The Maha Mantra has been chanted for millennia, but how far back does its history really go? In this engaging Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the origins, significance, and practice of chanting the holy names of Krishna. From understanding the ten offenses to the holy name to how Sri Chaitanya revived the Maha Mantra for all, this episode is packed with deep insights into the power of sacred sound.
Key Topics Covered:
• The Ninth Offense: Should we be cautious about sharing the Maha Mantra with everyone?
• Did people chant the Maha Mantra before Lord Chaitanya? What did they chant?
• Can someone without formal initiation teach Bhagavad Gita and lead Kirtan?
• What is Ekadashi, and how does fasting support Bhakti?
Discover how these essential aspects of Bhakti practice can elevate your spiritual journey and bring you closer to Krishna.
