Swamijiraja`s reasons for chanting harekrsna

[krsnaraja 0]

Swamijiraja explained that there are three platforms-sensual, mental, and intellectual- and above them is the spiritual platform. The chanting of harekrsna is on the spiritual platform, and it is the best process for reviving one`s eternal, blissful consciousness.

Swamijiraja had come all the way from Vrndavana, survived the non-Krsna yoga society, waited all winter in obscurity in America, a nation which had no idea on chanting harekrsna. No "hare krsna" had come from Thoreau`s or Emerson`s appreciations, though they had pored over English translations of the Gita and Puranas. And no kirtana had come from Vivekananda`s famous speech on behalf of Hinduism at the World Parliament of Religion in Chicago in 1893. But Swamijiraja now have finally had krsna-bhakti going, flowing like the ganges to the sea, it could not stop. In his heart, Swamijiraja felt the infinite will of Caitanya running through his veins in delivering the fallen souls from maya, as he explained to his devotees the art of chanting harekrsna.
