The Names of Gaura and Nityananda

In our materially contaminated state the holy name of Krishna which is transcendental cannot be savoured to the full measure, for the offender to the Name is not able to attain devotional bliss or love of Godhead.In that impure condition, if the living entity is able to chant the name of Gaura- Nityananda with devotional sincerity then his impurities gradually fade away.Conversely, if one takes the Names of the Lordships in order to increase his bodily enjoyments including one's name and fame then his chanting of the name of Gaura will not have any spiritual bearing in the least.A simple example to illustrate this point is say Calcutta is 2 miles west of Howrah but if any one walking two miles in the eastern direction from Calcutta were to audaciously claim that he had reached Howrah, then he will definitely be in illusion.In the same way a pilgrim who though chanting offensively is unaware of the fact thinking his chanting is on a divine plane but the fact remains that he will never be able to get Love of Godhead.There are some goons and rogues too who also take the name of Gaura-Nityananda to commit robberies and looting,however such type of chanting can never bring any auspicious results.Their Lordships Gaura -Nityananda are most compassionate and therefore the sincere souls who take their names in submission and humility will receive their mercy to the full measure in that their offences will be mitigated and they will be able to obtain Love of Godhead.The son is important only because he is able to save his father from hell but if the son does not do devotional service to Lord Hari then the name son is merely a farce because his father will never derive any benefit in his after life and his attempt in raising such children is simply troublesome endeavour.
