The most important among all the limbs of bhakti, which is also the root of bhakti, is harinama-sankirtana.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cOf the nine processes of devotional service, the most important is to always chant the holy name of the Lord. If one does so, avoiding the ten kinds of offenses, one very easily obtains the most valuable love of Godhead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prahlada told the boys,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe should begin harinama-sankirtana today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The boys asked,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow can we do this? Do we have to be experts in playing musical instruments? Do we have to bring any instruments?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prahlada replied,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no need. Krsna has given us the very beautiful karatalas (hand cymbols) of our hands. We can clap our hands. Krsna has also given us our tongue and mouth to sing in a sweet voice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Prahlada Maharaja then instructed them,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRepeat after me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hare Krsna Hare Krsna\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Krsna Krsna Hare Hare,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hare Rama Hare Rama\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rama Rama Hare Hare,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The boys told Prahlada,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are tired. We want something easier. This is so long. We want an easy kirtana.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prahlada told them,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRepeat after me again: \u2018Haribol, haribol, haribol.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The boys all blissfully engaged with Prahlada in harinama sankirtana.<\/span><\/p>\n
