Why it works
  • Destroys karmic sins accumulated over millions of lifetimes through the power of divine remembrance (smaran).
  • Deepens bhakti (devotional love) by engaging all senses in intimate meditation on Krishna's divine form and pastimes.
  • Grants mukti (liberation) and prema-bhakti (love-filled devotion) through sincere chanting with focus and feeling.
  • Invokes Krishna's protective grace and removes obstacles through vivid invocation of his divine qualities (gunas).
  • Establishes sacred presence in the heart through eight progressive visions of Krishna's cosmic and pastoral forms.
