Unfailing in All Circumstances

 The
key to getting out of the modes of material nature
and coming to the transcendental platform where life is
eternal, full of bliss and knowledge, is to fully absorb
yourself in devotional service unfailingly in all
circumstances. To do do one must be staunchly determined
just as person who has fallen off of a cliff but has
caught hold of a tree branch is staunchly determined not
to let go.

Answers According to the Vedic Version: |
|
|
|
Question:
Chant Gayatri Instead of Hare Krishna? |
|
|
Since
Sri Krishna says that of mantras He is Gayatri shouldn't
we chant the Gayatri mantra instead of the Hare Krishna
maha-mantra? Can you please quote slokas where it is
said that Hare Krishna maha-mantra is superior. My
parents want me to chant Gayatri mantra, however, I tell
them that since I chant Hare Krishna maha-mantra, it
already includes all other mantras. But, they don't seem
to be very happy with my argument.
Thank you.

Answer: Hare Krishna is
Recommended in Scripture |
|
|
Not only is Krishna the
Gayatri mantra; He is also the Hare Krishna maha-mantra.
You have correctly understood that by chanting Hare
Krishna you have already become the perfect chanter of
all other mantras. This is why the Hare Krishna
mantra is called the maha-mantra, or the Great Chanting
for Deliverance. The Hare Krishna maha-mantra is
especially recommended in this age in the following
verse from the Kali-Santarana Upanisad:
hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa
kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
hare rāma hare rāma
rāma rāma hare hare
iti ṣoḍaśakaṁ nāmnāṁ
kali-kalmaṣa-nāśanaṁ
nātaḥ parataropāyaḥ
sarva-vedeṣu dṛśyate
“After searching through all the Vedic literature, one
cannot find a method of religion more sublime for this
age than these sixteen names composed of thirty-two
syllables. They are the only means to counteract the
evil effects of Kali-yuga."
