If we do so, we have not nothing to fear, especially in this day and age.
It is enough for a sinner to pronounce the Holy Name of Krishna to neutralize the consequences of more faults than he can ever commit. If someone utters the Holy Name of the Lord, be it in a desperate condition or involuntarily, all the consequences of his faults disappear. By pronouncing once the Holy Name of the Lord, composed of the two syllables Krish-na, one is assured of attaining liberation.
The ritual activities recommended in the religious scriptures for the atonement of faults are not sufficient to purify the heart absolutely, for after the atonement the mind again rushes towards material acts. Also, for who aspires to be delivered from the material consequences of his self-interested acts, chanting “Hare Krishna”, or the glorification of the Lord's Name, Fame and Entertainment, is the most popular method of atonement more perfect, because this practice alone completely rids the heart of its impurities.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person says:
Men free from the dualities of this world, fruits of illusion, men who, in their past lives as in this life, were virtuous, the men in whom sin is ended, these serve Me with determination.
Anyone who remembers Me at the moment of death qualifies to return immediately to My home.
It is the thoughts, the memories of the being at the moment of leaving his body that undoubtedly determine his future condition.
Men free from the dualities of this world, fruits of illusion, the men who, in their past lives as in this life, were virtuous, the h Those in whom sin is ended, these serve Me with determination.
Of all the transcendentals, he who, with total faith, always abides in Me and adores Me by serving Me with love, this one is the greatest, and is most intimately to Me bound.
He who knows the Absolute of My Coming and My Acts will no longer have to be reborn in the material universe; by leaving his body, he will enter into My eternal kingdom.
Whoever wishes to be delivered from all suffering must listen to the words which relate to God, praise him and remember his Person, Him, the Supreme Soul, under the will from which all sufferings arise and vanish.
I am the source of all that exists.
I know everything, but no one knows Me.
