Tommy wrote : It is more important to stop offenses than to burn past offenses

This is a good point. Padma Purana does say to avoid offenses while chanting the mahamantra, it does not say to burn the past offenses. However Bhaktivinod Thakur stresses a lot on mountains of offenses we have done in the past to be an obstacle in our chanting for pure love of God. When we combine the 2 logics may be it means if we have unburnt past offenses of our previous births then we will not be able to avoid offenses. The way our past sins force us to continue sinning but if our past sins are burnt then we will stop sinning. Though I am not too sure about this as it is pure speculation but this is a good point to discuss further.

Sincerely,
Mihir.
