Text 344] The Lord Instructs Sanatana Gosvami 193
TRANSLATION
“In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to
worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Krsna.
Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krsna Himself. He is accom-
panied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions.’
