  • ⁠Sloja: harer nāma harer nāma (CC Madhya-lila 6.242).
  • ⁠God cannot be reached through knowledge and riches.
  • ⁠In Kali-yuga, the process to reach God is the chanting of the Holy Names.

  • ⁠Sloka: patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ (Bhagavad Gita 9.26).
  • ⁠The crocodile was not devotee but was released first because he was clinging to the paws of the devotee elephant Gajendra.
