Re: Offender chanting Hare Krishna

Dear Swamiji,

Nityananda ! Gauranga ! Hare Krishna !

Bhaktininod Thakur said we have mountains of offenses in our heart thus it is not easy to burn it. However in your previous posts you mentioned that sins and offenses come in a different category as offenses directly deal with the Holy Name.This means that only a person who chants the Holy Names of God is doing offenses and an atheist is simply doing sins and no offenses.

For example one of the offenses is to do sins thinking that the Holy Name will counteract it. However a person who does not chant any Holy Name does not need to think like this thus he does not do any offense rather he is just sinning. Similarly we can see this for all other offenses.

Now it can be said we have mountains of offenses if we have been chanting since millions of years, as then we could have been doing offenses for millions of years against the Holy Name we were chanting. In Gita Lord Krishna said that after millions of years people get knowledge and surrender to Him. However in my case I am so weak that I am not being able to surrender to Him because of which I need to take the help of Lord Nitaai and Lord Gaura. This means I might have not been chanting for millions of years so in that case there should not be mountains of offenses in my heart. Now if this is true then why does Hare Krishna not directly work for me ?

Sincerely,
Mihir.
