reactions will go away. After you chant perfectly, you will get shelter at the
lotus feet of Krsna.
PURPORT
The ten kinds of offenses should be considered. In the beginning, when one is
initiated into the chanting of the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra, there are naturally
many offenses. However, the devotee should be very careful to avoid these
offenses and chant purely. This does not mean that the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra is
sometimes pure and sometimes impure. Rather, the chanter is impure due to
material contamination. He has to purify himself so that the holy names will be
perfectly effective. Chanting the holy name of the Lord inoffensively will help one
get immediate shelter at Krsna’s lotus feet. This means that by chanting purely,
one will immediately be situated on the transcendental platform. We should note,
however, that according to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s instructions, one should
not wait to purify himself before chanting the Hare Krsna mantra. Whatever our
condition may be, we should begin chanting immediately. By the power of the
Hare Krsna mantra, we will gradually be relieved from all material contamination
and will get shelter at the lotus feet of Krsna, the ultimate goal of life.
