Lord Caitanya's Order: Kirtaniyah Sada Harih!

Lord Caitanya's Order: Kirtaniyah Sada Harih!

Lord Caitanya, He was encouraging that we should chant everyday, kirtaniyah sada harih, all the time by reading the saying Krishna namastha kaho. By chanting hare Krishna constantly, we get forgiven for all these offenses. Whether they were brahmachari, whether they were grihasta. Therefore, He said, grhe thako, vane thako, sada 'hari' bole' dako. Whether somebody is a grihasta or somebody is in the renounced order, he should chant hare Krishna. Narottam Das thakur who was a life long brahmacari, he is saying, grihe ba bone de thake. Whoever, whether they stay in a Grihasta house or they are living in a forest or ashram or hermitage. Jibaha Gauranga take sei amar pran: Whoever with feeling chats, Ha Gauranga! he is my life and soul, dear to Me as My life. So there is no sectarian vision here. Everyone is dear according to their devotion. HH Jayapataka Swami Lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 10.20.16
