The Holy Names of the Lord, Part 2, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In the chanting of the Holy Names of the Lord there are three stages: the offensive stage, the clarifying stage and the pure stage. The singer, in the offensive stage, wants material things; For there is purification. When one is in the clarifying stage, one has a glimpse of the holy name and becomes a liberated person; And in the pure stage, one experiences the love of God, and laments, why do I have only two ears? I wish I had millions of ears to hear the holy name. Why do I have only one language? I wish I had millions of tongues to sing. In order to reach the stage of pure singing, the ten offenses must be avoided. Jesus Christ said, "Hallowed be thy name." Why did Jesus Christ not say the name of God? Because He knew that many offenses would be done to Him, how He would allow them to offend also God, His father. The first offense to the holy name is to criticize or belittle the devotees who are devoting their lives to the propagation of the holy names of the Lord. The second offense is to consider that the names of the demigods, such as Brahma or Shiva, are equal or independent to the name of Lord Visnu. The third offense is to disobey the commands of the spiritual master or to envy his exalted position. The fourth offense is to criticize or belittle the Vedic scriptures or those that are consistent with the Vedic version. The fifth offense is to give an interpretation to the holy name of the Lord. The sixth offense is to sin with the confidence that by singing will erase the guilt. The seventh offense is to listen inattentively or without due attention, of this offense come all the others. The eighth offense is to sing for material gain. The ninth offense is to preach the glories of the holy names to those who lack faith, as Jesus Christ said: "Do not give pearls to swine." And the tenth offense is to have material attachments after having heard so many instructions about it. He who is able to avoid these ten offenses reaches the stage of love for God and his life is a success and sublime.
The spiritual master of Srila Prabhupada named Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada in his youth, made the vow to sing 300,000 names of God or Krishna every day, and that he would sing in a few years a thousand million holy names, when he completed his vow he went out to preach Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, The H is read as J de jouta).
