July 19: Namnamakari...shakti: Krishna has invested all his energies in the Holy Name. There are no hard and fast rules for chanting the Holy Name. (Eg: Pastime of Lord Ramachandra writing his name on a stone and dropping in the ocean. It drowns, but the stones dropped by Sugriva's army with Lord Ram's name floats)
Holy Name alone can render all benedictions. Srila Jagannath Das Babaji chanted Hare Krishna Mahamantra for 148 years. Nothing but the holy name.
2nd part of Shloka: What unfortunate soul I am. I have no taste for the Holy Name. (Here "I" is actually referring to us). 1st shloka is the thesis and 2nd shloka is anti-thesis.
Time is running out for us. When will we get a taste for the Holy Name.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada chanted 192 rounds for 10 years to establish this movement.
Because our heart is rock like, we have no taste for Holy Name. But what is the solution? ...Coming tomorrow!
