Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada once explained that after careful consideration of the five limbs of bhakti, the best practice is sri-nama bhajana.<\/p>\n
(1) Sadhu-sanga-assotiating with devotees is recommended to create a taste or inclination for sri-nama bhajana. This comes from associating with holy saints who are attached to chanting Krsna\u2019s holy names with firm faith and who systematically chant the names.<\/p>\n
(2) Bhagavata-sravaha-hearing Srimad Bhagavatam which itself declares sri-nama bhajana to be the highest virtue. In its beginning, middle (sixth canto, Ajamila story), and end, the Srimad Bhagavatam repeatedly stresses the efficacy of sri-nama bhajana.<\/p>\n
(3) Mathura-vasa-sri-nama bhajana is situated at the root of residence in the region of Vrindavan. The sadhus living in or visiting these holy places are always engaged in nama-sankirtana.<\/p>\n
(4) Sri-murti-seva-the service of Krsna\u2019s Deity is always conducted with mantras full of God\u2019s names. The Hari-bhakti-vilasa and Sri Jiva Gosvami say that Deity service must be accompanied with chanting the Hare Krishna mantra for it to be accepted.<\/p>\n
(5) Nama-sankirtana-is directly chanting the holy names.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
