. Lord Krishna personally bestows upon all

  eternal entities their particular natures through the agency

  of His  Inconceivable potency.  I  offer  my  respectful 

  obeisances  unto Him.   By  following Vedic  ritualistic

  ceremonies or undergoing atonement, sinful men do not

  become as purified as by chanting once the Holy Name of

  Lord Hari. Although ritualistic atonement may free one

  from sinful  reactions, it  does not  awaken  devotional

  service, unlike the chanting of the Lord`s Names, which

  reminds one of  the Lord`s fame,  qualities,  attributes,

  pastimes and paraphernalia. The ritualistic ceremonies of

  atonement recommended in the religious scriptures are

  insufficient to cleanse the heart absolutely because after

  atonement  one`s mind  again  runs  towards  material

  activities. Consequently, for one who wants liberation

  from the fruitive  reactions  of material activities, the

  chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra or the glorification

  of  the name, fame  and  pastimes of  Lord Krishna  is

  recommended as the most perfect process of atonement

  because such chanting  eradicates the  dirt from  one`s

  heart completely. With love and best wishes, take care,

  bye.
