Vaishnava is the one who has received diksha-mantras from the guru. You must chant diksha-mantras every day. Do not miss them so as not to commit the offence. Those who worship Narayana shalagrama-shila will reach Vaikuntha. Those who worship Vasudeva Krishna for 100 lives get the ability to chant the holy names.
