The Glories of the Holy Name

The name of Krsna is purely spiritual. There is no knowledge as great as that of the name, and no practise of austerity or meditation, no result of spiritual activity, no form of renunciation, no act of sense control, no pious act, and no goal that can match it. The name is supreme liberation, the supreme destination, and the supreme peace. The name is eternal life itself. The name is supreme devotion and the supreme intelligence. The name is supreme love and the supreme rememberance. The name is the soul´s reason for existance. The name is the lord of the soul, the most worshipful object, and the supreme guru.
