glories of chanting holy name of hari - contd

[jaimin]

George Harrison: When my mother died I had to send my sister and
father out of the room, because they were getting emotional, and I
just chanted Hare Krsna.
Prabhupada: She chanted.
George Harrison: I did.
Prabhupada: Oh, very nice, so she could hear?
George Harrison: I don't know, I don't know, she was in like a coma or
something. It was the only thing I could think of.
Prabhupada: When it happened?
George Harrison: In 1970. It was the only thing I could think of that
may be of value, you know.
Prabhupada: Anyway, if she has heard Hare Krsna, she'll get the
benefit. Either she chants or somebody chanting, if she hears,
sravanam kirtanam, both the same thing. Little chance. Svalpam apy
asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat. So let us practice in such a way
that at the time of death we may remember. That is success. Tyaktva
deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya [Bg. 4.9].
