Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 TRANSLATION The Lord, being satisfied, instructed him about the object of life and the process for attaining it. He instructed him that the basic principle of success is to chant the holy name of the Lord [the Hare Krishna maha-mantra]. PURPORT The Krishna consciousness movement is based upon this instruction of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu that one must chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra regularly and according to the prescribed principles. We simply ask our Western students to chant at least sixteen rounds a day, but sometimes we find that they fail to chant even these sixteen rounds, and instead they bring many austere books and a worshiping method that diverts their attention in so many ways. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's cult is based upon the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra. Lord Caitanya first advised Tapana Misra to fix his mind on this chanting. We, the members of the Krishna consciousness movement, must strictly follow this advice of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. __ http://caitanyacaritamrta.com/adi/16/15/en1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
