Chanting Hare Krishna offenselessly
Dear Gurudev and devotees,
Nityananda ! Gauranga ! Hare Krishna !
Dandavat Pranaams.
There has been a question in my mind since a lot of months. Chanting of Nityaananda Gauraanga Naam is required to burn the offenses in our heart so that we can chant Hare Krishna without offenses. This is because Hare Krishna can burn sins and not offenses. Thus a person who chants only Hare Krishna may derive bliss while chanting but is not able to get glimpses of the Lords forms and past times.
However when a person is initiated in the Hare Krishna Mahamantra then the guru accepts the disciples offenses on him thus he makes the disciple qualified to chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra without offenses. If this is the case then it seems that even such a devotee should be able to see the glimpses of the Lord's Forms and Pastimes shown to him by the Paramatma according to his purification and ofcourse after he becomes a perfected soul then the original Lords enter his heart. May be this could be the reason why Bhaktivinod Thakur said that a person who chants Hare Krishna or Gauraanga are on the same level.
Dear Guruji, I really request you to guide me whether what I have understood is right or wrong ?
ys,
Mihir.
