Even improper chanting of the holy name yields beneficial results!
\nEven if one chants the holy name imperfectly, he still easily attains liberation:
\n[A disciple of Prakasananda Sarasvati to an assembly of disciples]: \u201cIn this age of Kali, one cannot attain liberation without taking to the devotional service of the Lord. In this age, even if one does not chant the holy name of Krsna perfectly, he still attains liberation very easily.\u201d
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Madhya lila 25.30
\nEven imperfectly uttered, the holy name frees one from sin:
\n[Haridasa thakura to Lord Caitanya]: Namacarya Haridasa thakura continued, \u201clf one offenselessly utters the holy name even imperfectly, one can be freed from all the results of sinful life.\u201d
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Antya lila 3.61
\nIn any condition or for any reason, if one chants the holy name of the Lord, he is freed from all sins:
\n[Sukadeva Gosvami to King Pariksit]: Even if he be distressed or degraded, any person who chants the holy name of the Lord, having heard it from a bona tide spiritual master, is immediately purified. Even if he chants the Lord\u2019s name jokingly or by chance, he and anyone who hears him are freed from all sins.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 5.25.11
\nEven chanting that is indirect, frivolous, neglectful (etc.), frees one from sin:
\n[The Visnudutas to the Yamadutas]: One who chants the holy name of the Lord is immediately freed from the reactions of unlimited sins, even if he chants indirectly [to indicate something else], jokingly, for musical entertainment, or even neglectfully. This is accepted by all the learned scholars of the scriptures.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 6.2.14
\nConditions of effectiveness of partial or improper uttering of the holy name:
\n[Haridasa thakura to Lord Caitanya]: \u201cThe letters of the holy name have so much spiritual potency that they act even when uttered improperly.\u201d
\nSrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati thakura states that the word vyavahita (\u201cimproperly uttered\u201d) is not used here to refer to the mundane vibration of the letters of the alphabet. Such negligent utterance for the sense gratification of materialistic persons is not a vibration of transcendental sound. Utterance of the holy name while one engages in sense gratification is an impediment on the path toward achieving ecstatic love for Krsna. On the other hand, if one who is eager for devotional service utters the holy name even partially or improperly, the holy name, who is identical with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, exhibits its spiritual potency because of that person\u2019s offenseless utterance. Thus one is relieved from all unwanted practices, and one gradually awakens his dormant love for Krsna.
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Antya lila 3.59
\nWhether vibrated properly or improperly, the holy name will liberate the chanter providing it is not done to facilitate sinning:
\n\u201c\u2018If a devotee once utters the holy name of the Lord, or if it penetrates his mind or enters his ear, which is the channel of aural reception, that holy name will certainly deliver him from material bondage, whether vibrated properly or improperly, with correct or incorrect grammar, and properly joined or vibrated in separate parts. O brahmana, the potency of the holy name is therefore certainly great. However, if one uses the vibration of the holy name for the benefit of the material body, for material wealth and followers, or under the influence of greed or atheism\u2212in other words, if one utters the name with offenses\u2212such chanting will not produce the desired result very soon. Therefore one should diligently avoid offenses in chanting the holy name of the Lord.\u2019\u201d
\nThis verse from the Padma Purana is included in the Hari\u2212bhakti\u2212vilasa (11.527) by Sanatana Gosvami.
\nTherein Srila Sanatana Gosvami gives the following explanation:
\nsarvebhyah papebhyo ‘paradhebhyas
\nca samsarad apy uddharayaty
\neveti satyam eva; kintu nama\u2212sevanasya
\nmukhyam yat phalam, tan
\nna sadyah sampadyate. tatha
\ndeha\u2212bharanady\u2212artham api nama
\nsevanena mukhyam phalam
\nasu na sidhyatity aha\u2212tac ced iti.
\nThe holy name has so much spiritual potency that it can deliver one from all sinful reactions and material entanglements, but utterance of the holy name will not be very soon fruitful if done to facilitate sinning.
