172 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 6, Ch. 3

Even if in the beginning one chants the Hare Krsna mantra with
offenses, one will become free from such offenses by chanting again and
again. Paépa-ksayas ca bhavati smaratam tam ahar-nisam: one becomes
free from all sinful reactions if one chants day and night, following the
recommendation of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It was Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu who quoted the following verse:

harer nama harer nama
harer ndmaiva kevalam

kalau nasty eva nasty eva
nasty eva gatir anyatha

“In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is
chanting the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no
other way. There is no other way.” If the members of the Krsna con-
sciousness movement strictly follow this recommendation of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, their position will always be secure.
