<strong>of</strong> the Lord become self-evident. One who has tasted the full<br />
nectar <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Holy</strong> Name automatically avoids the ten <strong>of</strong>fenses<br />
to the <strong>Holy</strong> Name, and his path to complete spiritual<br />
enlightenment becomes straight and clear.<br />
It is our fond hope that the readers <strong>of</strong> this volume will apply<br />
these truths and instructions to make their own lives perfect in<br />
spiritual realization. Certainly, anyone who chants the <strong>Holy</strong><br />
Name <strong>of</strong> the Lord even once is a great soul worthy <strong>of</strong> all<br />
respect and praise.<br />

“To say nothing <strong>of</strong> the spiritual advancement <strong>of</strong> persons who<br />
see the Supreme Person face-to-face, even a person born in a<br />
family <strong>of</strong> dog-eaters immediately becomes eligible to perform<br />
Vedic sacrifices if he once utters the <strong>Holy</strong> Name <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Supreme Personality <strong>of</strong> Godhead or chants about Him, hears<br />
about His pastimes, <strong>of</strong>fers Him obeisances or even remembers<br />
Him.” [Çrémad-Bhägavatam 3.33.6]<br />
Once begun, the process <strong>of</strong> hearing and chanting inevitably<br />
continues, clearing the mirror <strong>of</strong> the mind <strong>of</strong> all misconceptions<br />
until the chanter attains the perfection <strong>of</strong> spiritual realization.<br />
Long before achieving that exalted destination, all material<br />
pangs will have been erased by the potent purifying action <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>Holy</strong> Name. We wish the reader all good fortune on this<br />
most auspicious progressive journey to the most wonderful<br />
state <strong>of</strong> Kåñëa consciousness.