\ntan nama ced yadi dehadi\u2212madhye
\nniksiptam\u2212 deha\u2212 bharanady\u2212artham eva
\nvinyastam, tadapi phala\u2212janakam na bhavati kim?
\napi tu bhavaty eva, kintv atreha
\nloke sighram na bhavati,
\nkintu vilambenaiva bhavatity arthah.
\nThe holy name is so powerful that it must act, but when one utters the holy name with offenses, its action will be delayed, not immediate, although in favorable circumstances the holy names of the Lord act very quickly.
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Antya lila 3.60
\nEven unconscious, unintentional, Or accidental chanting is effective
\nEven unconscious chanting of the holy name liberates one from birth and death:
\n[The sages at Naimisaranya to Suta Gosvami]: Living beings who are entangled in the complicated meshes of birth and death can be freed immediately by even unconsciously chanting the holy name of Krsna, which is feared by fear personified.
\nThe transcendental name of Krsna, even though uttered unconsciously or by force of circumstances, can help one obtain freedom from the hurdle of birth and death.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.16
\nEven if one chants the holy name of the Lord unintentionally, he is fully purified:
\n[Sukadeva Gosvami to King Pariksit]: That old man Ajamila had ten sons, of whom the youngest was a baby named Narayana. Since Narayana was the youngest of all the sons, he was naturally very dear to both his father and his mother. Because of the child\u2019s broken language and awkward movements, old Ajamila was very much attached to him. He always took care of the child and enjoyed the child\u2019s activities. When Ajamila chewed food and ate it, he called the child to chew and eat, and when he drank he called the child to drink also. Always engaged in taking care of the child and calling his name, Narayana, Ajamila could not understand that his own time was now exhausted and that death was upon him. When the time of death arrived for the foolish Ajamila, he began thinking exclusively of his son Narayana. Ajamila then saw three awkward persons, with deformed bodily features, fierce, twisted faces, and hair standing erect on their bodies. With ropes in their hands, they had come to take him away to the abode of Yamaraja. When he saw them he was extremely bewildered, and because of attachment to his child, who was playing a short distance away, Ajamila began to call him loudly by his name. Thus with tears in his eyes he somehow or other chanted the holy name Narayana. My dear King, the order carriers of Visnu, the Visnudutas, immediately arrived when they heard the holy name of their master from the mouth of the dying Ajamila, who had certainly chanted without offense because he had chanted in complete anxiety.
\nSince the old man was very attached to the child, he enjoyed the child\u2019s activities, and because the child\u2019s name was Narayana, the old man always chanted the holy name of Narayana. Although he was referring to the small child and not to the original Narayana, the name of Narayana is so powerful that even by chanting his son\u2019s name he was becoming purified (harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam [Adi 17.21]). Srila Rupa Gosvami has therefore declared that if one\u2019s mind is somehow or other attracted by the holy name of Krsna (tasmat kenapy upayena manah krsne nivesayet), one is on the path of liberation. It is customary in Hindu society for parents to give their children names like Krsnadasa, Govinda dasa, Narayana dasa and Vrndavana and get the chance to be purified\u2026
\nThe Supreme Personality of Godhead is kind to the conditioned soul. Although this man completely forgot Narayana, he was calling his child, saying, \u201cNarayana, please come eat this food. Narayana, please come drink this milk.\u201d Somehow or other, therefore, he was attached to the name Narayana. This is called ajnata\u2212sukrti. Although calling for his son, he was unknowingly chanting the name of Narayana, and the holy name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is so transcendentally powerful that his chanting was being counted and recorded\u2026 Somehow or other, Ajamila consciously or unconsciously chanted the name of Narayana at the time of death (ante narayana\u2212smrtih), and therefore he became all\u2212perfect simply by concentrating his mind on the name of Narayana.
