Srila Sanatana Gosvami


Excerpted from the Brhad-bhagavatamrta of Sanatana Goswami

Part II, Ch.III, Texts 158-68
krishnasya nana-vidha-kirtanesu
tan-nama-sankirtanam eva mukhyam
tat-prema-sampaj-janane svayam drak
saktum tatah sresthatamam matam tat

Of the many ways to glorify Lord Krishna, chanting His holy name is the first. Because it has the power to give the great wealth of pure love for Him, it is considered the best.

sri-krishna-namamrtam atma-hrdyam
premna samasvadana-bhangi-purvam
yat sevyate jihvikayaviramam
tasyatulam jalpatu ko mahattvam

Who can describe the peerless glory of Lord Krishna's holy name, which delights the heart and is waves of nectar always lovingly tasted by the tongue?

sarvesam bhagavan-namnam
samano mahimapi cet
tathapi sva-priyenasu
svartha-siddhih sukham bhavet

Although all the Lord's names are equally glorious, by chanting the names that are dear to the devotees one quickly and easily attains his desire.

vicitra-ruci-lokanam
kramat sarvesu namasu
priyata-sambhavat tani
sarvani syuh priyani hi

The devotees attracted to various names of the Lord gradually become attracted to all His names. They all become dear to him.

ekasminn indriye pradur
bhutam namamrtam rasaih
aplavayati sarvanin
driyani madhurair nijaih

Appearing in one sense, the nectar of the holy name floods all the senses with sweetness.

mukhyo vag-indriye tasyo-
dayah sva-para-harsadah
tat pradhor dhyanato 'pi syan
nama-sankirtanam varam

The holy name's appearance on the voice-sense delights both oneself and others. For this reason glorifying the Lord's holy name is better than meditating on Him.


Sri Sri Gauranga
nama-sankirtanam proktam
krishnasya prema sampadi
balistham sadhanam srestham
paramakrasa-mantra-vat

It is said that chanting the holy name is a great treasure of love for Lord Krishna. It is the best and most powerful spiritual practice. It is like the best mantra.

tad eva manyate bhakteh
phalam tad rasikair janaih
bhagavata-prema-sampattau
sadaivavyabhicaratah

They who know how to taste spiritual nectar know that spiritual love is the fruit of devotional service. In spiritual love one chants the holy name without stop.

sal-laksanam prema-bharasya krishne
kaiscid rasajnair uta kathyate tat
premno bharenaiva ni jesta-nama-
sankirtanam hi sphurati sphutartya

They who know how to taste nectar describe the spiritual qualities of intense love for Lord Krishna. When the chanter is in distress, the Lord's holy name is chanted with great love.

namnam tu sankirtanam arti-bharan
megham vina pravrsi catakanm
ratrau viyogat sva-pate rathangi-
vargasya cakrosana-vat pratihi

Know that, as the cataka birds lament when there is no raincloud, and as the cakravaki birds lament when separated from their husbands, so the devotees, distressed by separation from the Lord, make a lament of chanting the holy names.

 vicitra-lila-rasa-sagarasya
prabhor vicitrat sphuritat prasadat
 vicitra-sankirtana-madhuri sa
ma tu sva-yatnad iti sadhu sidhyet

Only by the wonderful mercy of the Lord, who is a nectar ocean of wonderful pastimes, is the wonderful sweetness of chanting the holy name manifest. It is not manifest by one's own efforts.
