Faith in the Holy Name!

Verse 1.15.7 (Shalini Mji):

* A small story here about how Arjuna was married to Draupadi.
* King Drupada wanted his daughter's hand to be given only to Arjuna.
* In this verse, Arjuna was remembering the power given to him by Krishna, is winning the hand of Draupadi.
* He is feeling that extreme lamentation in the absence of the Supreme Lord.
* Krishna has told in BG, that He is the intelligent seed, He is the most powerful of all powerful men. This shows that whatever infinitesimal power we might have in our DS or any activity, is actually coming from the Supreme powerful, Krishna.
* We can also know that in this kaliyuga, Krishna has put all power in the Holy Name. The problem is that I do not have that faith in the power.
* Couple of beautiful verses, where it is told how powerful Krishna's holy name is:
- Vishnu sahasranam = sri rama rameti....
- the technical aspect, 1 name of Krishna = 3000 names of Lord Vishnu
* Even after hearing so much on chanting, doing chanting on the daily basis, but still is there faith that Krishna has invested all the power in the holy name.
* Definitely SP has so much mercy on all us, that with day to day practice, one day will surely come when we will have that faith that Krishna is Himself the Holy name.