\nIt may also be concluded that Ajamila, who was the son of a brahmana, was accustomed to worshiping Narayana in his youth because in every brahmana\u2019s house there is worship of the narayana\u2212sila. This system is still present in India; in a rigid brahmana\u2019s house, there is narayana\u2212seva, worship of Narayana. Therefore, although the contaminated Ajamila was calling for his son, by concentrating his mind on the holy name of Narayana he remembered the Narayana he had very faithfully worshiped in his youth.
\nIn this regard Srila Sridhara Svami expressed his verdict as follows:
\netac ca tad\u2212upalalanadi\u2212sri\u2212narayana\u2212
\nnamoccarana\u2212mahatmyena tad\u2212bhaktir evabhud
\niti siddhantopayogitvenapi drastavyam.
\n\u201cAccording to the bhakti\u2212siddhanta, it is to be analyzed that because Ajamila constantly chanted his son\u2019s name, Narayana, he was elevated to the platform of bhakti, although he did not know it.\u201d Similarly, Srila Viraraghava Acarya gives this opinion:
\nevam vartamanah sa dvijo mrtyu\u2212kale
\nupasthite satyajno narayanakhye putra
\neva matim cakara matim asaktam akarod ity arthah.
\n\u201cAlthough at the time of death he was chanting the name of his son, he nevertheless concentrated his mind upon the holy name of Narayana.\u201d Srila Vijayadhvaja Tirtha gives a similar opinion:
\nmrtyu\u2212kale deha\u2212viyoga\u2212
\nlaksana\u2212kale mrtyoh sarva\u2212dosa
\n\u2212papaharasya harer anugrahat kale
\ndatta\u2212jnana\u2212laksane upasthite
\nhrdi prakasite tanaye purna\u2212jnane
\nbale panca\u2212varsa\u2212kalpe
\npradesamatre narayanahvaye
\nmurti\u2212visese matim smarana
\n\u2212samartham cittam cakara
\nbhaktyasmarad ity arthah.
\nDirectly or indirectly, Ajamila factually remembered Narayana at the time of death (ante narayana\u2212smrtih)\u2026
\nA person who performs sinful activities performs them with his body, mind and words. Therefore three order carriers from Yamaraja came to take Ajamila to Yamaraja\u2019s abode. Fortunately, even though he was referring to his son, Ajamila chanted the four syllables of the hari\u2212nama Narayana, and therefore the order carriers of Narayana, the Visnudutas, also immediately arrived there. Because Ajamila was extremely afraid of the ropes of Yamaraja, he chanted the Lord\u2019s name with tearful eyes. Actually, however, he never meant to chant the holy name of Narayana; he meant to call his son.
\nSrila Visvanatha Cakravarti thakura remarks, hari\u2212kirtanam nisamyapatan, katham\u2212bhutasya bhartur nama bruvatah: the order carriers of Lord Visnu came because Ajamila had chanted the holy name of Narayana. They did not consider why he was chanting. While chanting the name of Narayana, Ajamila was actually thinking of his son, but simply because they heard Ajamila chanting the Lord\u2019s name, the order carriers of Lord Visnu, the Visnudutas, immediately came for Ajamila\u2019s protection. Hari\u2212kirtana is actually meant to glorify the holy name, form, pastimes and qualities of the Lord. Ajamila, however, did not glorify the form, qualities or paraphernalia of the Lord; he simply chanted the holy name. Nevertheless, that chanting was sufficient to cleanse him of all sinful activities. As soon as the Visnudutas heard their master\u2019s name being chanted, they immediately came. In this regard Srila Vijayadhvaja Tirtha remarks: anena putra\u2212sneham antarena pracinadrsta\u2212balad udbhutaya bhaktya bhagavan\u2212nama\u2212sankirtanam iti jnayate. \u201cAjamila chanted the name of Narayana because of his excessive attachment to his son. Nevertheless, because of his past good fortune in having rendered devotional service to Narayana, he apparently chanted the holy name in full devotional service and without offenses.\u201d
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.24\u221230
\nWhether one chants knowingly or unknowingly, the holy name will free one from all reactions to sinful activities:
\n[The Visnudutas to the Yamadutas]: As a fire burns dry grass to ashes, so the holy name of the Lord, whether chanted knowingly or unknowingly, burns to ashes, without fail, all the reactions of one\u2019s sinful activities. If a person unaware of the effective potency of a certain medicine takes that medicine or is forced to take it, it will act even without his knowledge because its potency does not depend on the patient\u2019s understanding. Similarly, even though one does not know the value of chanting the holy name of the Lord, if one chants knowingly or unknowingly, the chanting will be very effective.
