The importance of chanting
Once Srila Prabhupada asked a few devotees who were with him, “Why do you think I wrote all these books?”
Devotees gave different reasons. Someone said, “You wrote these books to tell us about the philosophy of Krishna, philosophy of Gita.”
Prabhupada said, “No.”
Someone else said, “Prabhupada, you wanted to teach us about bhakti.”
Prabhupada said, “No.”
Like this, the devotees were giving so many different reasons.
Somehow Prabhupada was not satisfied.
He said, *I wrote all these books to convince you to chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra*
Chanting the Hare Krishna mantra is so important. The Lord’s avatar in this Yuga is in the form of the holy name. Srila Prabhupada wanted us to chant the holy name.
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
