- Brhan Naradiya Purana Harer nāma harer nāma Harer nāmaiva kevalam Kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva Nāsty eva gatir anyathā - Brhan Naradiya Purana [ For deliverance in this Kali Yuga, there is no other way, there is no other way, there is no other way, except chanting the holy names of the Lord.]

Guidelines for Chanting Sit straight when chanting on beads Chant each syllable aloud and clear Think only about Lord and His pastimes With attention, hear what you chant Never keep beads or bag to touch floor Keep the beads always inside chanting bag Do not take beads or bag to unclean places Beads & Bag should not go below the navel Avoid chanting the beads out of the bag Never touch beads with left hand Keep index finger out of the bag Never chant on the crown bead Chanting near Tulasi Devi is the best

O king, for those who have amassed very few pious activities, their faith in maha-prasada, in Sri Govinda, in the Holy Name and in the Vaisnava is never born. O brothers! This material body is a network of ignorance, and the senses are one's deadly enemies, for they throw the soul into the ocean of material sense enjoyment. Among the senses, the tongue is the most voracious and verily wicked; it is very difficult to conquer the tongue in this world. O brothers! Lord Krsna is very merciful-just to control the tongue He has given us the remnants of His own food! Now please eat these nectarean grains while singing the glories of Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha and Krsna, and in love call out "Caitanya! Nitai!"

Vâñchâ-kalpatarubhyas ca kripâ-sindhubhya eva ca Patitânâm pâvanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah

Hare Krishna!