\nFire will act, regardless of whether handled by an innocent child or by someone well aware of its power. For example, if a field of straw or dry grass is set afire, either by an elderly man who knows the power of fire or by a child who does not, the grass will be burned to ashes. Similarly, one may or may not know the power of chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, but if one chants the holy name he will become free from all sinful reactions\u2026
\nIn the Western countries, where the Hare Krsna movement is spreading, learned scholars and other thoughtful men are realizing its effectiveness. For example, Dr. J. Stillson Judah, a learned scholar, has been very much attracted to this movement because he has actually seen that it is turning hippies addicted to drugs into pure Vaisnavas who voluntarily become servants of Krsna and humanity. Even a few years ago, such hippies did not know the Hare Krsna mantra, but now they are chanting it and becoming pure Vaisnavas. Thus they are becoming free from all sinful activities, such as illicit sex, intoxication, meat\u2212eating and gambling. This is practical proof of the effectiveness of the Hare Krsna movement, which is supported in this verse. One may or may not know the value of chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, but if one somehow or other chants it, he will immediately be purified, just as one who takes a potent medicine will feel its effects, regardless of whether he takes it knowingly or unknowingly.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 6.2.18\u221219
\nThe holy name acts even when chanted without reference to the Supreme Lord by those bereft of Vedic culture:
\nOne day Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu met Haridasa thakura as usual, and in the course of discussion He inquired as follows. \u201cMy dear thakura Haridasa, in this age of Kali most people are bereft of Vedic culture, and therefore they are called yavanas. They are concerned only with killing cows and brahminical culture. In this way they all engage in sinful acts. How will these yavanas be delivered? To My great unhappiness, I do not see any way.\u201d Haridasa thakura replied, \u201cMy dear Lord, do not be in anxiety. Do not be unhappy to see the condition of the yavanas in material existence. Because the yavanas are accustomed to saying, ‘ha rama, ha rama\u2019 [O Lord Ramacandra], they will very easily be delivered by this namabhasa. A devotee in advanced ecstatic love exclaims, ‘O my Lord Ramacandra! O my Lord Ramacandra!\u2019 But the yavanas also chant, ‘ha rama, ha rama!\u2019 Just see their good fortune!\u201d
\nIf a child touches fire, the fire will burn him, and if an elderly man touches fire it will burn him also. Haridasa thakura says that a great devotee of the Lord exclaims, \u201cha rama, ha rama,\u201d but although yavanas do not know the transcendental meaning of \u201cha rama, ha rama,\u201d they say those words in the course of their ordinary life. For the yavanas the words \u201cha rama\u201d mean \u201cabominable,\u201d whereas the devotee exclaims the words \u201cha rama\u201d in ecstatic love. Nevertheless, because the words \u201cha rama\u201d are the spiritual summum bonum, the fact is the same both for a child and for an elderly man. In other words, the holy name of the Lord, \u201cha rama,\u201d always acts, even when the holy names are chanted without reference to the Supreme Lord. Yavanas utter the holy name in a different attitude than devotees, but the holy name \u201cha rama\u201d is so powerful spiritually that it acts anywhere, whether one knows it or not. This is explained as follows.
