Initiation + lifetimes to reach the pure name

Respected Swamiji and Vaisnavas,

  Nityaananda Gauraanga Hare Krishna! 

  All glories to the guru parampara!

  Please accept my respectful obeisances. I had read somewhere that Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati where he said that those who chant Hare Krishna offensively need to take one more life where they chant with namabhasa (glimpse of the pure name) and  in the life after  that they chant the holy names and reach full perfection. Is this a fact?

  But since we have accepted chanting of the mantrarajas, how different does that make our situation?

  The other topic is on initiation. Mahaprabhu said that initiation was not necessary for chanting the names of the Lord? What is the difference between those who chant without receiving diksha and those who chant after receiving diksha?

   When a person receives diksha one chants various gayatri mantras and in the Brahma Samhita Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati says that they indicate Radha Krishna in the madhura rasa. But we do not know what our svarupa is. So where do those mantras take us.

   First initiation is harinama initiation and second initiation is mantra initiation. Is it true that mantra initiation was not given before Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati? Why is second initiation given?

   My apologies for the last post. I feel I have committed a grave offense. Henceforth I will never pursue such topics as you have made me realise that it is as futile as trying to catch the sky or tell stories to dead bodies. I will not make any more issues out of non-existent matters. Please forgive me this time. I am falling at all your feet.

My apologies,

Worthless Rascal 'smi,

Srinath
