What is Nama Yagna? - Hare Krishna Island
Every year at Hare Krishna Island we host the Maha Nama Yagna. This is a major event in our calendar.
This is a 2 day event of Bhajan (Devotional Songs) and chanting of
"Hare Krishna".
Quotes From Scripture...
“In this Age of Kali, the Holy Name of the Lord, the Hare Krsna
Mahä-Mantra, is the incarnation of Lord Krsna. Simply by chanting the Holy Name, one associates with the Lord
directly. Anyone who does this is certainly delivered. [Cc. Adi
17.22]
For spiritual progress in this Age of Kali, there is no
alternative, no alternative, no alternative to the Holy Name, the Holy Name, the Holy Name of the Lord.
[Brhan-Naradiya Purana 3.8.126]
When the Saìkirtana movement thus started, no one in Navadvipa
could hear any sound other than the words “Hari! Hari!” and the beating of the mrdanga and clashing of hand bells.
[Cc.]
"The managers of this center should see that twenty-four hours a
day there is chanting of the Holy Names of the Hare Krsna Mahä-Mantra" ... Swami Prabhupada
The potency of the Holy Name of Krsna is so great that one can be
delivered simply by chanting the Holy Name, and this is confirmed in Srimad-Bhägavatam (12.3.51). Any man from any
part of the world who practices chanting of the Holy Name of Krsna can be liberated and after death go back home,
back to Godhead.
One must engage his tongue in the service of the holy name. Our
Krsna consciousness movement is based on this principle. We try to engage all the members of the Krsna
consciousness movement in the service of the holy name.
See You
There!
Keep an eye out for details of this years event!
