This is accepted by all the learned scholars of the scriptures. SB 6.2.14<\/p>\n<p>The power of the holy name to absolve sins is declared emphatically in the scriptures. The Garuda Purana tells us, &#8220;If one chants the holy name of the Lord, even in helplessness or without desiring to do so, all the reactions of his sinful life depart, just as when a lion roars all the small animals flee in fear.&#8221; Says the Brhad-visnu Purana, &#8220;Simply by chanting the name of Hari, a sinful man can counteract the reactions to more sins than he is able to commit.&#8221; In the Visnu-dharmottara we read, &#8220;This word krsna is so auspicious that anyone who chants this holy name rids himself immediately of the reactions of sinful activities from many, many births.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads72\/tumblr_pg9znc3GSm1sbj0vuo1_500.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A new rendition of the maha-mantra by Anup Jalota and friends (4 min video)<br \/>\nA happy melody with classic Iskcon scenes as the video background.<br \/>\nWatch it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/iJbV33\">https:\/\/goo.gl\/iJbV33<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T-ecPT1W56k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Lord Brahma says:<br \/>\nHare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare<br \/>\nHare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This mantra, consisting of 16 words and 32 syllables, is the only means against evil in the age of Kali.
