Chant Constantly and Perfect Your Life
“The Lord advised him, “Go to Vṛndāvana and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra constantly.””
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu told Subuddhi Rāya to go to Vṛndāvana and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra constantly. The purport presents this as a solution to sinful activities and life’s perplexities.
- Real liberation from life’s perplexities means preparing for the next life. One should become situated in one’s spiritual identity and return home, back to Godhead.
- Constant chanting is the simplest method recommended here. By chanting, realizing Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and engaging in His devotional service, one can perfect one’s life.