\nNamacarya Haridasa thakura, the authority on the chanting of the holy name, said, \u201cThe chanting of the Lord\u2019s holy name to indicate something other than the Lord is an instance of namabhasa. Even when the holy name is chanted in this way, its transcendental power is not destroyed. ‘Even a mleccha who is being killed by the tusk of a boar and who cries in distress again and again, “ha rama, ha rama\u201d attains liberation. What then to speak of those who chant the holy name with veneration and faith?\u2019\u201c
\nThis refers to an instance in which a meat\u2212eater being killed by a boar uttered the words “ha rama, ha rama\u201d again and again at the time of his death. Since this is a quotation from the Nrsimha Purana, this indicates that in the Puranic age there must also have been mlecchas and yavanas (meat\u2212eaters), and the words \u201cha rama,\u201d meaning \u201ccondemned,\u201d were also uttered in those days. Thus Haridasa thakura gives evidence that even a meat\u2212eater who condemns something by uttering the words \u201cha rama\u201d gets the benefit of chanting the holy name that the devotee chants to mean \u201cO my Lord Rama.\u201d
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Antya lila 3.49\u221256
\nEven unintentional chanting of the holy name, if offenseless, will take one back to Godhead:
\n[Sukadeva Gosvami to King Pariksit]: While suffering at the time of death, Ajamila chanted the holy name of the Lord, and although the chanting was directed toward his son, he nevertheless returned home, back to Godhead. Therefore, if one faithfully and inoffensively chants the holy name of the Lord, where is the doubt that he will return to Godhead?
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 6.2.49
\nEither deliberate or accidental chanting of the holy name immediately frees one from sinful reactions:
\n[Sukadeva Gosvami to King Pariksit]: If one who is embarrassed by hunger or who falls down or stumbles chants the holy name of the Lord even once, willingly or unwillingly, he is immediately freed from the reactions of his past deeds. Karmis entangled in material activities face many difficulties in the practice of mystic yoga and other endeavors to achieve that same freedom.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 5.24.20
\nEven if chanted in separate parts, The holy name is effective
\nThe holy name is effective even if vibrated in separate parts (provided there are no offenses):
\n\u201c’If a devotee once utters the holy name of the Lord, or if it penetrates his mind or enters his ear, which is the channel of aural reception, that holy name will certainly deliver him from material bondage, whether \u2026 properly joined or vibrated in separate parts.\u2019\u201d
\nThis verse from the Padma Purana is included in the Hari\u2212bhakti\u2212vilasa (11.527) by Sanatana Gosvami. Therein Srila Sanatana Gosvami gives the following explanation:
\nvaci gatam prasangad van\u2212madhye pravrttam api,
\nsmarana\u2212patha\u2212gatam kathancin manah\u2212sprstam api,
\nsrotra\u2212mulam gatam kincit srutam api;
\nsuddha\u2212varnam vasuddha\u2212varnam api va;
\n‘vyavahitam\u2019 sabdantarena yad\u2212vyavadhanam
\nvaksyamana\u2212narayana\u2212sabdasya
\nkincid uccarananantaram prasangad
\napatitam sabdantaram tena rahitam sat.
\nThis means that if one somehow or other hears, utters or remembers the holy name, or if it catches his mind while coming near his ears, that holy name, even if vibrated in separate words, will act. An example of such separation is given as follows:
\nyadva, yadyapi ‘halam riktam\u2019
\nity ady\u2212uktau hakara\u2212rikarayor vrttya
\nhariti\u2212namasty eva, tatha ‘raja\u2212mahisi\u2019
\nity atra rama\u2212namapi, evam
\nanyad apy uhyam, tathapi
\ntat\u2212tan\u2212nama\u2212madhye
\nvyavadhayakam aksarantaram
\nastity etadrsa\u2212vyavadhana\u2212
\nrahitam ity arthah; yadva,
\nvyavahitam ca tad\u2212rahitam capi va;
\ntatra ‘vyavahitam’\u2212namnah kincid
\nuccarananantaram kathancid
\napatitam sabdantaram samadhaya pascan
\nnamavasistaksara\u2212grahanam ity evam rupam,
\nmadhye sabdantarenantaritam ity arthah,
\n‘rahitam\u2019 pascad avasistaksara\u2212grahana\u2212varjitam,
\nkenacid amsena hinam ity arthah,
\ntathapi tarayaty eva.
