Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.
1. etaavataalam agha-nirharanaaya pumsaam
sankirtanam bhagavato guna-karma-naamnaam
vikrusya putram aghavaan yad ajaamilo 'pi
naaraayaneti mriyaamana iyaaya muktim
Therefore it should be understood that one is easily relieved from all sinful reactions by chanting the holy name of the Lord and chanting of His qualities and activities. This is the only process recommended for relief from sinful reactions. Even if one chants the holy name of the Lord with improper pronunciation, he will achieve relief from material bondage if he chants without offenses. Ajamila, for example, was extremely sinful, but while dying he merely chanted the holy name, and although calling his son, he achieved complete liberation because he remembered the name of Narayana. (Shrimad Bhaagavatam- SB-6.3.24)
2. saayam praatar grnan bhaktyaa / duhkha-graamaad vimucyate
If one always chants the holy name of the Lord with great devotion in the evening and in the morning, one can become free from all material miseries. (SB 1.3.29)
3. anudinam idam aadarena shrnvan
One can achieve liberation if one hears the holy name of the Lord constantly, every day with great respect. (SB 4.23.39)
4. shravanam kirtanam dhyaanam / harer adbhuta-karmanah
janma-karma- gunaanaam ca / tad-arthe 'khila-ceshtitam
One should always chant and hear about the extraordinarily wonderful activities of the Lord, one should meditate upon these activities, and one should endeavor to please the Lord. (SB 11.3.27)
5. paapa-kshayas ca bhavati smarataam tam ahar-nisam
One can become free from all sinful reactions simply by remembering the lotus feet of the Lord day and night [ahar-nisam] . (Vishnu Purana 1.17.78)
6. tasmaat sankirtanam vishnor / jagan-mangalam amhasaam
mahataam api kauravya / viddhy aikaantika-nishkrta m
Sukadeva Gosvami continued: My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins. Therefore the chanting of the sankirtana movement is the most auspicious activity in the entire universe. Please try to understand this so that others will take it seriously. (SB 6.3.24)
7. naamaaparaadha- yuktaanaam / naamaany eva haranty agham
avishraanti- prayuktaani / taany evaartha-karaani ca
Even if in the beginning one chants the Hare Krsna mantra with offenses, one will become free from such offenses by chanting again and again. (Padma Purana)
8. harer nama harer nama / harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nasty eva nasty eva / nasty eva gatir anyathaa
In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is chanting the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way. (Brhan-naradiya Purana 38.126)
9. jihvaa na vakti bhagavad guna-naamadheyam
cetas ca na smarati tac-caranaar avindam
krsnaaya no namati yac-cira ekadaapi
taan aanayadhvam asato ‘krta-vishnu- krtyaan
My dear servants, please bring to me only those sinful persons who do not use their tongues to chant the holy names and qualities of Krishna, whose hearts do not remember the lotus feet of Krishna even once, and whose heads do not bow down even once before Lord Krishna. Send me those who do not perform their duties toward Vishnu, which are the only duties in human life. Please bring me all such fools and rascals. (SB 6.3.29)
At the present moment our minds are polluted with the dirt accumulated over millions and millions of lifetimes of sense gratification. Even though our original pure nature is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, due to our mental contamination we are presently suffering in the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery. By the purificatory process of chanting the holy names of God we can revive our original, pure nature and thus relish the sweetest happiness at every minute.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
