Re: Offender chanting Hare Krishna

I heard chanting of Nityananda Gauranga Naam burns all offenses except for offenses created in offending Vaishnavs.

According to Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata Madhya Khanda Chp22, Lord Nityaananda's Name does remove the offenses against Vaishnavas if we are genuinely repentant, decide to not do it again and beg forgiveness from that devotee if possible. There are many cases where Lord Nitaai forgave the Vaishnava offenders.

What if a person who very helplessly keeps on offending vaishnavs every moment due to habbit since millions of years but also wants love of God, what should he do ?

Love of God is not possible if someone keeps on helplessly or unhelplessly offending the devotees. Even Shri Shachimata, the mother of the whole creation, did not receive love of God due to this. Of course, this was only a pastime to show us the results of criticizing devotees. One has to make a tremendous personal effort to stop thinking critically about other devotees. Because thinking manifests into speaking, which is when the offense is considered. There is nothing like helplessly in this case. It is certainly in our hands to stop fault-finding and criticizing other devotees and no previous habit can induce us to do it if we resolve not to do it at any cost. The previous habit is used as a convenient excuse by our minds to engage in such sins. By hearing the grave results of Vaishnava Ninda from the scriptures, one will surely want to put a stop to it.
