Chanting the Holy Name of Krishna
is in itself bhakti, devotional service

My dear –

Please accept my blessings full of love and affection. Please carefully and attentively read ‘Sajjana Toshani.’ Simply by reading more and more about Sri Bhagavan, the Supreme Lord, and His devotees, all our deficits and imperfections will go away. Without getting restless for the immediate results, please keep chanting Harinama regularly, with patience and tolerance. Then, certainly, Sri Bhagavan also will not sit silently. Sri Gaura Hari bestows auspicious results based on the degree of one’s sadhana, and devotional endeavors. Serving Lord Sri Hari is termed as Bhakti, a loving devotional service. You will be able to realize that bhakti is nothing but chanting the Holy Name of Krishna. I have come to know that Sriman *** and *** are doing well in their own houses. You can start to chant Krishna Nama after touching the japmala (the chanting beads) to the Lotus Feet of Sri Gaurasundara within your mind.

I am doing alright.

Your ever well-wisher,
Akinchana (having no material possession),

Sri Siddhanta Saraswati
