The Name- Glorification 347

[Rammohan G]

And now Hindu means anything. You can be an atheist, you can worship a ghost, you can worship the demigod, Durga – anything you like – and still be called a Hindu. India’s national leaders are proud that anything can be Hindu. But under that misnomer, if you say, “Yes, it is perfectly right and religious. Our leaders, our gurus, say that any worship is good. You worship a dog, you worship a ghost, you worship a politician, you worship Krsna. It’s all the same. Everything is one” – that’s an offense. The Lord is the Supreme Truth. Everything is coming from Him. He has many names, but don’t confuse these names or think them equal to ordinary names of material personalities.

[Rammohan G]

There are many names of God – Jehovah, Allah – in different religious cultures. Any name can be chanted, with the understanding that this is a name of the Supreme. But to take any other name to be the same as the name of God is an offense. And we are chanting this name Krsna because we are following Lord Chaitanya, who chanted Krsna and who gave us evidence that this is the supreme original name for the Supreme Being. So we have to defend our position when some rascal speaks otherwise, and for ourselves, we cannot even consider worshipping any demigod side by side with Lord Krsna. Krsna wants exclusive worship – anyabhilashita-shunyam – unalloyed devotional service. Don’t make such a mistake.
