Prabuphada on chanting...
“If you have got any other name for God, you can chant that. We are not asking you to chant ‘Kṛṣṇa.’ If you have got any name, holy name of God, you can chant that. We are requesting only this, that you chant the holy name of God.” — Lecture, Seattle, October 18, 1968
“God is one. It is not that Kṛṣṇa is a different God. The God is one. But Kṛṣṇa is the name of God, and it is authorized. Kṛṣṇa says, ‘You chant My name.’ You can chant in your own way; if you have got another name of God, you can chant that also. We are not asking that you chant Kṛṣṇa. But if you have no other name, then what is the harm if you chant Kṛṣṇa?” — Lecture, New York, December 26, 1966
“God has many names according to His different activities. But if you do not know which name to chant, then chant the name of Kṛṣṇa. All names of God are included in Kṛṣṇa.” — Conversation, Detroit, June 15, 1976
“It is not that we are allowing only the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. If somebody else chants Jehovah or Allah, we have no objection. We do not say that if you do not chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you are not my brother. No. We simply request, ‘Chant the name of God.’” — Room Conversation, Tehran, March 14, 1975
“Chant the name of God. If you prefer the name of Jesus, chant it. If you prefer the name of Jehovah, chant it. If you prefer the name of Allah, chant it. But chant God’s name.” — Lecture, London, September 4, 1971
