Chant Anyway!<\/p>\n

Your mind is wandering all over the universe when you chant.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

Your mind is wandering to the past and future when you chant.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

You are not able to concentrate on Krishna\u2019s names while you chant.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

You have no taste for chanting.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

You have lusty desires.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

You are making offenses in chanting.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

You are not praying to Krishna to help you chant better.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

You often chant late at night.<\/p>\n

Chant anyway!<\/p>\n

So WHY? Why should you chant despite all the above obstacles?<\/p>\n

This is why:<\/p>\n

There is no vow like chanting the holy name, no knowledge superior to it, no meditation which comes anywhere near it, and it gives the highest result.<\/p>\n

No penance is equal to it, and nothing is as potent or powerful as the holy name.<\/p>\n

Chanting is the greatest act of piety and the supreme refuge.<\/p>\n

Even the words of the Vedas do not possess sufficient power to describe its magnitude.<\/p>\n

Chanting is the highest path to liberation, peace and eternal life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the pinnacle of devotion, the heart\u2019s joyous proclivity and attraction and the best form of remembrance of the Supreme Lord.<\/p>\n

The holy name has appeared solely for the benefit of the living entities as their lord and master, their supreme worshipful object and their spiritual guide and mentor.<\/p>\n

Whoever continuously chants Lord Krishna\u2019s holy name, even in his sleep, can easily realize that the name is a direct manifestation of Krishna Himself, in spite of the influences of Kali-yuga.<\/p>\n
