The Holy Name Makes Life Auspicious
“I have attained all this by coming to Vṛndāvana, and this was made possible by the mercy of Lord Nityānanda.”
What the purport teaches
- The author attributes all he attained in Vṛndāvana to Lord Nityānanda’s mercy.
- All the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana are Vaiṣṇavas and are all-auspicious because they chant Kṛṣṇa’s holy name. Though some do not strictly follow devotional rules and regulations, on the whole they are devotees of Kṛṣṇa.
- Even greetings in the street include the name of Rādhā or Kṛṣṇa. Whether purposely or without purpose, such chanting makes them directly or indirectly auspicious.
