All the meat I ate, sex I had, drugs I took & all the time I gambled away..forgiven??

[krsna]

Simply by taking shelter of chanting the Holy Names and avoiding the 10 offenses under the guidance of a pure Vaisnava devotee of the Lord.

 

Is that really all I need to do in order to be completely forgiven in this life of all the papa(sin) committed and catapulted to a pure life of prema bhakti???

Think of Valmiki, Prahlad, Ajmala, Jagi and Madhai.

How did Prahlada Maharaja make his list? He was always a pure devotee of the Lord. One of the 12 Mahajanas.

[Guest guest]

in his previous life, he was a man of very evil conduct.

What are the 10 offenses?

 

Seems like every religion has 10 rules..

Christianity and Judaism the 10 commandments (Islam too?)

Buddhism has the 10 unskillfull actions..

 

now I find 10 offenses in Hinduism.. Interesting to see that they go by tens.

[Guest guest]

evil conduct in one life, a Mahajana in the next?

 

I didn't know this. Can you give me details please? Who was he and how did he change?