\nSuppose one is using the two words \u201chalam riktam.\u201d Now the syllable ha in the word \u201chalam\u201d and the syllable ri in \u201criktam\u201d are separately pronounced, but nevertheless it will act because one somehow or other utters the word \u201chari.\u201d Similarly, in the word \u201craja\u2212mahisi,\u201d the syllables ra and ma appear in two separate words, but because they somehow or other appear together, the holy name rama will act, provided there are no offenses.
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Antya lila 3.60
\nEven if chanted jokingly, The holy name is effective
\nBecause the holy name is absolute, it is effective whether one chants sincerely or jokingly:
\nKrsna consciousness is not at all to the liking of the demons of the present age. As soon as they see a Vaisnava dressed in saffron garments with beads on his neck and tilaka on his forehead, they are immediately irritated. They criticize the Vaisnavas by sarcastically saying Hare Krsna, and some people also chant Hare Krsna sincerely. In either case, since Hare Krsna is absolute, whether one chants it jokingly or sincerely, it will have its effect. The Vaisnavas are pleased when the demons chant Hare Krsna because this shows that the Hare Krsna movement is taking ground.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.7
\nEven chanting for the sake Of blasphemy is effective
\nEven if the holy name is chanted for the sake of blasphemy, the holy name is so powerful that it frees one from reactions of sinful activities:
\n[Rupa and Sanatana Gosvami to Lord Caitanya]: \u201cJagai and Madhai had but one fault\u2212they were addicted to sinful activity. However, volumes of sinful activity can be burned to ashes simply by a dim reflection of the chanting of Your holy name. Jagai and Madhai uttered Your holy name by way of blaspheming You. Fortunately, that holy name became the cause of their deliverance.\u201d
\nJagai and Madhai chanted the name of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by way of blasphemy, but because they simply chanted His name, they immediately became free from the reactions of sinful activities. Thus later they were saved.
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Madhya lila 1.194\u221295
\nEven demons who utter Krsna\u2019s name only for blaspheming Him attain liberation:
\nThe conditioned soul, being envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, may accuse Him, saying, \u201cKrsna is bad, Krsna is a thief\u201d and so on, but Krsna, being kind to all living entities, does not consider such accusations. Instead, He takes account of the conditioned soul\u2019s chanting of \u201cKrsna, Krsna\u201d so many times. He sometimes punishes such demons for one life by putting them in a lower species, but then, when they have stopped accusing Him, they are liberated in the next life because of chanting Krsna\u2019s name constantly.
\n\u2013 Srimad Bhagavatam 7.1.25
\nEven if uttered to chastise Krsna, the holy name brings liberation:
\n[Svarupa Damodara to a Bengali poet]: \u201cSometimes it so happens that one who wants to chastise Krsna utters the holy name, and thus the holy name becomes the cause of his liberation.\u201d
\n\u2013 Sri Caitanya caritamrta Antya lila 5.155
\nEven blasphemers can be freed from sinful activities by chanting the holy name:
\nJaya and Vijaya inwardly knew that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but they purposely became His enemies to be delivered from material life. From the very beginning of their lives they thought of Lord Krsna as an enemy, and even though blaspheming Lord Krsna, they chanted the holy name of Krsna constantly along with their inimical thoughts. Thus they were purified because of chanting the holy name of Krsna. It is to be understood that even a blasphemer can be freed from sinful activities by chanting the holy name of the Lord.
