<\/a>Chanting as a joke<\/span><\/h2>\n

Parihasa-namabhasa<\/span><\/p>\n

That person who chants Krishna-nama in jest, just like Jarasandha, passes through this world of birth and death.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Chanting without respect<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stobha-namabhasa<\/span><\/p>\n

While making angry gestures, Caidya[1]<\/a> also chanted namabhasa disrespectfully. Despite this he was able to cut ties with this material world.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Chanting carelessly<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hela-namabhasa<\/span><\/p>\n

Hela-namabhasa is when one chants ‘Krishna’ and ‘Rama’ absentmindedly and in a disrespectful mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

All these types of namabhasas can liberate the mlecchas. Those who are materialistic and lazy follow this path.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a>Chanting with Sraddha and chanting with negligence are two different types of Namabhasa<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sraddha o hela-namabhasera bheda<\/span><\/p>\n

You have ordained that when one chants with sraddha but also with anarthas, this is sraddha-namabhasa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting with sanketa, where one chants in a disrespectful mood, to chanting the Holy Name with hela, this is chanting without sraddha.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hela-namabhasa merely destroys the results of sins and grants liberation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Namabhasa destroys Anarthas and gives rise to Prema<\/span><\/h2>\n

Anartha-nase namabhasa nama haiya prema deya<\/span><\/p>\n

Namabhasa can give everything except Krishna-prema. By progressing with namabhasa, one eventually arrives at Suddha-nama.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the anarthas disappear, Suddha-nama appears. Then Krishna-prema certainly manifests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namabhasa cannot give prema directly. But by following the appropriate procedures, the Holy Name will give prema.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>The difference between Namabhasa and Namaparadha<\/span><\/h2>\n

Namabhasa o namaparadhera bheda<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I offer my respects to anyone who avoids offenses to the Holy Name and chants in namabhasa.<\/span><\/p>\n

O Sarvesvara, I declare that namabhasa is infinitely superior to karma and jnana.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there is sraddha, which is the foundation of rati, one becomes purified. Then the pure Name arises[2]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> Sisupala.<\/span><\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> The point that Haridas Thakura is making is that in any manner one must chant, even in namabhasa. Thanks to this sraddha, Suddha-nama will then arise and then rati, love.<\/span><\/p>\n
