Chanting the holy names of Lord Krishna allows:

To erase all the sins accumulated in all our previous lives from material existence, to purify our defiled heart, to be delivered from the imprisonment in matter (the material body) in this world, to obtain spiritual knowledge, to progress and bring forth all forms of devotional service, to awaken our love for Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, to taste ineffable spiritual happiness, to obtain the company of God,

and to devote ourselves to his devotional service of love as if we were plunging ourselves into the waters of a great ocean of love and to reach, whatever the situations, certainly the supreme perfection.

It is enough to recite or sing “Haré Krishna” without offending, so that the stain of the present age will disappear in us, allowing us to find our spiritual body and return to God, in our true original home.

Here are the ten offenses not to commit:

1°) Blaspheming a devotee of the Lord.

2°) Put the Lord and the celestial beings on the same level or believe in the existence of many gods.

3°) Not taking into account the orders of the spiritual master.

4°) Minimize the authority of the Vedas, the original holy scriptures.

5°) Interpret the Holy Name of the Lord.

6°) Knowingly accomplishing reprehensible acts while counting on the chanting of the Holy Name to cancel the consequences.

7°) Speak to unbelievers of the glories of the Name of the Lord.

8°) Compare the chanting of the Holy Name to material piety.

9°) Being inattentive during the chanting of the Holy Names.

10°) Remaining attached to the material despite the chanting of the Holy Names, and having heard so many instructions.

How can we approach God and see him face to face for eternity?

Lord Krishna said: “Leave all religion there and simply surrender to Me. I will free you from all the consequences of your sins, have no fear.

It is only through devotional service, and only in this way, that one can know Me as I am. And the being who, by such devotion becomes fully conscious of My Person, can then enter My absolute kingdom.

Only by serving Me with undivided love and devotion can Me be known as I am, standing before you and, indeed, seeing Me. Thus, and only thus, will the mystery of My Person be pierced”.

Thus, as soon as a being abandons himself to God, he finds true freedom. He certainly becomes free from all defilement and all his sins. Surrender to God is synonymous with total purification.
